Trail Hustler

[Pete Peterson]

Anyone out there have a trail Hustler? I’m trying to find out details on the backseat (mine’s missing) I want to make on and have it upholstered to match. I know they didn’t reinvent the wheel and probably modified a existing bench seat. I’m trying to figure out what it might have been.

Got any pictures?

Do you actually have a trail hustler?

 

Couldn't find to many pictures but did find that they are supposed to be only 100 made and pre dated the pathfinder...

 

Basically a 720 with a structural bed cap and a pass through... didnt see any back seat.....

Is this what you are talking about?

 

Bushmaster

The 620 was called L'il Hustler. Never heard of this is relation to the later 720.

This is what I found....

That is different from the Bushmaster as the Bushmaster has a rear seat and is a king cab customized.  I have seen the bushmaster in person never new of the 720 Trail Master.

Just found this forum and though I would chime in because I think I can help. I just sold my 84 Trail Hustler last year. Had it for many years. I also have detailed photos of the original back seat. It's weird shaped thing because the floorboard in the back is flat so your legs had a big knee support for comfort. it folded forward like a Jeep back seat for more  cargo room. The seat was missing from mine when I got it. I traced down the previous owner and he said the seat was gone when he got it to. A guy in I think VA was in contact with me a few years ago and he had the seat and sent me the seat photos. I have lots of pictures of the Trail Hustler and extensive knowledge since I restored mine and I had a 1986 720 King-Cab before that for many years. Can't figure out how to attach pics here so hit me up on email. tbashin@hotmail.com

Trail master? Also never heard of it. I imagine someone was copying the Bushmaster and it was a poor stopgap to compete with Toyota's innovative 4Runner that came out in '84. Actually, it does just look like a truck with the back cut out and a cap to cover it. As the cab and the box are separately mounted there's going to be flex between them. I can see why it wasn't popular. You would need a heater in the back for passengers and seat belts.... things the Pathfinder provided two years late to the show.  Nissan really dropped the ball on this.
