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.

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.

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.

Mississippi. It is registered as a 1965 and driven on a regular basis.

This 1960 Datsun pickup belongs to Keith. It has a 302, an OD trans,
narrowed ranger rear. I removed the original bedsides, narrowed the bed and hand
made the fenders. I didn't have a windshield I reshaped the front of the cab,
installed a two piece flat windshield and re-made the door window openings using middle
eighty's chevy truck door window openings, wekding to the original Datsun window
frames...... Keith..

about 100,000 miles since then."
