I’m trying to see if anyone knows where I might be able to get a phantom grille for an 1983 720 I hear it’s hard to find but there’s also the ones for the d21 hardbody and I wanted to know has anyone used it or attempted too and if it fits for a 720 how did they install it ? Thank you in advance for any info that is given 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 You need to go back to 1985 or find an old Mini Truck from that era. I can't see anyone making them today as there is no market for them. E bay may have someone selling their old one. A want ad? http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/9-body-and-interior/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc Look for an '85 4x4 grill and make it fit your '83 720. They are absolutely dead sexy! E bay has them in chrome for hundred bux... . 1 Quote Link to comment

kelowg Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Need.to talk to ol school minitruckers. Fb groups or 720 forums? U would need to measure your grill opening vs later model trucks. Likely have to cut one down to fit and have mounting brackets relocated. Hardest part is headlights,may have find way to push them back so grill doesnt stick out.

G-Duax Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 The common name was 'tube grill'. All they were was a bunch of steel tube welded together, and then chromed. Make one. PS, putting a bunch of steel tube in front of your head lights will definitely screw up how far you can see at night, and probably illegal. And most likely why no one makes them any longer, not to mention the fact that US manufacturers don't care to make stuff for old Datsuns. You want to 'buy' all your custom parts, buy a chevy. God I miss the '50s & '60s, where people actually made stuff them selves......... 1 Quote Link to comment
