Product Details

Product Description

Datsun 520 and 521 were pickup trucks manufactured by the Japanese car company Datsun (now Nissan) in the 1960s and 1970s. Both models were known for their durability, practicality, and affordability. The Datsun 520, which was produced from 1965 to 1968, featured a spacious interior, a sturdy ladder frame chassis, and an efficient four-cylinder engine. It also had a unique "dog-leg" four-speed manual transmission, which helped to reduce the length of the shift lever. The Datsun 521, which was produced from 1969 to 1972, was an updated version of the 520. It featured a redesigned body with a more modern and aerodynamic look, a longer bed, and improvements to the suspension system. The engine was also upgraded to produce more power and torque, making it more capable of hauling heavy loads. Both models were available in a range of configurations, including standard, deluxe, long bed, and king cab. They were also popular among car enthusiasts and customizers, who modified them to create lowriders, rat rods, and other custom vehicles. Overall, the Datsun 520 and 521 were reliable and practical workhorses that helped to establish Datsun/Nissan as a major player in the pickup truck market.
