No.226 Datsun Truck (1948)
The Datsun Truck series was born before the war as the Datsun 13 Truck (1934), later being revived after the war (1946) as the 1121. The 2225
was launched in 1947 as an improved version; with its 722cc engine, it had a 500kg load capacity and seating for two. The vehicles produced
immediately after the war clearly demonstrate the hardships caused by shortages of materials. To cope with such difficulties, complex manufacturing processes were avoided and some parts of the body were even made of wood.

No.228 Datsun Truck (1958)
The 11th-generation 220 was launched in November 1957 along with the 210 (Sedan), which shares the same engine and chassis. The engine was
the newly developed Type C (4 cylinders in line, 988cc); nicknamed the "Stone Engine", this was the first Nissan OHV. Its ability was demonstrated
when the 210 won its class in the Australian Rally. This historic model was the first car to be exported to America along with the 210 (Sedan).

No.036 Datsun Truck 1200 Deluxe (1964)
The Datsun Truck helped to provide logistic support for the post-war economic growth of Japan. The 320, released in August 1961, was noted for its
Bluebird-like front mask and spacious interior. It featured a 1,200cc engine and independent (torsion bar) front-wheel suspension, improving
performance and comfort. A long body was also introduced. Following a full change in May 1965, it became the 520.

The first-generation Cablight, the A20, was launched in 1958. In 1968, following a third model change, it was reintroduced as the Cabstar (A320). In
the intervening ten years, the A20 was widely used along with the Datsun Truck as a very capable yet compact vehicle for commercial goods
transport. The second-generation A220 was launched in March 1964, followed by the A221 with its D11 engine in April 1966.

No.232 Datsun Truck 1300 (1966)
The 520 (13th generation) was launched in May 1965 following a full change of the 320 (the 420 did not exist). As well as using the newly developed
1,300cc J engine, it increased seating capacity to three. Due to improvements in the suspension, the wheelbase extension (+60mm) and the greater front and rear treads (+80mm), driving ease and ride comfort were greatly improved.
