1983 Datsun 720 4x4

[Foster Huntington]

Here are some updates on the truck. Had some bilstiens shocks put on, the wheels repainted white and bfg km2's put on. The jeep bumpers fit great except for the high beams being partially covered by the vertical bars. The turn single lights were welded to the bottom with a simple bracket and rattled canned with rustolium to match. Here are some photos

Here are some more photos. Pretty much all done except I need to install the back up lights

I love keeping the 80s feel.

Looks great! A little Meguiars Gold Class Trim Detailer would really help with those flares.

Dang dude, it's so clean with that new bumper. Definitely screams 80s.

Love it; the truck looks great and I agree just screams 1984. Too Cool!

Repainted rims and tire combo turned out great! Well done.

Cheers

thanks guys. im really pumped on it. I ended up getting a good deal on a motor, a z24 for 80k miles on it and perfect compression to have when the current one craps out. The next step is to build a lumper rack/somthing i could rig a rooftop tent to.

Personally, I'd like it if the tubes wrapped around the front of the body to the wheel wells and same with the rear bumper. It seems like it's too short and doesn't look right, but that's just me.

Overall, the truck is coming along nicely. Once you get that lumber rack/rtt this thing will look great. Keep that 80's theme going.

I installed the back up lights this afternoon. Next step is working on the lumber rack/roof top tent rack.

Not sure if it has been said or asked already, but is it street legal yet? or going to be?
