This was my father's commercial that he worked on when I was just a little kid. Great stuff! Great memories (Forrest L. Sigwart)

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Was he the narrator?

[@herbalbert5266]

Oh the memories. My big brother had one of these in 1974-1945. It was a red one and he used to take me around to the bait shop so that I could get minnows for my oscar. 70's were a great time with GREAT MUSIC. I remember he had an 8track tape player in his rig and one of my favorite tapes he used to play was his Bob Seeger and really old Fleetwood Mac before the girls were in the band.

My first tough little Japanese truck wish I had it today. Two wheel drive inline 6 with the 5 speed and half loaded with firewood in the Winter never left me stranded.

I wish more commercials were like this, these days the only thing running your car and or truck is computers.

[@johnwillard9677]

I had one of these. It was a great little truck and very tuff.

Just last week I seen an orange one on an episode of 'Chips'. It was in mint condition but was totalled during a high speed chase scene. It was sad to see.

[@Jgeneraledger23]

These were so cool, you'd really only see them in Blue or Orange.

' i like mini small pick up truck in 1970's is better than today

[@danbasta3677]

So do I. Wish they would make little trucks once again, the Datsun/Nissan trucks, 521 and 620 series trucks. Always loved them.

[@ryanscott166]

Got a white one 340000 miles and still going.

[@BionicDisco]

Glad you enjoyed.

[@danbasta3677]

Love the 620 series and especially the 521 series trucks they use to make. Wish they were still being made today. We need them since gas is up to five dollars a gallon now in days.

[@N66511]

I like the commercial, is very amazing.

[@lars277]

These mini trucks would sell like crazy if they brought them back. It is the auto-makers market manipulation that made them disappear. It used to be that the customer drove much of the market products. We have been bamboozled by the greed of the auto-makers.

back in the early80s there was a cartoon it started out with a truck like this one and it was bunch young kids in it maybe a band I can't remember the name of the cartoon... my uncle has a datsun truck he bought it new in the 70s and its still sitting there with a oak tree. growled up through it

[@danbasta3677]

Cut that oak tree out of there and work on that little girl, get her running again! You won't be sorry. Love these little trucks.

DATSUN: "Nissan", but for AMERICA.

DATSUN 1975 PICK UP TRUCK THE MERCURY MARQUIS 1975

[@BionicDisco]

Yes it is.

[@jerrynavarro9580]

Those were solid built lil trucks ! They could run forever! Too bad datsun ain't here no more! Now its Nissan now it's just garbage now !

[@danbasta3677]

It ALWAYS WAS Nissan. The name Datsun sold better when it came from Japan than the name Nissan. When you pulled the hood on the 521, 620, 720 and D21 series truck engine, the valve cover all said Nissan on the the engine.

[@rodbrown3981]

My parents are threatening to give me an orange one of these for my 16th

[@danbasta3677]

You had good parents. These trucks are extremely excellent trucks.
