The best Z carrier

Featured Replies

My Z is far from completion, but it doesn't stop me from thinking ahead. What would be the best Datsun/Nissan based truck to make a nice Z carrier? Wouldn't it super cool to have something like Mercedes did in the 50' to carry their racecars around Europe?

Keep them coming...

This has been my search as well. I wanted a vintage Nissan truck to haul my roadster. Unfortunately, it's my conclusion that the early Nissan trucks didn't have the mass or power to be an adequate car carrier. At least the U.S. Market Imports.

The most likely candidate would be the medium industrial truck Nissan Caball. But that truck never made it here.

BRE had the solution. They received a Hino Truck from Nissan for the team. They yanked out the 4 banger diesel and installed a 500 cu in Cadillac motor!
