The 77s were the last good looking year, the 1973 design with the round
headlight rings but with a 2 liter engine with a 5 speed and lots of
chrome. I'm thinking of painting the Devin the same color red and use it
as a vintage tow vehicle (open, lightweight trailer). It'll be a vintage
vehicle when I finally get that car done!
Are there suppliers of aftermarket products (Datsun dashes, trim pieces,
etc) being made for that era?
(Don't shoot...I promise this is the Datsun truck posting),
