Pick n Pull


Melkor

Recommended Posts

So I'm likely heading down to a few Pick n Pulls next week, and wondered if I should be on the lookout for any parts in particular when it comes to an '86 720, or compatible 720 parts in general.

 

Other than the air conditioner, and manual locking hubs that is.

...Funnily enough mine already has that in a nice (if faded) blue colour, and it's the original one too.

 

Though if I spot another one I'll definitely take it if it's in a good enough condition, since the original one's glue/stitching is pretty worn down.

Tach, Clock, center console gauges, the glove box locking mechanism, little bits and bobs that are hard to come across. You never know when shit is gonna break. If the pick n pulls in Minnesota even had one 720 in their yard I would pick it clean.

Do an inventory search before you go. The Sacramento area pnp’s are pretty crazy, if it’s been on the yard more than a week or two, they’re usually completely stripped.

yup row52.com search under datsun pickup not under nissan pickup because those are all the D21's.

 

Check that daily and the second you see one get down there and get what you need will be gone within a month

 

I signed up for the emails so I get notification right when they get a 720  near my area :D

Ah, well that's good to know.

 

Unfortunate considering how far away I live, and how long they've been there, but good to know.

Mm, yeah looks like there's only three and a half(since one looks pretty picked over) down there that aren't the D21 model, and have been there since February.

 

...Guess I'll try my luck, but if it's as busy as suggested then I don't expect much.

 

 

Hopefully they've left the rear window locks alone, since the guy before me broke it off somehow, and the Nissan website wants like $40 for 'em.

 

Or the Exhaust Manifolds, but I'm betting those were one of the first things pulled off.

I've signed up using NISSAN.  I get mostly 720's but a D21 shows up once in a while.  If you only do DATSUN, you'll probably miss those 85 and 86 720's that don't have any DATSUN emblems or logos anywhere on them.  If you're needing a smooth side bed, then you'll definitely miss out.  Just another thought.
