datsuns did make 4x4 it was a dealer option
There were machine shops who did the conversions that individual dealer had contracts with .Datsun were built by spencer low, southbay, quadco,northwest atv. They used early jeep components dana axles and the semi tough dana 300 tease. Early models used Jeep rear end also to keep 5 on 5 1/2 matching wheels but them the datsun rears were retained with a machined front hubs to run the standard datsun 6 lug wheel.. most conversion company's added a tag under the vin tag on the back of the driver door sil ,quadco had stamped shift knobs I've owned 5 datsuns 73-79 converted to 4x4 a 76 courier sasquatch 4x4 conversion. Luvs were hickey's and toyota were wolverines. I have a 4x4 buyers guide from 1976 that lists the manufacturer suppliers of the conversion parts and company's who did the conversions on the west coast . They were interesting fun trucks but a real bear to drive daily .
I bought a 1978 Datsun KingCab 4x4 Brand New from the Dealership $10,500. tax included in Regina Saskatchewan Canada in Spring 1978
just wondering what a datsun 620 regular cab, 5 speed manual, runs and drives. looking for a price i should try to sell it. was thinking of fixing it up if so, could you send some parts websites
