Sometimes it's funny what gets you where you want to go. If you are in the service industry that something is likely to be an overworked and under-appreciated vehicle. Thankfully, none of mine were worked as hard as this picture. Don’t know who this truck belongs to. It’s a google image but the signs tell me it's Houston and that's close enough to get it the opening picture of this article..
It's not one vehicle that stands out in my mind. It's a group. That group is comprised of three Nissan pickups (years 79-81-87). I also had an S10 that probably should be here but it doesn't fit well in a Nissan story. I would estimate that I have driven Nissan pickups around 900 thousand miles over a 30 year period. They were not perfect but Nissan sure got my respect and they allowed me to take advantage of some opportunities that put food on the table. They also allowed me to work at something I liked while learning how to become a civilian.
