DotSoon Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 picked her up on saturday and have enjoyed every minute while driving. current plans are to rid it of the shell. future plans are to lower and re-tint the windows possibly remove the rear bumper Quote Link to comment

Wormdrive66 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Where do you park it so I can come steal your Chrome Rings :-) jk Nice score. Quote Link to comment
720life Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Great looking 720! Take care of it and it'll take care of you. You need some of the smaller side mirrors IMO, the big ones like that should be on a 4x4 (or a full size truck lol). And ya need some more pics! Quote Link to comment
DotSoon Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 looking into what mirror options will look the best. ill have more pics up soon. got the shell off already. it belonged to an 80 year old dude and he kept it in perfect condition. blew a .01 co2 when i got it inspected. decided to get the vintage plates, in utah that means no more safety/emission testing :) Quote Link to comment
DotSoon Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 datsun on a diet :) . young little 720 thinking about ditching the bumper..... yay or nay? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'd go with chrome flag mirrors(ST style) and chrome rear bumper. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Nice 720 ! I would go no rear bumper IMO. I guess it all depends if your gonna use it or not. Quote Link to comment

Telkwa Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah, until someone taps dat ass and you're buying a new truck over what should have been nothing had the bumper saved it. +1 Keep the bumper BTW - 78K miles?? Nice Quote Link to comment
DotSoon Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 that's the thoughts im having.... as much as i like the way it looks without the bumper it will save me if some dumb teenage girl putting on makeup runs into me. going to try and stay on top of the body rust. seems like its all surface so ill be hitting that ASAP. need to call around to the junkyards and see where i can go hunting as well.

DotSoon Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 a little photochop action to get an idea of what she might look like with some inches taken away. Quote Link to comment
Telkwa Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's a truck. I must be an old curmudgeon. I do not understand why everyone wants to slam these classic old trucks so they can't cross RR tracks without losing metal. Quote Link to comment

I do not understand why everyone wants to slam these classic old trucks so they can't cross RR tracks without losing metal. i dont think it has anything to do with age, really falls with personal preference. 2wd trucks IMO are meant to be lowered to some degree giving them a more aggressive stance. this is my dd so it wont be lowered as to make it difficult to cross rr tracks and what not. the truck will let me know what it wants. i will listen to what it says and accommodate it accordingly :) 1 Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I agree with keeping it. Style over Comfort or Comfort over Style...... or both of course. haha Quote Link to comment

DotSoon Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 finally got some suspension done. two inch blocks in the back and cranked the torsion bars to level it out. this is the first stage. still needs more low but that will come later. Quote Link to comment
