I like seeing other Datsuns, so this is where you say what you saw on the road.

I was watching Cheech and Chong "Up In Smoke" and noticed a few Datsuns in the background driving around.

Across the street from my Friend's house is a Blue Datsun Diesel 720, Hi unkle Lou.

I have seen alot also around my house, all shapes and colors. I try to be like the motorcyclist around here and if I pass another Datsun/Nissan truck owner I put my hand up to say hello.

saw an 83ish 720 with a diff bed on it today hwy431 boaz AL. the bed looked like it might be from a later model 720 it lacked the tie downs and exposed weld. Anyway it was the same **** brown color mine is. I gave him a smile a wave, then cooked the tires to let him know they can go fast lol.

Ive seen a couple 720's lately but the bed was full of painting supplies/home construction tools in both cases.

My friend just picked up a 1990 4x4. So at least I know one other Nissan guy with a truck. Once we got my 720 idling good, he took it around the block and was surprised how much faster it is than his VG30.

Noticed that someone in my hood has a 2wd 720. I haven't seen anyone drive it. So no idea who it is, but guessing its an older man that doesn't really care the he owns a 720.

Also when I was in LA in the middle of june I saw a few 620's, one was a really clean brown one. Saw a sweet dealership of old blazers and old broncos, I think in santa monica, twas freakin sweet.
