The Datsun 17T was a small truck produced in Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

Design

The Datsun 17T was almost identical to the preceding Datsun 15T but distinguished by a wider vertical bar in middle of the front grille.[1]

Drivetrain

The Datsun 17T was mechanically identical to the Datsun 17 with a 16 PS (12 kW) engine drove the rear wheels through a three speed gearbox to give the car a top speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).[1]

Production

The Datsun 17T was produced in Yokohama from April 1938 to January 1944 and then resumed after the Second World War in 1949 with a different grille as the Datsun 3135 and with an almost identical grille in 1950 as the Datsun 4146.[1]
