-1976 Datsun 620-L20B motor -Four Speed on the floor-Drum Brakes all the way

This is after i got it. It was yellow from the factory, but somewhere in the last 28 years it got repainted to blue. It has some major rust on the fenders and rocker panels. You can see that it was wrecked at some time by the primed hood and fender.

I have since replaced the fenders and lower airdam with non rusted ones. I also replaced the grille with a 79 one since they were made from thicker plastic and less prone to breaking. We also swaped the motor since the one in it had no cam. we repainted it with street line yellow paint to try restore the factory look. We also changed the wheels to my 15in rims and added the roll bar. We call it the Ute now since its our utility truck in the yard here.

Ive added 2 more Datsun/Nissan truck to my collection in the past few months. One is a 1985 Nissan 720 short bed/cab and the other is a 1987 Nissan Hardbody short bed/cab. I got them both as a deal from the same guy for $200. The 720 is locked up and the hardbody needs a flywheel.
