**1982 720 build** First Ratsun Project ever


Recommended Posts

Hello all this is my first Datsun project and I'm pretty stoked about it i have alot of good ideas and plans i have come across just being on this forum for the last couple weeks. Little story on the truck. So i traded my 1983 Chevy s10 for it after getting bored of s10s. (it was my 5th one) I have built several bagged s10s and i currently own a 03 with a LM7 5.3 in it. My plans for this thing is tinker around with it for a bit till i can drive it back to Michigan when i get out of the service next october (then it will be cut up stockfloored and bagged), being that it has no rust at all. The datsun has 110,xxx on it and runs pretty good has a few issues but what 30 year old vehicle doesn't? Z22s, 5 speed with a weber carb. So far i have dropped it some and cleaned it up a little i am currently working on getting the stereo install finished, i am also getting a set of titans off egay along with some tires. Wanna get some little things done this weekend like honda hatch hydraulics on the hood new shift boot new shift knob little odd and ends then start getting the interior painted.

 

On with some pics.

nice truck me likey already

 

Thanks man! I really appreciate it, I am having a blast with this truck!

 

Nice job man! Have you drove it with the dynamat in it yet? Make a different in how it sounds inside?

 

Thanks! Yea I have drove with it in and it makes LOADS of difference it's a lot quieter in the truck now. It should improve a lot more once i get the rest done.

i know its late to mention but rubber paint then dynamat then insulation then carpet woulda been the best result for quiet.

 

 

Hmm, damn I wish I would have known that o well, I will give that a shot after it gets bodied next summer.
