Description of 1971 Datsun Other

Cool little truck in good working order. It's a New Mexico/Arizona truck with great patina. Owner's manual shows ownership dating back to the 1970's in New Mexico. I have invoices for the past 5 years as well.
Bought it locally a few months ago and selling it to make room for a larger truck. I love driving it, ut I need something larger to haul 4 mountain bikes and 4 people.
Auction is a no reserve auction. Bid to own.
Specs: stock 1.6 liter engine (L16) and stock 4 speed gear box. Manual windows, anual brakes, anual steering. Drum brakes all around.Truck has been lowered by a previous owner but still rides well and doesn't scrape on speed bumps. No through rust that I could find. Previous owner welded a patch on the driver's floor as shown. As he explained: "it's not pretty but it's solid". This truck could be prepped and clear coated to maintain its current look.
A few small issues: turn signals are not currently working. Hazards work. Horn doesn't work. Temperature gauge does not work, ut a new sending unit is included. I do plan to address this, f I can find the time. Windshield gasket is old and cracked and should be replaced to keep water out. New ones are $30 on Ebay. I keep the truck in my garage and do not drive it on the rare occasions it rains here, ut this could be an issue in wet climates.
What's new:-radiator (aluminium rad)-ignition points-ignition condenser-ignition coil-cap-rotor-spark plugs-spark plug wires-turn signal lever assembly (rebuilt unit)-fuel filter-door panels-seat has been re-upholstered-headliner-speedometer cable-wheels (stock wheels, and blasted, rimer + paint)-tires (size: 185/75 R14)-bleed valve on each wheel cylinder-brake master cylinder-adjusted all 4 drums
It starts right up and runs great. It stops well. All gears work well, t remains in gear and never grinds. It comes with some spare parts such as a full tune up kit (cap, otor, oints, oil), nd some random misc. parts. Emergency brake works very well (holds truck on steep grades)Clear Arizona title already signed over.
It is a 44 year old truck so just to remind potential buyers: this Datsun is sold as-is, here-is. I have driven it multiple intervals of 30+ miles and never had issues with it. But it is an antique truck and will require more care than a modern car. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. Available for inspection at any time in Tucson, Z. I can store it for a reasonable amount of time after payment has cleared. Truck is listed for sale locally as well.
