I think the 1200 utes would take it easily.

Brought to OZ 70-85, Made in Japan from 70-94, sent to many other countries from Europe, south america, Mexcio and Africa. There still made in South Africa, been used all over the world because there Cheap, very versitile and great repuataion for not being killed with a stick .... I think they would have sold heaps! Most well known oldskool datsun is most proably the Z series but.

EDIT: Sorry did not see the up to 1985 changed to Nissan comment....but i never ever look at a 1200 and think Nissan!! Even if it has a Nissan on the tray, its lies i tell you all lies! there still Datsun's in my heart
