Awesome... never seen one of those before... It looks like it's either a coupe that thinks it's a pickup, or vis versa... not sure which though.

 

And, not that it's related to the truck at all, but I like the sound of the person selling it... honesty and a little humour tends to go a long way in my books, especially when it's coming from someone trying to sell something...

Damm, if the 720 was going, and I hadn't crashed the wife's car, I would bid on that.

I'd hate to think how hard parts are to find for it though.

Oh so rare indeed! Ken who runs the ODPL site had one imported from Aus. & is in the process of restoring it. I believe those were only exported to Aus. & maybe So. america.

To give you an idea how rare they are, I used to work for a Nissan dealer. They had a poster showing every model sold in Australia, I don't recall seeing one on that poster.

Which reminds me, must have a chat to the spare parts guys and find out if 4x4 and 4x2 720s used the same suspension components, just with different mounting points.

Guys, even though I would love to own it, THAT IS ONE UGLY ASS TRUCK!!!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

Besides, mine is uglier.

Funny thing is, I showed my wife it and she thought it could be cool.

Oh these things are some of the coolest trucks ever! I'd love to have one myself. What's it cost to ship do you figure? 4K? Of course if I were ever in a position to do that, I'd want one that needed little work.

 

IRSA sell the 720 and get this!!!!!!!!!!'Cmon you can always get another 720! You can't always get another one of these!

 

You must bid U320

At the very least someone invite the winner to join Ratsun!

[Jester]

Fisch: Not sure how much it costs to get something shipped, but a container costs about $1000...

 

Irsa: I'd consider it... Just avoid going out to eat for a couple months, and you ought to be able to afford it... :D

To many expenses needing my money. I need to replace the back fence, replace the kid's bedroom windows, remove a tree stump and fix the wife's car after I crashed it. The big issue is, no garage.

The rear springs are all the same length and width and will interchange, but, come in different thicknesses, number of leaves, arch and spring rates. The shocks are totally different between 2 and 4 wd.

 

Front torsion bars

2wd diameter 24mm X 822.5mm long

4wd diameter 22mm X 982 mm long. So the torque and anchor arms will be different too.

 

Upper control arm and ball joint may be the same. Lower control arms are different as is the ball joint, sway bar and shocks. Tension rod used only on 2wd.

[irsa76]

Thanks for that. Shame about the torsion bars being different.

[RacnJsn95]

And this...

Always wanted one of these.

[Jester]

Now that is cool.!!!!
