Nissan made a pickup truck version of the B110 Datsun Sunny 1200--the B120 "Datsun Sunny Truck" as it is named in Japan. In Australia this was called the Datsun 1200 Ute. In South Africa it was known as the Bakkie. It was sold in South America, but sadly not in North America. The B120 is a Coupe utility type of pickup truck. A Coupe Utility is based on a car design and has an integral cargo bed (not a separate bed and cab as with traditional trucks).
LB120 in Greece
The Nissan part number prefix for B120 is G20.
