greengoon Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Love the 720, Mark. I have always liked these, especially the king cabs! What a great daily driver. I'll keep an eye out for some Ronals with Mercedes emblems. Oh, and by the way I have Datsun emblems on my '99 Quest :lol: Quote Link to comment

I remember thats how all the nissan mini trucks looked. We are still meeting at mcdonalds at 700? Great job on nissan Quote Link to comment
Dat620guy Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 ya its ok...lol...I dig it I had a 720 back in the day. standard cab I would love to get a xcab. Hard to find in decent shape. Looks like you got a nice driver there.All you got to do is put a sliding rag in the cab, and drive the hell out of it. You should polish up the ST rims and put those on, that would be late 80s for ya... So are you ready to sell me the D21..its all lonely in the garage there....!!! I will even throw in my burgandy old school 620 in the deal... I really like those rims. What brand are they? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Heres the new goodies......... I test fitted the wheel & the adapter is too big. Thats ok i think i can fab one up. Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Man I gotta spend some time down in Cali and get some off this sweet stuff before PCD snags it all :) Great build. Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 TY Nissan boy. You gotta hit up the thrift stores & swap meets. I find all of my stuff at places like that for cheap. Ok in 3 hours today i was able to clean,sand, paint & clear coat the steering wheel & Wink mirror. I used the ST hub that was in my 620 Also put in the dash cover... Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 No real pic worty upgrades yet. This wekk ill re-spray the hood & cowl. I "may" do a rising sun design for now. Also been trying to seal up a leak, the PS carpet by the kick panel gets wet when it rains. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 No real pic worty upgrades yet. This wekk ill re-spray the hood & cowl. I "may" do a rising sun design for now. Also been trying to seal up a leak, the PS carpet by the kick panel gets wet when it rains. mine too, dunno where its coming from. new windshield and seal, methinks its coming from hood hinge, or maybe the windshield wipers, i think the rubber bushing may be worn out/shrunk and water is leaking in thru there. if you find out where yours is coming from let me know, i haven't cared enough to look for mine as my floorboards already got a hole and leaks the water back out :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I removed the cowl & the plastic parts that direct water runoff & on the PS theres a square "tower" & if you look down inside it, theres the "flap" that lets fresh air in from the outside. I suspect it's leaking in from the base of that "tower" & or from the flap itself. I plan to run a thick bead of silicone alog the base of that part & see if it stops. Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have that same problem with the leak on the passenger side.... I suspect the windshield gasket (lower corner). Quote Link to comment
84nissan720 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 holy shit i have the same leak in passenger side to!!!!!!!! i silicone to but still leaks Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Came up with a design for the hood. Just a quickie seeing as id like to buy a new hood down the road... & i painted the cowl....... Next step is to paint the back rims..then who knows whats next :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted April 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Got started on 1 of the ST rims today & wow what a mess! They all have a layer of grease front & back. I used a scotchbrite pad & degreaser to get them a little cleaner. Did both sides 4 times too........ next is to use the Dremel to get in the tight spots & then use paint remover to strip the clearcoat. Also need the baloon tires removed to make the job easier........sawzall here we come... :hyper: Quote Link to comment
