The new truck had a more contempoary look, at the time quad headlights were the height of fashion on cars, and Nissan included them on the truck as well. Conventional front hinged doors were a welcome addition to the Caball for the first time, and they opened into a modern and comfortable cabin. The C240 was the first Caball designed with six foot tall beer-bellied Westerners in mind, and it was the first Caball that was a comfortable fit for most non-Asian bodies. The cabin also featured flow-through ventilation for the first time.
Mechanically the C240 is very similar to the C142 model, which was fitted with the H20 1982cc 4 cylinder OHV engine which produced 99hp at 5000rpm. The other engine option was the SD22 diesel engine.
The first version of the C240 had a grille with 4 rows of horizontal slots. The second model, which came out in 1969 had a different grille with one large horizontal slot top and bottom, and a set of three slots in the middle between the indicators.
The badge on the front of the C240 consists of a gigantic wings shaped device with a huge N in the middle and Caball in smaller writing under the N. The other badges are rather cryptic, with either a G4 or D4 badge on the passenger side just above the headlight. Petrol powered (gasoline) Caballs have the G4 badge and Diesel powered ones have the D4 badge.
The C240 stayed in production until it was replaced in May 1976 by the all new Nissan Caball C340.
