nissandaground Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 heres a 85 nissan 720 i bought for $700, i had to replace the head gasket and i also installed headers and a 34/34 carb while i was under the hood.. the truck was already bagged and bodydropped but it wouldnt lay out so i put it under the knife ;) the first thing i did was notch out the firewall and fenders cause they were sitting on wheels when aired out , i still need to adjust front shock mounts cause they are binding and not letting it lay rocker in front, in the rear he had kept the leaf springs on so it wouldnt let it go lower so i cut them off today and also removed gas tank to make room for four link and it will be replaced with fuel cell, i still need to remove the bag brackets and bags he had on rear axle to allow it to lay in back since i will be mounting the bags on my lower four link arms anyways to get more lift... well heres some pics when i first bought it .. low but not low enough... before i took springs and gas tank off notice how high leafs are keeping frame bye bye gas tank , lowering blocks and springs with plenty of room to start welding in my four link after notching firewall, still need to adjust shocks to lay rocker ... alot closer to ground his old bag brackets need to be removed tomm so it'll lay tomm i will be cuttin off all unneccasary brackets like leaf spring , axle brackets for bags , gas tank bracket what do ya'll think ?
