The Nissan Diesel C-series (Japanese: 日産ディーゼル・Cシリーズ) was a heavy-duty commercial vehicle that was produced by the Japanese manufacturer Nissan Diesel (now UD Trucks) and sold in two generations between 1971 and 1990 (although production continued into the 1990s for certain markets). The second generation was marketed as the "Nissan Diesel Resona" in Japan from 1983 until 1986, which is usually what the second generation is referred to as. The C-series was replaced by the Nissan Diesel Big Thumb in 1990.
Lineup
The first generation Nissan Diesel C-series trucks were built from 1971 until 1979. Certain versions, like the heaviest tractors and special-use models continued to be built into the early 1980s as they were only gradually replaced by the second generation models.[1]
