jakecarteralaska Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hey guys, new to the site and new to Datsun. just got my first. 1981 720 diesel. Its pretty rough as in body work but engine is good and has 135xxx miles. I thought I'd start a post for anyone to follow along as I work on her. going to be a project, but that's what I wanted. Plans are to do a coilover suspension on it, fix the rust on the body, rework the interior (seats, steer wheel, gauges, stereo, floor and dash) new wheels, I'm gonna do a turbo build on the engine, stack for exhaust, and fab up my own "body kit" if you will. I will post pictures as I go so hope I have some people to share with :thumbup: :hyper: 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Let's see some pictures before you start tearing into it! Love the diesel 720's. Quote Link to comment
Gradyfest Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 A "stack" on a 720 drift diesel. Now that's something I haven't seen. What do they call it that you plan on doing..? Rolling coal!? Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 If that link doesn't work, Google search 720 diesel drift truck. It has a stack and a turbo. Pretty gnarly little truck Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 That truck was horrible, drifting is a tail out affair, not a smoke the tires and push the front wide. Hope Jake's build ends up way better. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Weld the diff and put 2" wide tires on it, done. 2 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 That truck could use some weight in the rear end, but it's a similar setup to what he's wanting to build. Just thought it could be a point of reference... 1 Quote Link to comment
jakecarteralaska Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 yea that's kinda a reference but I don't like flatbeds and it looks kinda rednecked haha. Im want a nice clean blacked out with maybe some red accents. I will try uploading images here in a sec Yea it's not letting me put a link in to pictures from photobucket. I don't know what's wrong. I'll try again in a little bit 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Try using Firefox or Chrome, IE Explorer after 10 does not work well with older forum software. Quote Link to comment
jakecarteralaska Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 hey ]2eDeYe, the picture in your signature, is that your truck? If so how much did you lower it and what size wheels an tires are those? I really like how that looks Quote Link to comment
