Nissan Trucks Top Models
The D21 generation was the successor to the Datsun "720". The name, "Datsun" was still used by the company from 1980-83 then completely renamed itself, "Nissan" beginning with the 1983.5 model year line of trucks and cars alike. The D21 series were unofficially called, Nissan Hardbody in the United States.
The truck's name, "Hardbody", refers to its double-wall bed and overall styling. The Hardbody was produced for the U.S. Market from 1986.5 until 1997, and were direct competition to the Toyota compact pickup. The move from the 720 to the D21 Nissan series body style changed mid-year 1986.5 so the new 'D21' 1986.5 and later Hardbody can easily be distinguished from the earlier 720 body style by its two large headlights rather than four smaller lights and a less boxy, more aggressive appearance. The Nissan Pathfinder was derived from the Hardbody Truck and started in the same model year with chassis code WD21.
