7twentyguy Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hello, I'm a new member but long time lurker. I own a 85 720ST. Picked it up from the original owner. This is my second 720, I bought my first one new in 1982.I'm doing all of the things I could not afford to do back then. So far I've added bell tech dropped spindles,4"blocks out back,Z71 16"wheels & I took an old baffled exhaust from my Harley and put it behind the back wheel. I've removed the back bumper and had a roll pan welded on. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.It's late and this old man needs his sleep. 3 Quote Link to comment
7twentyguy Posted June 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hey Ratsunites, I've got a question, I've read the threads about changing out leaf springs for 4x4 springs to get a lower drop, my question is are there any other nissan 4x4 springs that will do the same thing? Could I use hard body springs, are early hard body frames the same as 720's? I can't seem to locate any 720 4x4's in the wrecking yards in my area.Any help would be great. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I believe that after the 720, the eye to eye distance of the leaf springs was changed, so d21 springs don't work. 1 Quote Link to comment
7twentyguy Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I was afraid that would be the case. I guess I'll just keep looking till I find a set. I don't know if I trust buying aftermarket, plus they seam kind of expensive. Thanks for the input. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I have a set I would be willing to sell, but I'm in Utah so shipping might be high. PM me if you are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment
7twentyguy Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Well, she's finally home from paint. I'll start working on the 4X4 leafsprings this weekend. The paint is Hot Rod Flatz LeMans blue. 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Looks great with the black accents. The Chevy wheels fit really well too. Quote Link to comment
Omelet720 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 In regards to the 4x4 springs.. I have them under my girl, which I swapped to from my stock leaves that had the overload springs removed and a 3 inch block. I actually went to the 4x4's for more height (compared to blocks)!! :rofl: :rofl: Rides a bit nicer too, IMO. Threw some poly bushings in too and they are great. Quote Link to comment
reelmagic Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice Truck!! I'm really digging the color. I've got an 85 KC I am working on too. I've got a couple questions for you: What exhaust tip is that? What % tint do you have on the truck? If you don't mind telling us, what did the paint run you? Quote Link to comment
