datzenmike Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Should I keep it....or should I fix/detail and re-sell? Re-sell it for 3x as much and profit from this. 1 Quote Link to comment

harlow426@mail.com Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Looks pretty familiar to me. Nice score! Nice pair-o-trucks. Like the white center wheels with trim ring.My 1st 72o (86) was brown...my 'departed' 82 was brown...thus brownie #3. Thanks 2 Denmarkboy 4 posting pics 4 me. Truck NEEDS a bath. Was dark when I took pics. Won't take much 2 make it SHINE. 2 Quote Link to comment
720inOlyWa Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 We had a pumpkin colored 620 standard cab, which we dearly loved- except for that awful color. I’ve tried to see it as ‘period’, and I have seen some nice pumpkin 620s since, but I still don’t like that color much. But the truck itself was flat amazing. Have you ever had a vehicle where you loved everything about it, except the color? It is a difficult romance. Though it is just as common as the pumpkin color was, I actually like this cinnamon color just fine. Whew! 2 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Tachometer at b and r on 99. Clock too maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment
harlow426@mail.com Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Tachometer at b and r on 99. Clock too maybe. I went to BnR and way way back on the back fence I found an 85 4wd with LONG bed! Got the center console w/ gauges, tach, 2 relays from fuse block, fuse block cover, black interior door handle finger pockets(for my 8o) all 4 $20. Going back on sat and grabbing the grill for $20. Still lots of good parts on truck....only one other 720 in the lot and it is about gutted(82std). Denmarkboy has a clock 4 me. Found a good running 85' Z24 w/130k for $50!!!! picking up sat eve.....will give it a coat of VHT Chrysler red, gaskets, weber, non-clutch fan, cast valve cover, epoxy magnet to pan. Delux woodgrain dash pcs from the 'turd' will be installed when I do tach/clock. Also getting the tilt wheel from the 'turd' but the pw st and front swaybar are for my 80kc. Want 2 find tan plastic kick panels/and black for my 80kc. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Did you grab the resistor for the tach too? It's in the engine bay. You'll want that :) Glad to see someone get all these goodies.. I was thinking about pulling them to sell.. then I was like.. fuckit. I'll just post it on ratsun. 3 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I am seeing all these dark metallic brown trucks and just wondering if any one has the paint code for the color. Sweet trucks. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Oh by the way I totally disagree with Mike's statement, "Re-sell it for 3x as much and profit from this." Fix, own it , rock it! Enjoy the truck! Cheap to drive, easy to work on, cheap to insure and fun! 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 See Mikes post below: wherz do i look 4 the resistor? anybody have a pic? thanks for the tip!! wish I could buy the LONG bed and make a trailer..... have six different trailers now + my tow dolly i suppose I don 't need another trailer The harness is all there and already wired into the dash pod. just slip the tach in and go. You will need a 2.2K ohm dropping resistor in line. The factory wiring, again, had the plug already there but if no tach the plug in resister is deleted. You can get one from any '80s car with a tach like the ZX or S110, S12 200sx (probably others. On the 720 the plug will be wrapped in tape and appear as a bump on the harness somewhere between the ignition coils and the back of the driver's side headlights. The resister looks like this plugged in... 2 Quote Link to comment

Sweet trucks. yes....i'd like 2 know as well. if you are going to have some paint mixed let me know. maybe we can share the cost and both end up with some?? could use a pint or 2 for touch-up.... 1 Quote Link to comment
harlow426@msn.com Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 thanks 4 the info 4 resistor!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 All 720's I have owned and worked on had the resistor wired in. It is taped up in the harness around the firewall and master cylinder. Even if the truck did not come equipped with a tac from the factory it still had the resistor. 1 Quote Link to comment

Fix, own it , rock it! Enjoy the truck! Cheap to drive, easy to work on, cheap to insure and fun! truck has been granted 'immunity'. was bugging me using my 80 for 'truck' stuff. already put a few dings in it. i am going to make this truck as nice as it can B and treat it nicely. have a hard tonnno i'm going to install and I've been sitting on some good audio gear. also have a remote start setup, aftermarket cruise control, c.b, air horns, air-fuel mix gauge, H-3 headlights. Datsun/Nissan p/u's have treated me well for years....asking nothing but fuel/oil/love in return. I think trying to make a profit on this truck would 'taint' my car karma. Unless a catastrophe occurs I'M KEEPING IT!! maybe in the future i'll ka-turbo it if I find a suitable donor rig.....with a ka and 3.3 butt gears should do 140. 1 Quote Link to comment
