aayala1 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hello guys i've been perusing around ratsun for some time now since i bought my 720 and i haven't really had the chance to make a post yet so yea let me start off by saying that i purchased my truck off a gentlemen on craigslist quite fond of datsuns he informed me that the truck had been great to him and had nothing wrong with it in fact it had alot of new parts. New parts: new shocks all around new waterpump head gasket fan/housing full exhaust system Those are some of the new parts i can remember him actually showing me. The guy was asking for 2000$ i jumped at the idea that i could lower him down a bit but after the parts he had just installed and the actual state of the rest of the truck i found it a very fair price. I spent my 2 grand that i had saved from my graduation gifts and set out to buy the vehicle and was not disappointed. My Trucks info: 1983 Datsun 720 Regular Cab Napz 24 with at the time only 103k (now has 110k from work and college driving) 5 Speed Stick Shift Rebuilt Hitachi Carb Heres some pictures for you guys that i hopefully can embed correctly :D 1 Quote Link to comment

WooHooMobile Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 very cool looking truck. seems pretty honest. Yeah those rims will look great with a polish, buy some polishing equipment, jack up and support the rear axle, run the car in 1st gear and polish away! Quote Link to comment

aayala1 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yes I agree just actually doing some steering linkage repair so gotta get that done first there's a lot of inner tire wear and my inner and outer tie rods are shot there's a lot of play when you yanks side to side on the tire Quote Link to comment
OneFreakyMF Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Welcome and very nice score! I found tie rod ends on Ebay that were priced better than rock auto and a lot cheaper than my local parts stores... Might wanna check that out. Quote Link to comment
