KFunk740 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 WOW! That truck is just beautiful. :thumbup: Thanks, just got done painting the original wheels. Somehow I managed to match the patina of the truck by using International Harvester red with a couple coats of flat clearcoat, and it was a struggle to find whitewall radials similar to the original size. It had just got done hauling that load of mulch home, which you see in the garden. Headin back for more tomorrow. I've put around 16K miles on it in 2 years. Quote Link to comment

converted_to_datsun Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 I'm usually not a 720 guy but that truck is done well. I like how the tires fill up the wheel wells and how the bumper and inter-cooler flow together soo well Quote Link to comment

85Nissan720 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 The solid axle we jused on both trucks are from 85 Toyota 4x4 pickups and the leafs in front are Toyota 6inch lift leafs it's kinda confusing at first since theirs not many out there and there's not many build up forums on Nissan SAS but it was easy overall..

gunnyz39 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I was hoping someone could tell me the approximate year and model of this truck. It used to belong to my grandfather who had passed and was hoping to obtain some info. I really like the truck and hoping to get it within a few months when i can drive out to california to pick it up thank you in advance 1 Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 By the metal dash top,tail lights, and reflectors I'd say '68. Maybe earlier? 1 Quote Link to comment

gunnyz39 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thank you for the feedback. I was assuming it was a 521, thanks again! It looks pretty clean for a 1968 Quote Link to comment

gunnyz39 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 What is an L series?? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 What is an L series?? L series is the motor line. The 'L' Block and head style were used on a few different sizes of motor. The is the 6 cylinder version, 4 cylinder (what is in your truck) and also 6 & 4 cylinder diesels that used the same basic block and head. Within those you have different displacement sizes, your truck likely has the 1600cc version of the 4 cylinder 'L' series, making it the L16. There will be a casting stamp on the block designating the L16, L18 or L20 of the block. There are lots of little differences as well but that would take a bunch more explaining :) ...and a pic of my truck with new treads. 5 Quote Link to comment
