The 320 truck is closely related to the 310 [[Bluebird]] sedan and is unrelated to the Sunny family of subcompact vehicles like the [[B110]] "Datsun 1200".	+	Introduced August 1961, the '''{{wikiEx|Datsun_Truck#Datsun_320|Datsun 320}}''' light truck was commonly called the "1200" due to having 1200 badges.

Current revision

Introduced August 1961, the Datsun 320ᵂ light truck was commonly called the "1200" due to having 1200 badges. This denoted the size of the E1 engine, and not the model name (320) or market name (which was "Datsun" in the Japan domestic market). The 320 truck is closely related to the Bluebird 310 sedan and is unrelated to the Sunny family of subcompact vehicles like the B110 Datsun 1200.

Overview

The 320 Datsun 1200 was sold in Japan as the Datsun Truckᵂ, Nissan's eighth Datsun light truck model series. It was followed on by the 520 series in 1965 (marketed in North America as a 1966 model). The first Datsun truck to make 60 HP was the 1961 model 221, but "Datsun 1200" badges were not added until the Datsun 320.

☁

The size is very similar to the B110. Length and width are nearly identical, but it is much taller due to its 1950's design.

Top speed: 105 kph (non-USA models)
Weight: 955 kg
Wheelbase: 2470 mm
Bed: 6' x 4'8"
Load Rating: 
 -U: 500 lbs (1/4 ton)
 -N: 1000 lbs (1/2 ton)
 -P: 2000 lbs (1 ton)

For 1964 and 1965 there was a ute (coupe utility) version, the #N320/NL320.

1961/1962/1963 are (L-)320-year digit-serial

e.g. L-320-2-01505B

1964/1965 are year-(L) 320-serial

e.g. 4-L 320-60214

320 export models for USA had:

• the year stamped on the chassis plate, unlike later Datsuns which had a special build plate on the door jamb.
• The chassis plate may have a year stamp that differs from the Car Number year digit
• NL serial numbers appear to start with Car Number "60xxx"

Engine

The E1 "1200" engine displaced 1.2 liter (1189 cc). The E1 was produced from 1958 through the late 1960s. Those installed in 320 pickups were rated at 60HP. This was an older engine design modified from the 1950s Austin engine.

Engine Swaps

#J15 Swap

The Datsun J13 will bolt right up to the stock 320 transmission, the only piece you will most likely have to swap is the bellhousing adapter plate. This is the plate that is between the flywheel and the block. The E1 and the J13 have the same block bolt pattern, so the plate from the E1 will go right up to the J13 and then you can bolt up the J13 to the 320 4 speed. You may have to use the E1 flywheel and starter.

320 Pickup

Datsun U320 double-seat Pickup (ットサン ダブル シート ピックアップ) was officially marketed as the "Pickup" in the Japan domestic market, and sometimes called the "double cab".

320 Sports

Coupe Utility versions of the 320 truck made 1963-1965. It was marketed as "Sports Pickup" in USA and "Pick-up" in Australia.

☁ Album 9018 Album 8210

The N320 has a one-piece body with integral tray/bed, but sites atop a full-frame chassis. So, the N(L)320 is not a unibodyᵂ like the B120 Datsun 1200 Pickup.

Approximately 1000 were sold 1963-1965 by Nissan Motor Company in U.S.A., who advertised it as the Datsun "Sports Pickup"
