Beautiful build.  Really love those style trucks.  I owned a 74, drove it until some lady caught me in a glancing head-on on a divided four lane, yeah, she was a bit influenced.  Put a California Step-side on it, drove it for awhile then traded it for a 78 King Cab, that one was my favorite.

The reissued kit, meh, its not going win any awards, painted with Scale Finishes Datsun Sky Blue...

I would vote for it. That's EXACTLY the way those trucks looked like back then!

They never had bright flashy colors, usually muted tones like this. I remember them in colors like mustard yellow, avocado green, pale tan, pumpkin orange, dirty white. The brightest colors they had were medium blue and straight red - and that was bland too!

Your's captures the real look of the truck when it was new, ride height and all!

I've been looking for the inspiration to build my kit stock. This is it!

Hope you don't mind, I've downloaded copies of your truck to save for my reference file.

Well done!
