Here we have a Nissan Patrol from the 1960s. While these are great trucks, it’s sad that the early once are the only ones the US market ever officially got. The Patrol soldiers on today as a sister product to our Infiniti QX56- errr – QX80 and past generations have served well in various UN-frequented “trouble spots” in the world.
This is a claimed very original, running and driving truck and looks like it won’t need too much to clean it up. The modern wheels are an ‘interesting’ choice on this one, but it pulls them off fairly well. I’d want the steelies around to have the option of showing as original.

Having been a Landcruiser fan way back in the day, I always loved what looked like a Cruiser and Rover had a baby. Nice find and a good price!
