        This truck belongs to Joe Wagner of Modesto, California.  Jim says " I had the engine overhauled in 1999 and have only driven about 200 miles since. I have Invoices (12 pages) listing everything that went into the engine, tires, clutch, ect. Prior to having the engine work, I drove it daily to and from my business. I registered it non-opp as it just sits in my garage until I have more time to play with it again. Perhaps now, that I finaly took a few pictures, I will get back into it and send updated photos of the progress."     Cool truck Joe

    Hi, Love your site… I have been looking at it for a long time and thought I would send a couple pictures of my ’63 I have had for about 5 years.   I bought it from Bobby Hicks in Rancho Cordoba, CA.  When I lived in Tahoe City, CA. I have since moved to Manson, WA.   To become an Apple Farmer.  I have some work to do including the master and slave cylinders for the clutch and brakes.  It came with the bed that you see in the photos. Also someone changed the seats to buckets  And that makes it hard for being 6’5’’ but I do love the truck and would like to get it back on the road soon.  Your Parts Page will be a great help for that.   I used to be a 510 nut… I still like them.  I have a ’71 Honda N600. And I am a Studebaker freak.   Scott Miller in Manson, WA.

          My name is mark, I saw your site awhile back & id love to see pics of my 65 L 320 on your site. I bought it 1 year ago , its  all original with 58,000 miles & runs great! It sat in a yard for 8 years & I'm the 2nd owner. So far I've sanded & primered it, lowered it 4 inches, painted a few int. pieces, replaced the muffler, & painted the rims & put new tires on it. I live in San Diego Ca. Thanks in advance... Mark...
 

      My wife Carol has a 1964 N320 that was her grandfather's that he bought new.  It has 94000 miles on the clock and very original. I just rebuilt the front end and it still had Nissan shockies! I was very lucky a local Auto parts store could get me most of the parts. Needless to say it drives a lot better now. We plan to repaint her and just fix her so we can cruise around. We live in Toowoomba Queensland Australia and I have seen about 3 others like ours.

     This truck belongs to Manuel and is from Portugal, it has been there since the 70's.  Manuel says it is registered as a 1962 in Portugal.  But comparing the photos with others it looks more like a 1964 or 65. 

      This very nice looking L320 is a 1963.  It is owned by Hiroyuki Nirei in Japan.   Its nice to see such a nicely restored truck in its home land. 
Thank you for sending the pictures.  I love the Bamboo Tan color.  It looks very much like my 1965..... Dale

      Owned by Kelli Henderson.   Its a 1963 Datsun 1200 - L320.  Excellent condition, 4 speed on the column.  All original parts, engine, hub caps etc.  No accidents, runs well for a 41 year old truck.  It does need a few parts, like heater knob and radio.
