Zombro Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I just picked up this warlock of a Nissan/Datsun. Grandaddy to the Pathy? Body shots Interior shots Haven't decided what to do with it. I am starting to part it but tomorrow I may change my mind. I bought it to hopefully swap the motor to my other 720 king cab pick up. "Zombro" Quote Link to comment
LeDevil Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I would do the 720 Pathy I have never seen one of those before. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 In a way it's a forerunner (:D) to the WD-21 but not factory. Like the 620 4X4, the 720s were bought by a builder and converted over to what you see. http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?p=99332 Here's a picture I have from a couple of years ago: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/Datsun%20car%20trucks/truckNissan84720Bushmaster4X4.jpg[/img]"] ... from this site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2241585 Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 This "pathy" also has a sunroof, which is kinda neat. Oh Oh and it has A/C. Quote Link to comment
LeDevil Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 See more reason to do it up nice, plus you get all that spacious room and the ability to still haul stuff with out getting wet :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 i heard they were called a nissan bushmaster Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have been trying to get the motor together lately. I finally have tools and an Engine stand. Bushmaster got picked up by my friend who is probably going to eventually do some ford swap and solid axles. Here's a few pictures of the motor for the White truck. So I put the pathy motor in the white truck to find out it runs on 3 cylinders too, so now I am just putting the Original motor back in with a refreshed head. Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Here is the timing cover I found on ebay. Its so nice to have a shiny new piece with the head looking as good as it does. Old Water pump, as you can tell. owner didn't get the distilled water memo. More pictures of todays work later. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 That's...... the way to do it! Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 yeah, finding those was not as easy as I had hoped. ended up spending an hour at a hydraulics shop trying explain what I needed it for and how big it had to be. But they had them. but then finding an Allen key that big was annoying too. I think I ended up finding a huge torq bit. Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Crank pulley cleaned up a bit Motor is starting to look good. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 since you got the weber on there, you can remove 99% of that vacuum line bullshit Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 lol, I know Its just sitting in there and looks like a rats nest of vacuum lines. I need to sit in my engine bay and clean the crap out of it. Getting the truck out out of the yard and into the drive way was sketchy and fun. I noticed how shot some of the bushings are, also I love how this truck is designed. so easy to work on. I really wish I had the time to write my own haynes manual because there is a ton of crap that book leaves out. At least torque specs are in it. Cant wait to get Zombro back on the road.

Jester Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Personally, I would have kept the Bushmaster. Clean truck though. What did your buddy do with the Bushmaster? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Theres a bushmaster in Warrenton, lady wont sell it. She fought to get the damn thing lol.. There was a few in WA for sale for a while Quote Link to comment
Zombro Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 my friend got it towed from my mom's house. So its around still somewhere. Out of the two the King Cab is the nicer vehicle. The bushmaster was more work to get back to daily status and the way the cap was attached made it very difficult to fix the rust.
