Hello,
I have been searching all day, and i finally found this Datsun forum.
I have a Datsun 120y wagon 1970 that is parked in the garage for nearly 20 years ...
I have seen a photo of the 1200 ute by accident and i was so excited and started looking for one, but the spare parts dealers said it is so hard and they never seen one around all pick up models for Datsun around here are 1985+ models..
So if any one know if it is ever possible to convert my wagon into a ute, all ideas are welcome ...
thanks

Is it a 2 or 4 door Wagon?
Certainly possible but it will be very unique, one of a kind.

It is 4 doors wagon, Datsun 70s cars are so rare here .. But also cheap if you found any due to the lake of spare parts ...

I was thinking of doing the same to a spare 4 door 200B wagon I have here... Recent Sydney Datsun day had a 1600 wagon ute haha

you'll need a skilled coach builder to help you build it.
