What was the first 720 chassis number?

Did the 720 trucks start at 370001?  What number did they start with?  Does anyone know?  I just realized I'm about to scrap #370009.

Offer it to Nissan North America.  They might want to restore it for their collection.

Is it the tan 4x4 on craigslist?

In shakopee?

If so I want the roll bar.

Yep.  

Somehow i think Nissan North America has better things to do with their money???  I'd rather they sponsor my race truck... :thumbup:

JN6-F-D-0-6-S-X-D-W-004953 - SERIAL NUMBER

Japanese-made units start at serial no. 000101

USA-made units start at serial no. 300101

I read through that but missed the serial numbers.  Turns out is was just a coincidence that it was close to such a round number.  #6908 for 1980?  Now I feel better about crushing it.

I get 37001 as the first serial number of Jan '80. This does not mean there were 37000 made before that.

 

I also get 000101 as July '79 @ #2 plant and 1000154 starting in June '79 @ # 1 plant. These are the two earliest serials for the '80 model year truck.
