1958 Datsun 220

Even during the existence of the wanted and budget Datsun Truck pickup produced in Japan since 1955 have been sold a lot of samples on all continents.

The 220 Series of the pickup was developed in November 1957. In appearance it did not differ from the previous Datsun 120. At the time of the issuance of the new Datsun 220 the production of the cheaper 120 up did not stop until 1961. The truck was produced until 1958, when the new representatives of the second generation came to replace it:

221 (years of production from 1958 to 1959)

222 (developed in 1960)

223 (developed in 1961).

The trucks were based on a series of Datsun 210 sedan and had two engines from Nissan with output of 37 and 48 horsepower. On the latest model of 223 was installed a new engine with output of 60 hp. These pickups were available in two body styles: Double Cab and Van. All members of the second generation had an independent front suspension with torsion beam, but in 223 the suspension system has been completely redesigned. In 1958, the Japanese pickup truck 220 began to be exported to the US market under the brand name Datsun.
