Nissan Diesel Big Thumb

The Nissan Diesel Big Thumb (Japanese: 日産ディーゼル・ビッグサム) was a heavy-duty commercial vehicle that was produced by the Japanese manufacturer Nissan Diesel (now UD Trucks) and sold between 1990 and 2008. Unlike the successor to the Nissan Diesel C-series, the Big Thumb's size range was primarily available in other big-size trucks.
