The 222 is visually identical to the previous 221, except for it's cargo section. The bottom of the cargo section on the 221 ends just below the height of the wheel, on the 222 a small skirt section has been added.
The big change that occurred with the 222 was the introduction of the "G" model, designated the G222. The "G" model was a long wheelbase version of the standard 222, which at a total length of 4040mm was 288mm longer than the standard 222. All of this additional length went into the cargo area, the cabin area of the G222 was exactly the same size as the 222.
The 221 was available with either a 1000 or 1200 engine. Side mounted badges in the vehicle say DATSUN 1000. There is a round badge in the centre of the dashboard that says DATSUN 1000, or on the 1200 version these badges all say Datsun 1200.
