34: 1972-1979 Datsun 620
The original Datsun trucks were some of the most popular compact trucks in the world. The American versions of these trucks were popular because they were great on gas consumption and could haul lumber or tools with ease. The 1972-1979 Datsun 620 had some drawbacks that make buying a used one troublesome. The rusting is the main problem that you’ll encounter with the 620 and it’s not uncommon for these models of the truck to have a rusted-out floorboard. This is just something that Datsun enthusiasts have learned to live with but rectifying the problem can either cost a great deal of money or just is not possible.
Rather than taking on a ticking time bomb, other newer Japanese trucks are worth looking into. To get a Datsun 620 that’s worth acquiring, you want an original owner truck that doesn’t have rust. Nevertheless, this can be quite difficult and a good portion of these trucks are already rusted out. It would probably be wise to avoid the 1972-1979 Datsun 620 unless you can find an immaculate model.
