The Nissan Type 180 is a Japanese Army military truck from the 1940s by Nissan firm.
The history of the creation of the truck:
Nissan’s second production military truck, largely based on a US 1937 Chevrolet truck. During the course of the war, it went through several stages of modernization, while many parts were simplified and changed from metal to wood in order to save materials. It turned out to be a fairly successful truck and was produced until the early 1950s.
