I am thinking it must be a Nissan pick up truck of some sort

Yup. It's the Nissan Pickup, specifically a "720" which is absolutely meaningless. It doesn't actually say '720' on it anywhere. It's just a number assigned to it and it's known as the Nissan Pickup.

The one I had was an '86, I'm pretty sure. I invented a sport in it. Instead of 4WD offroading, I called it "Two wheeled driving" and I went everywhere people went in their 4WD drive trucks. The trick was to put studded tires on it and then stick about 400 pounds of birch tree in the back end, so there's weight over the tires.

As it sits, especially with the tires on it right now, it's absolutely terrifying to drive.

By that, I mean it's a fucking riot. You need to pay attention like 100% of the time. It has no traction at times - none. At best, you have some steering and you need to coax the ass end into doing what you want it to do.

I thought about putting new tires on it and throwing a few bags of grain or kitty litter into the back. I'm not going to. I'm going to drive it in Sheer Terror mode.

LoL Most people around here, and I would imagine there too, put bags of sand in the beds of pick up trucks for weight, and plus if you get stuck on ice you can use sand for traction to get moving.

That sure does sound like a fun challenge to drive. Especially when you have a foot and a half of fresh snow everywhere so I am sure the roads are all snow covered and slippery.

In your two wheel driving game do you ever get stuck and have to engage the four wheel drive to get back going?

Kitty litter. It works better than sand, doesn't freeze as easy, and absorbs moisture. Or big chunks of wood, in my case. Like 400 pounds of wood.

There is no 4WD to get going again. You have to not get stuck in the first place. If you get stuck, they're pretty light, so you can generally get going again with some effort. A bumper jack helps. You put a bag of kitty litter down, put a piece of flat wood on it, put the jack on that (so it has a stable base), and jack the truck up in the air.

Once you get the truck high enough, you just push it sideways off the jacks and it comes down out of the ruts. You can also opt to fill in below the wheels.

That, a shovel, and a come-along (pulley system) are all you really need.
