Watching further I'm struck by the similarity of this lovely little vehicle to the British Austin and Morris models of the fifties and sixties. The engine is remarkably similar to the series A engine which lasted well into the seventies and are still happily chugging away in collector's Morris Minors, Austin A40s and many more. I never thought I'd be nostalgic about the barked knuckles and nipped thumbs I had from working on those cars and vans but this is bringing back a flood of memories, particularly of working with my late father. He would have enjoyed this a great deal. Thank you for what you are doing.

That's a cool old little truck, it's an interesting point in Japanese history. You can tell it's influenced by Austin and looks kind of like a Mini. Japan had just started making civilian/consumer vehicles again as, in the early post-war period, they were only making industrial trucks and so on needed for clearing debris and re-building the country. No one could afford a car anyway but by the late 1950s and 1960s they were starting to make consumer vehicles again and were heavily influenced by western automakers from Europe and North America. Once they got their confidence back instead of copying design aesthetics from the west they started to style their own cars and the west started making our cars look like theirs design-wise!

For safety reasons always place your thumb "behind" the starting handle when hand cranking an engine especially when it is cold. Should the engine backfire the handle can kick back breaking your thumb. Earlier models had a lever to retard the ignition manually which helped to prevent this happening. Brings back memories, as a young lad starting my dad's Morris Minor on frosty mornings, he could never afford a new battery, he was out of work with dickie heart and could not swing the handle himself. If the plugs were oily she would never start, the trick was to take them out and heat them in the fire.At eight years of age I was regularly late for school, the teacher used his cane, it wasn't my fault!

That clutch master might work now the slave is moving. I'm glad you were able to get the bolt out of the torsion key. When I first saw it I was afraid the torsion bar was broken. I liked to die of anxiety waiting for you to get to the point of checking it out! While I have never seen a Datsun torsion break, we are talking about you guys aren't we? LOL! Those little trucks were some of the best running, easiest shifting vehicles around. I have had four 521 trucks over the years, two '71's and two '72's. Three of them I had down to the frames the third I got it running, went to back it around outside and the whole cab lifted off the frame! The only thing really keeping the cab from rolling off was the shifter and the steering column! I ended up parting it out but I did take it around the block before I parted it out. The frame was rusted in two under the bed in front of the left rear spring. I guess from many years of fuel leaking on it. My first one was a little badass. Jap high compression head, lumpy cam, two sidedraft webers and Datsun headers. I had to sell it after I got chased across a state line hauling shine. Nuf said. That was back in the 70's, I'm 63 now and know better. Ah, the stuff we did as teenagers. I wish I could make you an offer right now but circumstances won't allow. Treat her nice. Get it up on a rack and spray it with a 50/50 mix of mineral spirits and chain bar oil underneath to stop the rust in it's tracks. Park it outside and keep the smokers away from it for a few days. Find that one last sign painter in town and put the shop logo on it and you will get some awesome PR and advertisement for sure! Cheers! Terry

Lance looking at the bed lines reminded me of my Dad's 73 Toyota. The paint on the cab of the Toyota would fade bad but the bed was fine. He told me the truck was imported without a bed to avoid a tax placed on imported trucks. A different paint was used in the US for the beds. Maybe a similar story here. Bed was built in US and not much thought put into style to save cost? I was born in 68 so young in the mid 70's but can remember every summer helping dad polish the cab to bring back the color to match the bed.

Two things that's always good to find. An unlocked motor and a key. If it has a clean title that's a cherry on the top.

What beauty, reminds me of a Morris van which we would have seen a lot when i was young over here in Britain, remember my late dad starting a Morris Oxford the same way via the starting handle in the winter, because the starter wouldn't work, looking forwards to the next great adventure you boys undertake.

Yep, they called them rice burners back then, and if you had one you became a laughing stock. I had a 65 datsun car and it caused me alot of ridicule in school.

I want it. So cool. Wish they looked like this today. I'm falling in love with these vintage Japanese trucks from that era.

I had a 1958 Morris 1000 when at college in 🇬🇧 and if the battery was close to flat, I'd crank the engine with the starting handle or push it down a hill, jump in the car and pop it into 2nd gear; always worked and hella lot of fun (19 Yrs old!). Loved watching you guys tear into the little truck- what you planning on doing with it next? Richard

Had a 73 Datsun 510 and it was a good little car .....used to tune it myself and did some other work on it as well.....it had independant suspension in the rear ....which was nice except it wore on the u joints fairly quickly ....enjoyed watching you get this one back on the road ...All the best
