[Roadsters] OT - 1969 datsun pickup on craigslist

Re: tranny and rear-end ratios -- I'm pretty sure I still have the owner's
manual for my '70 PL521. If anyone's interested I'll dig it out and get those
numbers...

Nice truck, but (I think) somewhat overpriced at $4200. It should have a
L-16 in it, but I don't remember if the P/U trannies had the same gearsets
as the 510 sedans or wagons. The SW boxes had lower 1st and 2nd gears while
3rd and 4th were the same as the sedans. Off the top of my head I don't
remember what the rear end gears in these PUs were, but I recall they were
pretty low and used a solid axles setup like the Roadsters.

Within a year or so Datsun started selling an extended cab version with a
5-speed. I seem to remember that Mr. Katayama came up with that idea.

FWIW,
Ron
