Does anybody know where i can find the factory paint codes for the Nissan 720's for 85-86.5? I know they didn't have that many factory colors during these two year models but any leads would help greatly!

 

Thanks in advance guys! B)

I think these are right and they are not '85/86 specific ... most are from '82 none are newer than that.

Thanks Mike, but i am not sure that will help me as i am trying to get the exact same color that is on my truck now. It is an 85 and it looks to be a root beer brown metallic paint color.

#015, #810

 

was marked as 'Brown' ... Guess you need a color swatch to compare

Yes, the codes are under the hood on the ID plate.

Wa hahaha what he said.

What does the "G" stand for? Is that the interior color code?

[ggzilla]

Yes, the second part is the interior color, G = charcoal gray.

[SHORTDOG]

Yes, the second part is the interior color, G = charcoal gray.

 

Mine says "C" , what color is this?......Camel?

[ggzilla]

haha, i only know what G stands for, don't know what other interior codes there are

[SHORTDOG]

Well i am no expert or anything but if i remember right, 720's only came in 3 different interior colors right? So i am thinking....

 

G = Grey ( Which is actually black with gray trim)

B = Blue

C = ?? has to be the tan color interior (so i am assuming "C" stands for Camel) what else could it stand for....right?

[ggzilla]

You are so logical.

[SHORTDOG]

Logically speaking! :w00t: lol! :rofl:

Does anyone know what color code #106 is for the 1985 720 model year? Or what trim code b is?

Does anyone know what Nissan model nl-stuf is? 

[datzenmike]

# 106  Blue Mist Metallic

 

B, C and G are codes for upholstery trim. B=Blue, C=Brown and G= Black.

Paint codes of... White #002 and Dark Blue #518 also use the same upholstery trim.

 

If your color code is  #355 that's a complementary two tone with #106 and #518 (Blue Mist Metallic and Dark Blue)

 

Thanks, had to look this up so we both learned something.

Does anyone know how to fix a leak underneath the cowl cover on the passenger side? It is leaking pretty bad onto the floor.

Does anyone know how to tell what trim model (base, deluxe, or sport) a Nissan 720 pickup is?

It could be several things including a bad windshield rubber seal or a rusted seam. But lets hope it's this as it's easy to fix...

 

Remove the wiper arms from the pivots, unscrew the louvered plenum cover and remove. Use a flashlight and look in that right side corner and you'll see the opening for the air inlet to the heater fan. It has a small raised lip to keep water out but over past it to the outside is a drain hole for trapped water. This is easily blocked by debris that falls through the louvers, such as pine needles and maple keys. Clear that drain and the water won't collect and spill down the inlet.

 

This drain empties behind the right fender in front of the top door hings

I fixed the leak by caulking the raised lip, because water was dripping down into the heater fan through the base of the raised lip.

Does anyone know how to shut off the interior dome light on Nissan 720? It won’t shut off when the drivers door is open.

Check that the cowl drains are not obstructed by pine needles and maple keys.

The King Cab interior lamp has a three position switch that can be turned on with the door shut, turned on when the door is open or you can select OFF. I would guess that if you get one from a King Cab you may be able to fit it to your truck.

I have a 1985 Nissan 720. Where do the tachometer wires go? I am trying to install a tachometer.

[datzenmike]

Factory tach? Just plug it into the dash.
