Found this on FB, what do you think; been sitting for a long time,  is it even worth the trouble?

What would you do first to get it running?

thanks,

Don't think this is a 720???

It's a 620 ,, but i would think if those carbs are actual Solex and still good ,, those and intake are worth close to  the $1200. they are asking .

 Oooo,, i just blew up pics of carbs,,, those are pretty nasty looking. 

 

   whole package with truck is probably worth asking though.   

 

disclaimer ,, i really don't like 620s

How much do you like 620's and how much work do you want to do to it?

A money pit.

It's an early 720 concept truck. Dash looks minty though and haven't seen a truck with all it's headlamp trim rings either.

I just want to clean it up, and get it running and replace the nasty interior:).

I need a truck to run around town and learn about the 620 or 720 whatever it is; does have a bunch of cool parts.

It's probably worth the money or maybe more, to part out.  Agree with Perkins, nothing but a money pit, if you try to get it back on the road.

It's consistent with being a '75 regular cab short wheelbase. Body looks good for a mid '70s. The 720 started in '1980. The '75 had the co-joined intake and exhaust so curious how the exhaust hole was sealed. I would pull those carbs off (pain in the ass complicated) and sell them to get some money back. '75s had front drum brakes so they will need attention.

 

$1,200 is ok if it runs

Do you think it is possible to find parts to restore the carbs, or is that just a dream?:)

thanks,

@topkart11 on Instagram. He'll buy the carbs from you. Probably for what you paid for the truck.

I've had my 85 for 29 years.I have spent a fortune on it.I will die with it.I am the type to spend and do it right the first time.When I bought it in 94,it was in great shape.Not long after,the carb went bad.I have almost replaced everything.I didn't know anything about Nissan's when I bought it.I paid 3500 back then for it.It had 108,000 miles on it.Now has 390,000 on it.Not the same engine or transmission.Better to find one in better shape.There's a lot of Datsun and Nissan trucks for sale in good shape.What ever you do,do not put a stock carb back on it.You will always have problems with it.It was not a well-thought  idea back in the day  how they made these carbs.They are junk.Even the Mechanics at the Nissan Dealership told me when  I asked them to rebuild my carb right after  I got it.They actually told me to get a Weber.So I did.My 720 is way better than new.

Well, thanks for all the input, but the guy sold the truck. Most likely was going to be a difficult project; with the dual old carbs and trying to get parts for them.

Will keep looking.
