  1. The 2WD tank is 13 gallons vs the 4WD 16 gallons NS3
  2. as ggzilla noted, the primary difference is where/how the tanks are mounted. Early models were bolted to the underside of the bed and later ones (includes 720) were bolted to the frame. If you are willing to add the frame mounts, you gain tank size plus there is the option of the 4WD tank that is slightly deeper Fits NISSAN 720 83-86 FUEL TANK, 4WD, Standard Cab with Short Bed, 16 Gal. | eBay Filler neck etc is all in the same position.
  3. There is nothing there that should be producing any fluid - use a white paper towel and sop some up - look at the color & give it the sniff test to confirm what the fluid is. Only possibility I can easily come up with is if somehow the center pin of the lowering block has impacted the axle tube, but if that block is aluminum then the steel axle tube should deform the block, not the other way around. Worst case is to pull the blocks out and attack the mount with a wire wheel getting it all clean then watch for anything seeping. Axle tube isn't under pressure so if that is indeed what is happening, you can patch it (welding preferred).
  4. There always be dumpster diving! Mmmmmmm Cheapo guy I worked with survived on just one of those lil yogurt things every day (lunch) and a cup-o-noodles for dinner
  5. Hey meester - das a big square hole in de floor, whacha doin wid dat? punkin clearance?
  6. Failing to mark the driveshaft alignment at all connections (incl at rear axle) has high probability of inducing vibrations when you reassemble. Not an issue with new pieces, but after a driveshaft has "worn-in" over the years, it creates its own alignment where everything is happy. Just use a pin punch and put a mark on each flange so it all goes back together the same position.
  7. Is the hood release mechanism still there? Nice score with the door(s). Some true vintage vibes with that if you can "restore" the logo
  8. Flew back from my Whitehorse trip today, thought I'd share a few critter pics. Saw 2 herds, just chillin' and sauntering about Some of this years models And this lil guy too. I see a family of Boghorn sheep here in the same location every time. Last years little one got smacked by a truck between when I passed and the very next day. 😞 This deer kept hopping along, stopping to look at me, then hop some more. Maybe he wanted to go for pink slips? The result of (very) recent wildfires. You can see a section of the highway that is darkened from the fire crossing over. Some sections the highway was so blackened it was like the fire dragged its ass across.
  9. I'm thinking of the "arrest me red" item... 😄
  10. Weather was cooperating today, got the box back outside, re-checked everything one more time, then make this pop-out hat! Figured out what should be slick to frame the opening and the cutout so got that mocked up. Had hinges on the brain so dug through what I had on hand and rejected every one. The hood hinge on the 620 gave me a great idea to allow it to swing up clear of the box floor. Then I thought, "Hey, you might only need to open this every year or two, WTF - KISS" so a new idea is brewing just bolt it down or some other retainer. Got too much other life activities happening so won't touch this again for 2-3 weeks
  11. There is always the up side to that, and if balanced life goes on. There needs to be more good globally. IMHO back when the US built the Panama Canal and gave it to Panama, that was a world of good. Wanting to take it back is like a schoolboy taking the ball and going home to sulk. There might be a parallelism in this remark...
  12. Oh I like what's peaking out past the van
  13. Very true. Make them good and fresh, you're not hauling much ever anyway (1/4T max) and there is a brake proportioning valve under the cab that adjusts for load. Disc brakes are shine for the money.
  14. Don't forget about North Korea, more Bat Crazy IMHO, just can't get his shit to fly straight.
