I'm back home! Everyone I spoke with in Japan - from young to old - was surprised and interested to find that I drive a Datsun 1200.

The Sunny Truck Shop was fantastic, it is a good place to buy a truck (1990 or newer) and the parts as listed on their web site. The owner and mechanic were both very friendly and took my picture and talked a bit. The trucks are all nice varying from original to modified.

I got some Sunny emblems there. They were out of used tachometers at the moment, though new ones are available about $300 USD. They had a NISMO 10,000 rpm Sunny speedometer but of course it was not for sale (it was different from the Datsun Competition 10k model).

Sunny Truck Shop is a must see if you've never seen B120/B122 utes. It was my first look in the metal, and I must say I like them more than ever now! The Shop is straightforward to get to by train:
1. From Tokyo, take Keihin-Tohoku line to Higashi-Kanagawa station (station map PDF)
2. Take Yokohama line to Nagatsuta station
3. Take train to Onda station. You can see the Shop from the station (look for the Jomo gasoline station sign)

Here's a picture of the Datsun 1200 stuff I got while there.
