Ultra rare in this side of the world, a factory RHD King cab Datsun 1500 truck with all the right spec.
Balljoint front end (not kingpins)
Deluxe chrome mouldings.
King cab
Reclining factory vinyl bucket seats.
Floor change. Manual.
Good colour (original colour)
Black interior.
Also has a set of Aunger Hotwire 15 inch alloy wheels.
1483cc so small road tax.
Has a new windscreen in it.

Probably cost you 10k+ in Japan

I got it from Australia. (Rare even there)

UK registered! S reg.

Requires work / restoration hence price. You will have the only one in the UK and possibly even Europe!

Be quick, once its gone, its gone and it was so much hassle to import, I won't be bringing any more Aussies in.

More details on request.
E. Grinstead, W Sussex area.

We polished one of the wheels, so you can see how they should look..

What a beautiful truck. Well done that man datman.

Looks nice, wouldn't the six stud TurboVec wheels for sale on here fit this?

[datman]

The Western Cyclones that sold a few weeks back? They'd bolt up but 8.5 would be too wide!
I have a few other wheels including slots , wellers, and turbines. Anything 6 stud will fit. Japanese, American.

I don’t spend this kind of money on cars so am not a potential buyer, but nonetheless I would like to say ‘great work’ for bringing all these cool old trucks to our shores.

[datman]

Cheers bud

Might sell wheels separately if anyone fancies em.

[datman]

And I can sell the truck without these rims if someone wants it a bit cheaper.

Have you got any pictures of interior, full side/rear shots and engine? it's mega cool and my brain is telling me no... but my booodddyyy is telling me yeeess. A few details which others interested may also like to know/see. edit - does it come with a front bumper?

[datman]

HIya. Front bumper yes. (not that great tho, but you can get them new from overseas) . I have not really got much in the way of side/rear pics .The bed is from an orange one, (i imported it with no bed) . Bed is from an American one. I was thinking of giving it a quick yellow paintjob then taking pics but didn't get round to it.

Truck does need restoration, but it is currently taxed and in daily use, hauling stuff around.

Top of dash is completely toast, I do however have a decent dashboard which i will throw in with the deal.
I sourced a pair of original vinyl seats in good nick for it and have fitted them.
Needs carpet.
Other niggles include, brakes are spongey, Speedometer is very erratic, has an oil leak. (Whoever buys it will probably give it an engine swap during course of restoration) SOmething like an MX5 engine might be a feasible upgrade. IN USA the buick V6 is quite a popular install.

I will look for pics tonight when I'm on my other computer.

[The Jackeria]

Awesome thanks for that =) Another question, since its come from a hot country and no carpets, how have the floors held out?

[datman]

LH needs some TLC.



(see pic, some holes under the LH seat by the crossmember) THere is a carpet in it but its not original and is tired/grubby.

RH possibly too, but at least they are dry I suppose.



Here's the bed . From exactly same year truck.








You can see why I say it is a project, needs bits of bodywork (full bare metal resto in an ideal world!)

[datman]

Few more pics.

With the bumper put on..








Sold.
