bigred Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 hey guys! New to the forum...:D I've recently got a 720 cab but it has some issues with the front suspension. was wandering if the front suspension from a d21(freely awailable here) would swap into the 720. both sure look simmilar!! I'm thinking of swapping the entire steering assembly+diff+upperand lower arms. has anybody done this... do u think it might be do able??:confused: Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Welcome to Ratsun. You may want to start by letting us know if your 720 is a 4X4 or 2X4. You said diff in there. Were you talking front diff? I know you can put the 2X4 D21 spindles on the 620, SO, you should be able to put them on the 720. As to the steering setup. Keep us posted as to what you do. I am thinking of trying this setup as well. Bebani and I were looking at the possibility. Quote Link to comment
RatRod25 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Check out http://www.infamousnissan.com there is a bunch of HB guy's and quite a few 720 guys over there that might help.. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 hey guys! d21(freely awailable here) Swap the 720 body onto a D-21? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Wing windows! RHD! double cab and 4X4 wow. Hood would suggest an '81-'82 but the fender emblem is not quite right for an '82 I think. The trans case shifter is different from ours too. A very interesting vehicle. What motor is that?

deafbob Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 look like diesel engine. Quote Link to comment
bigred Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Its a Nissan TD27 natural aspirated 2.4l diesel (the same engine also comes in a TD version) . Its common in later nissan cabs in this part of the world. the rig is a '83 model which originally came with a SD25 motor. Its my daily ride and do some offroading as well. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 '83? Well that would explain the NISSAN fender badges. That hood was only used in '81-'82 in North Am. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 That would be awesome with a Turbo. :D:D:D Quote Link to comment
bigred Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Since it being nissan and all... hope I'm not going to be kiked out of the forum.... Its a 720 though:D I love this forum guys! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Close enough. The 720 WAS a Datsun for the first few years of production. Quote Link to comment
