The B120 used the same wheelbase and running gear of the  Datsun 1200 sedans, coupé and wagon models. Initially it used the same  stainless steel grille as the 1200 sedan, and the rectangular gauges of  the Standard model B110s. Both regular (B120) and long-bed (GB120)  models were offered. After the 1200 car series ceased production the  B120 continued. Interestingly, in certain markets the B120 was actually  badged as 120Y, to correspond as part of the updated 120Y range. The  B120 ute was sold in Australia until 1985. It was marketed in New  Zealand during the 1980s in two trims: RoadStar and SportStar. This  model was known as a bakkie in South Africa. It's capable of 49 mpg-US  (4.8 L/100 km; 59 mpg-imp)).In 1978, in the Japan market the B121  model replaced the B120, with the most notable change being a switch to a  plastic grille of the type used by the B110 Coupé. Also notable was a  change to upscale round instrumentation.Nissan GB122 Sunny TruckIn  November 1989, an updated B122 and GB122 (longbed) models replaced the  B121. Prominent among changes was a switch from round headlights to  rectangular ones (along with new grille to accommodate this change).  However other significant changes included:front disc brakescatalytic convertersNOx Conforming (emission controlled) models RB122 and RGB122 the A12 engine.<img src="http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2967/250pxnissansunnytruckb1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5279/250pxnissanb121.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />AND THE B1400 - BAKKIEThe  Sunny Truck lived on in South Africa for a total of 37 years (launched  there in 1971). The B140 variation, with 1.4-liter A14 engine, was  manufactured up until 2008 by Nissan South Africa as the Nissan LDV 1400  (Light Delivery Vehicle). The 1400 Bakkie saw many changes in its long  career. The main ones were a 5-speed manual gearbox, power assisted disc  brakes, and a roof height extension to accommodate taller South  Africans. A sport model of the 1400 Bakkie was marketed as the "Champ".  This model had appropriate side striping, individual seats, a rev  counter, and central handbrake. This vehicle had two popular local  nicknames, either just plain "1400" or "kanniedood" which translated from Afrikaans means "Cannot Die",  a testament to its reliability. The 1400 Bakkie was replaced late in  2008 by the "NP200", a derivative of a Romanian Dacia passenger saloon  (sold as a Renault Logan in the same market). A major departure for the  "Nissan Bakkie" is that the new model is front-wheel drive (FWD),  whereas the original was rear-wheel drive (RWD) - a major selling point  of the vehicle in South Africa where it was the only RWD bakkie in its  class for many years and where "RWD" adds a lot of ownership macho. A  long standing marketing credo was "put the power where the load is"  (similar wording).[7] The 1400 Bakkie was assembled by Nissan in  Rosslyn, South Africa (Nissan).[8] Another assembly location for the  model was the AYMESA plant in Quito, Ecuador which assembled it under  the Datsun brand name as the 1200 PickUp.<img src="http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/665/250pxnissan1400b140bakk.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
