fredges Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Fredges what's that paint code if you don't mind sharing?? Sorry, but I don't know the paint code. P.O. painted it. I understand it is "one shade darker than stock". It matches the OG paint very well, though, in the spots where you can see the old paint. Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 bamboo tan paint code 529 4 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Its a great color... I thought my dime was bamboo but sadly.. it taint. It's just beige.. and masking tape beige to be more specific. Code 817. Truck looks good though. Bumper has a bit of a sad face though. Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Not a Datsun but this one just arrived into my stable. I had a couple of the Daihatsu which are basicaly identical. One of them was geared with 7.17 R&Ps so it only went 25 mph. Both had empty, unfinished transfer cases. I always wanted to find the gears and finish the machining of the case to make mini 4x4's.

Mine is not, it's a RWD. 550cc 3 cylinder with 4 speed. This one is a 1988. Pretty clean little truck. I'm digging it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I was going to say, I bet the neighbors love this. Yeah I'm sure it irritates some of my neighbors. But my neighbor parks a camp trailer on his front grass. My other neighbor parks his trailer on half of his front lawn, and puts his boat on the side yard so he can park his truck on the driveway. Another guy has a trailer in the street in front of his house all the time. It's part of the reason my wife and I chose this neighborhood to buy a house. People are used to it here. 1 Quote Link to comment

sebpv Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Duece, do you have a build thread? 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I bought another one... I know what you need now! Since you have other 4x4's you need to build this one a bit different. Long arm front suspension, coilovers poking through the hood, low ride height, 35" tires, cut out fenders, LS1, 4L80 trans, trailing arm rear suspension. That 720 would make a cool stadium truck. 3 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 There are plans involving this truck.... At least large chunks of it.... It's a project I hope to work on over the winter, but I prefer to be one of those guys who shows what he did, not says what he's going to do. So perhaps I will have a cool reveal come spring, i hope. 2 Quote Link to comment
