In October 1979, Nissan introduced the Datsun 720 as successor to the 620. The 1980 to 1983 models were called the "Datsun 720" and would later change to Nissan Truck in the US, with the name officially being "Nissan 720". It was available in regular cab and "King Cab" variants, with regular and long bed options with standard (GL), deluxe (DX), and "Sport Truck" (ST) trim packages. Multiple engine variants were available, but it's mostly commonly found with the 2.2L I4 (Z22S) and the 2.4L I4 (Z24). In production until 1986, the 720 was replaced by the Nissan D21 series (a/k/a Hardbody) which was launched late in 1985.
