Welcome to the coolest Datsun pickup truck in South Africa. This custom-built Datsun 1300 combines a race car-inspired interior with a strong dose of JDM excellence to create a unique truck all its own. The passionate owner built this turbocharged monster over the course of a year with help from his grandfather. The end result is one of the most exciting little Datsun 1300s we’ve seen.
In America, we call them pickup trucks, Australians call them Utes, but in South Africa, they’re known as Bakkies. Across the globe, truck enthusiasts work to create custom creations that manifest their idea of the perfect truck. For many Americans, that means building a lifted monster truck with led lighting and massive chrome wheels, which is very different from the little Bakkies of South Africa.
