WOW! That truck looks amazingly clean! Congratulations on the find, you'll love it! Engine/chassis/drivetrain parts aren't too hard to get, but body and interior parts can only be had from junk yards. The Nissan dealer still carries a surprising amount of parts even for the diesel. And, you can still get parts for the SD22 from the company that still builds them (Jesco). They're great little trucks! Mine has over 300k on it now, doesn't burn any oil between changes, and gets 25+ MPG.

This. I bought my '82 with similar symptoms as the OP's. Ran great in town with good power, but would bog down badly at anything over 40 MPH or so. Hills on the highway would take me from about 70 MPH to 40 MPH in short order. I knew it was fuel-related when I got the truck, but it took me a little while to diagnose. The previous owner had taken the truck to Firestone to have it serviced, and they changed the fuel filters. BUT, they installed an incorrect in-line filter on the firewall. These in-line filters are made for gasoline engines (paper filter element) and do not allow quite enough steady fuel pressure for the diesel. Got the new (correct) primary (firewall) filter from Nissan, and it drives like a completely different truck. Don't know if this is your problem, but hopefully it helps. I seriously doubt it's the injector pump, though. If not a filter problem, then a fuel line problem is possible.

Best price shipped to 76017?

Did you ever receive these wheels? I purchased a set of them too for my 720 and after much hassle (long story, but the seller is local and I went to pick them up - they weren't there), the seller just refunded my PayPal and said he "lost them". I really dig these wheels though, especially for the price.
