Small Diesel Pickup???

[stlowry]

I am trying to locate a small used diesel crew cab 4x4 pickup. Nissan or Isuzu, like you see in every country except the U. S. Does anyone know where to find a truck like that?

I bought a used nissan 720 extended cab diesel a few months back. I've already sold it off though. Rare find, the year I had 41 were sold in the state. Good runnin lil pickup.

What year was yours? Where can you find late model used ones and how expensive is it to get them brought here?

I think it was a 1984 yr model. I bought it at auction from the original owner. I'm not sure about bringing foreign trucks into the country. I don't think it'd be worth your time or money, unless that is you truly want the vehicle and don't care about reselling it. Newer trucks are certainly harder to find, but older pre 1990 pickups have them. I'm pretty sure the litte mitsubishi's had a lil perkins diesel in them. Great little trucks.

I have been looking for one of these mid 80's diesel trucks for 6 months and so far no luck. I have found a few that were junk for 2 k and others on Ebay in nice shape but they want 4 to 7 k for those. I am willing to spend 3k on a nice one but everyone that is selling a decent one wants way more than that.

Dang, I bought this one for 1200 and sold it for 1400. Didn't want to get stuck with it so I flipped it pretty fast. If you guys are willing to pay that much, I'll look harder! haha



It's was a farm truck, so had a few problems. Headlights were out, and the glow plugs were bad. I changed the plugs and left the lights for the new owner to figure out. They had it rigged to start with an ether system from a tractor. Kind of nifty, but hard on the motor.



I'll keep my eyes out for you guys that really want one.

canada is the easiest place to find stuff like that. anything 15 years old or older is a relatively easy and inexpensive import into the states. Of course being on the northern border, its easy for me to say.
