New to Nissans. Just bought a 720

[Tryin2layadime]

So i just picked this truck up for 1900 its a 1986 nissan 720. it has the nissanZ motor mated to a 5 speed with 114,000 miles. im liking it so far its bagged on 17 inch escalade wheels.

 

i really need some stock parts for it hopefully ill find them here or find out where to get them

 

as you can see its being charged because it wont keep a charge i need to figure out how the alt and battery need to be wired up.

Reverse TRIangulated 4-link.

 

I know what I see.

Go read more.

 

 

Is the bed tilted/not level?

It looks like the front of the bed sits higher than the rear.

 

How high does this thing go?

[Tryin2layadime]

You said tri that means 3. If you meant tri 4 link then you should of said that. And yes the bed sits lower in the back I think it's a body mount bed floor issue.

 

And reverse link means it sits behind the axle this is still all in front of the axle. Normally on a 4 link the bottom bars are parallel with the frame which these are not but still a 4 link.

It untucks the tires at full lift
