The Kurogane Mighty (types NA, NB, NC) was a four-wheeled cabover truck and cargo van introduced in 1957, powered by a 1.5-liter engine producing 62 PS and rated for a 2-ton payload. Its cabover layout maximized cargo length within Japan's tight urban dimensions.
When Nissan Machinery assumed Kurogane's operations in 1962, the Mighty was carried over and sold under the Datsun Cablight name — one of the few Kurogane products to survive the company's absorption into the Nissan ecosystem.
