Datsun 620 Pickup
Model years 1973-1979.
From my own limited observational standpoint when I was just a kid (10-12 years) it seemed as though Japanese mini-pickup trucks I noticed in traffic were usually Datsuns (such as the 520 model) instead of Toyotas. The only thing remarkable about them to me was their compact size compared to the American models of the day.
During my high school years, a classmate of mine drove one of these Model 620 Datsun pickups daily, a mustard colored one with a bed/box slightly shorter than the one above. It was a nice, attractive truck. Soon there were many more of these to be seen out in traffic, their jaunty good looks boosting their popularity I would imagine.
