Dude nice. A couple months ago I got a 1984 Datsun king cab pickup 4x4. I got super lucky. My friend actually found it but he can’t drive stick so I bought it. And it’s been the funnest project. It already has upgraded 31” tires and a Webber carburetor. Just about everything works. I’ve had so much fun replacing old parts like the slave and master cylinder, cv boots, brake lines. Interior. New stick bushings and shocks/ struts. Removed gas tank cleaned up rust. New electric fuel pump and filter. New led lights. The list goes on. Planning on putting a 3” body lift. It’s been real. Off roading has been awesome

Back when Nissan was making better vehicles than Toyota. I was told that when these trucks entered the US they were classified as cars since they were built on a car platform/frame and that the beds when installed here and reclassified as trucks. This was done to circumvent the Japanese truck limit allowed here to protect the small US truck market

The transaxle on the GMC camper which makes it front wheel drive, is the same one, which is on Olds Toronados, Cadillac Eldorados, 1980's Sevilles & mid to late 1970's Buick Rivieras. It's a bit of a "hot rod" legend on it's own. Of course, that camper is worth saving, if it's in as good a shape as it appears to be, but even if it wasn't, it'd be worth pulling that transaxle out. They were reliable, but what really makes them cool imo, is they could be used to make a mid-engined sports car!
