Wayne, Parts for 320 pickups are rare, mostly no longer avalible from Nissan
and it's a real treasure hunt for hobbyists. I strongly suggest that you join
the Classic Datsun Pickups Yahoo group to receive and join in the email list.
There, they discuss parts exchange with other models and restoration and
preservation of the original components.

These little trucks are an outstanding hobby for a select few who are so
inclined. Hopefully you to will join their ranks. Your NL model 320 is a very
rare and sought-after vehicle with it's larger cabin and doors It's more
fitting to us larger Americans (average larger persons than the Japanese home
market).
