[nsackett]

hey all, i'm fairly new to ratsun, this is my first, of hopefully many, builds that i'm posting online.
here's a link to my Tumblr where i regularly post pictures of it. For whatever reason, the computer i'm using isn't letting me upload pictures. >:(

if you're a fellow tumbl-ee be my guest to follow me and keep track of my build.

I have an 83 KC as well. Looks like yours is a 4x4. (Lucky dog!) I've learned a LOT here. There's some really good people that freely share their knowledge!

i have already learned alot. from carburetor rebuild threads, to vacuum line deletion diagrams. Ratsun is in my opinion the best forum for learning anything about datsun/nissans. and yes, it is a 4WD, it's nice because almost every single 720 i've seen is either lowered, or the bed rotted off because it was so low so there's a flatbed on it. it's also got the auto locking hubs, which i've herd good and bad things about, but until it stops working, i'm just going to leave it.

also, looking into doing a 2-3 inch lift, no idea of how that whole thing works with torsion bars.... any ideas? i've heard there's a spacer type thing you have to buy, and extended control arms? any help would be greatly appreciated.
