Seeing and driving is believing. 41 mpg highway, 33 town. SD22 sleeved engine, great torque and 275,000 miles between rebuilds is not uncommon. This truck has less than 99,000 miles, brakes were done 2006, suspension, steering and paint done this year. Owner is 89 and his family treated him to a new Toyota with power steering. This small (if you are 6'5" you can drive it comfortably) truck is in a class of its own. Mechanically uncomplicated, economical to operate and strong!

Would you believe one month ago?

40 plus mpg highway, 30 plus mpg town. Never wrecked 98,000 miles SD 22 Diesel 5 speed manual transmission extended cab. If you are over six feet tall there is plenty of leg room. This engine has a history of long life between rebuilds up to 300,000 miles and is a powerful little diesel. The present owner is in his mid eighties and his family purchased a new Toyota pickup with power steering for him. The vehicle has had extensive maintenance that is documented. Brakes in 2006, steering, shocks, and repainted in 2007. There are several more photos available.

Fuel prices are on the rise and this half ton truck gives 41 mpg highway and 33 mpg town. The SD 22 is a strong engine that when maintained has been known to run 275,000 miles between rebuilds; with less than 99,000 miles this engine should give many years of future service. The vehicle has a 5 speed manual transmission. The owner is in his mid eighties and kept the vehicle serviced and maintained. Brakes, ball joints and shocks were all done within the last two years. While the faded old paint was being repaired at the body shop the owners' family purchased a new truck with power steering for him. The Datsun does not have power steering. The work done on this vehicle is documented and a great deal of money has been spent keeping it a reliable vehicle. It needs a new home rather than sit in the barn. More photos available
