Lateef ◊ 2024-11-23 20:39	You think?
Ddey65 ◊ 2024-11-23 20:44	It looks like a 2-Door sedan with a bad conversion job, and a tarp over where the back seat used to be.

Later they adapted the forward control configuration which they are more closely associated with today. If you wanna talk about a two-door sedan with a bad conversion job, check out this Datsun 'Ranch Sedan' Pickup.

CougarTim ◊ 2024-11-24 00:56	That Daihatsu looks like a good match to me.
Gongora ◊ 2024-11-25 00:49	according to my Japanese twitter friends it would be the 1966 version of the Daihatsu Hijet (L36)
Lateef ◊ 2024-11-25 16:50	^ seems like a closer match - the New-Line has a longer bed.
