Marc,
The 320 is rare in the U.S. . Victor Laury has one he is working
on and I think there was one at Doheny this last Spring. I saw one last
weekend at the Blue Lake show as I was leaving. the Jaremko's in
Spokane have the rare N320 Styleside with the bed attached to the cab
like and El Camino.

Here is a like to the information on Alan Bent's site.
