stretching a 1200 ute... has this been done here in aust

where do you want to stretch it? in the tray or the cab, or even make it a dual cab. i just bought a gb122 sunny truck which is a 1200 ute with alonger wheel base and tray.

indeed why would you wanna stretch it? i opinion is it will just take away the whole Datsun originality :( Anyway i have not heard of this being done before but i haven't been around Datsun for very long. here is a youtube clip taken in Japan of a Datsun 1200 ute Drifter it looks longer than normal maybe this can help you and your question. :S

yeah ive seen a few from other countries...red, yellow and black in theses conversion...

yeh fair enough. i wouldn't mind moving the wall behind the drivers seats for either a sub box or just a back parcel shelf. but its a lot of work for very little gain. But good luck on your mission would love to see your progress all the way through!! cheers :)

I don't think I've ever seen a stretched one. They just expand the cab over the stock body.

C-utes (coupe-door utes) are just plain ugly.



Extra cab utes look good, many photos here on Datsun1200.com

Hi there, in sa there is a lot of gays that have this idea. Fortunatly for you we have a limeted amount of datsuns.
I recon if you can get a Wagon frontend, a long ute rear, and some big bucs. you can make some oks green with envy.
The car would prob be worth nothing if you cell, but have the potential to be a defenate showpice.

from me also, good luck!!

Ps: Please mate go all the way and add some 17, 18 or 19in wheels to round it off!!
