datzenmike Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 That's an '85 grill. Check door jam build date July '84 and on is an '85 model year. Someone may have swapped it from a later truck. That grill was used on the March '85 and up build date 4x4. It's my favorite grill for the 720. The '83 and up 2wd bumper is the same as the 4x4, just chromed. All fenders all years are the same. Rad supports differ but '83 and up are same. There were 4 distinct hood styles though they should interchange. '83/'84 are same. '85/'86 are the same. The fender corner clearance lights are same from Jan. '83 build dates and up but 2wd are chrome and 4x4 are black https://ratsun.net/classifieds/category/9-datsun-parts/ 1 Quote Link to comment
gunsmith Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Thank you! I really appreciate the information! It's an '84, the grill probably was changed sometime during its long life. Hoping to keep it going. I do love this little truck! 1 Quote Link to comment

NC85ST Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Where in NC? I live east of Asheville. That truck is not rusty enough to be near the mountains. Looks pretty solid. I understand why you want to get it going again. 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I would try to pull the parts off and straighten them and see if goes back maybe good enough. take hood off and straight on ground and pound it out. 1 Quote Link to comment

buckeyenut Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 I found some parts for my 84 on carparts.com And scavenge every wrecking yard you can. 1 Quote Link to comment
powderfinger Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Depending on where you are in NC, this truck is listed on Facebook Marketplace in Lynchburg, VA for $700. The add says it needs ignition and clutch cable. Could probably get it for cheaper than that and have plenty of spare parts. 1 Quote Link to comment
