Wall Street and trucks
Link to Wall Street Journal Magazine - watch the slide slide show at top. Wondering how they will manage to screw up THIS good thing.

Re: Wall Street and trucks
Good Article. Not sure how it would screw THIS up. There is some pretty cool old trucks in the slide show. I'm digging the Dodge quad cab & Van truck.

Re: Wall Street and trucks
Now you did it, I want to trade my truck for a 77 Datsun king cab!

Re: Wall Street and trucks
Wow! I should of not got rid of my 76 Datsun truck, but I wanted something that had brakes, a wiring system that would stop melting down and not a continual rust machine. Bought the truck new, POS! The 70 and 71 Datsuns where better trucks, better looks too.

Re: Wall Street and trucks
Interesting read and a neat slideshow. Gotta admit, I would just assume find an early 70s datsun 620 truck in nice shape as a chevy. They are really neat trucks and very hard to find in good shape because nobody cared about them at all until very recently.

Re: Wall Street and trucks
That and they are nowhere near the quality of a Chevy truck of the same vintage.GM trucks were abused worse and survived.The proof is in the pudding.There are still beater GM trucks out there.Those 620s were long gone 20 years ago or more.Same for Toyotas and all the rest.

BTW I wasn't trying to imply Datsun trucks were abused more than others or anything like that. Simply that nobody restored them until recently and there is no replacement part marketplace other than the few parts nissan still carries. Last edited by thepenguin99; 03-13-2010 at 10:57 PM. |
