DREWSDIME Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Clean 720! Nice tube grill also. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 i say take the rear bumper off and MOAR LOW!!! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Scrub that armor all off the tires so they look natural... sorry it's my natural/minimalist nature, and otherwise it's nice and clean. You mentioned the chrome along the sides.... It would be better lower down where it actually protects the rockers from stones. When in doubt lower it out. Maybe a couple of inches all round to improve handling. Those chrome rims work so well with a bright color tuck don't they? Those don't look like the stock hood louvers. Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 those look like chevy mirrors too, get some smaller ones Quote Link to comment
NissanEgg Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ditch the huge Chevy C/K style mirrors, ditch the camper top, ditch the black rub moulding on the sides, ditch the rear bumper. Then lower 2" front and rear and it will look real good. Any lower drop and you may need to change out the tire size to something smaller. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Here are a couple more photos he posted, my guess would be the grill is stainless steel aftermarket that could be painted white, it looks good. :thumbup: I am sorry, but stock grills have a spot built into the grill for the datsun emblem. I am not sure whats going on with the tacky hood vent plastic do-dads, I have never liked them, and if I were you, I would search the wrecking yards for a 1983+ white hood and buy it ASAP, but that is what I would do. This is a nice looking truck as it sits now, but it can look better IMHO. Quote Link to comment
Messi720D Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 thanks for the ideas i just got the truck 2 weeks ago it was having and over heating issue but took care of it i got it from an older gentelmen i guess the history was that he got it from some other dude that just towed it with his rv and its not bad looking its all there even the original oweners manuel and guide and a/c guide and cruise controle its pertty cool now i just want to give it a nice make over and i think getting it low is the first thing here is some more pics lol dog paw print steering wheel cover 100% pimp and grill is chrome still need to clean the interior its dirty carpet needs some cleaning Quote Link to comment
SHORTDOG Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Dude! Your truck has the 80's written all over it but you have to ditch the mirrors and replace them with the factory chrome 720 mirrors, get rid of the skinny side trim, rear bumper & the doggy print steering wheel cover :no: and leave the chrome rockers (those are way cool and rare too) sell the rims and slap on some factory "ST" wheels (polished) with low pro tires (195x60 R14), leave the camper on it and cut a rag top into the top of it, and slam it! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 This is why I said you need to find a white hood in a wrecking yard without the 81/82 vent holes, the vents on your hood belong on a house, not a datsun, that is something the former owner put on there, as stock vents are black plastic, and kinda goofy looking IMO.

Messi720D Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Need some pictures on some stock rims and tire sizes I was thinking of slapping on some armada or Titan rims and options Quote Link to comment
SHORTDOG Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 These are the factory "ST" wheels i was talking about. (this what they look like polished) Heres what they look like on a 720 king cab and i have set for sale... :angel: :rofl: Quote Link to comment

SHORTDOG Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I am asking $250 obo and if you are interested in them, I would be willing to meet you in Palm Springs, CA. if you decide to pick them up rather than pay for shipping. Quote Link to comment
Messi720D Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 How long will it take to lower truck?? And what's the most common way ?? Quote Link to comment
SHORTDOG Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you have a good jack and jack stands...it should take you about an hour. Install lowering blocks in the rear and turn the torsion bolts up front.......DONE! Quote Link to comment

c10jim Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 thanks for the ideas i just got the truck 2 weeks ago it was having and over heating issue but took care of it i got it from an older gentelmen i guess the history was that he got it from some other dude that just towed it with his rv and its not bad looking its all there even the original oweners manuel and guide and a/c guide and cruise controle its pertty cool now i just want to give it a nice make over and i think getting it low is the first thing here is some more pics lol dog paw print steering wheel cover 100% pimp and grill is chrome still need to clean the interior its dirty carpet needs some cleaning Clean truck. i would drive it and enjoy. Enjoy the dependability and the gas mileage of the truck before hacking and butchering. The truck looks like it was adult owned. Something that is very hard to find these days. New carpet can be obtained via the internet.. Also most small plastic clips that usually break on these older models can still be bought from the dealership. I was amazed at the parts still availabe from my dealer. Quote Link to comment
