That's pretty cool. Although I can't find pricing for it anywhere. Wonder what they go for new?

I believe the reason there is no pricing, is because they don't actually sell them, that looks as if that website is trying to sell used ones or something along those lines, because they also have an older style Sentra that I know 100% isn't produced anymore, and they have the Patrol which also I'm 100% sure they don't produce anymore either.

I dunno. some of the body pics look like updated styling and the interior is also updated. I also don't believe they ever originally produced a 4 door hardbody, although I could be wrong there.

If nissan was smart they would bring it back with new more powerful 4 banger and sell tons, sorry but the frontiers are freaking butt ugly and the d21 was good looking and a solid dependable truck.

Im trying to find a friend to translate that page, but from what I understand they do still have the tooling to make those models and have updated the interiors on the HB, Patrol, and Sentra Classic. My source for that link above was from HardBody Wiki which can be edited by anyone, so If I'm wrong someone chime in. Its still nice to dream though ain't it??

Imagine importing a New HB for your dd and using the patrol as a weekend beater!! :rolleyes:

eh, with the kind of money involved in importing a car, you could easily completely rebuild your current truck with new... everything. Looked into importing a skyline awhile back and it's not cheap.

if you did import one though, you could get the 4cyl diesel option. That seems pretty cool

+1 on the smoker... I haul milk for a living and stop at 8-15 dairies a day. Lotta smaller 25-100hp old diesel tractors just waiting to be transplanted into a mini truck, but these Dairymen just let them rust out in the pastures. :tisk:

Here is the link I got that info from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Hardbody_Truck
Scroll to the bottom of the page where is says "End of Production"

That's cool, when I was still selling parts for a Peterbilt dealer I had two large milk hauling fleets who bought from me. Both started out as Kenworth fleets but then they saw the light and moved to new Peterbilt 389 and 367 setups.

LOL!! can you talk my boss into a K-Whopper W9? Im stuck in a plastic Volvo. Spec for weight. We bill by the 100lb. :frown:

My 07 Volvo has 145,000 on it and the front end rattles like a shopping cart, eats steer tires, has a crappy 13spd auto shift that is even dangerous in manual on snowy roads, and a troublesome regen system that likes to clog. Want the rest of the list? :facepalm: Stupid EPA!! Its all good though, I moved up here from PHX when the economy crapped out.. I work harder, but the money in good.

We had nice t600's 10 spd with c12 Kitties @ 425hp, but the Pac lease came up. :frown:

yea diesel fuel is a bit more expensive than regular gas, but they generally get better fuel economy and have more tq than gasoline motors. Not to mention the tax breaks you get from having an alternative fuel vehicle.

What I can barely understand by the web site assumed purpose, is that they are not selling vehicles only but also telling the history of Nissan. I guess for that reason some old models are included between the newest ones.

For example, look for the box -at the top icons-that says "trucks" and point it with the mouse, and you will notice that when you click the D21 box will take you to somewhere in the internet, but if you click the Frontier box will take you to their site showing the latest model specifications, etc.
