Nissan Junior

The Nissan Junior was a series of medium-sized pickup trucks that Nissan built from 1956 until 1982. It was introduced to fill the gap between the smaller Datsun Truck, which was based on the Datsun Bluebird, and the heavier Nissans sold under the Nissan Diesel brand, such as the 80-series trucks. After the merger with the Prince Motor Company the Junior was combined with the Prince Miler, and the Junior was sold at Nissan Bluebird Store dealerships in Japan. The first B40 Junior of October 1956 carried 1.75 tons and three passengers on a 1.5 L four-cylinder engine, and a cab-over version, the Junior Caball, followed in December 1957. The 40-series of 1962 was the first medium truck able to carry two tons. Since 1970 Zamyad has assembled it in Iran, where it was sold as the Nissan Zamyad and later the SAIPA 24 and Zamyad Z24.
