Hey there 720 enthusiasts and owners! haha cheesy intro I know
Well i've decided to create a build thread for my truck nicknamed "The Datsun" so that yall can see how far i've come from when I got it, to keeping up on what all i've done to it so far. Ya I know i've told you all most of this stuff on my first post but I figured, what the hell, its good to hear in detail what has been done to it.
When I first got it it looked like s*** and was bone stock with some issues:
-Carpet was neglected
-Door panels were in bad shape
-Dash was cracked all over
-All the plastic panels were faded and ugly lookin
-Seats were nothing but springs
-Needed new plugs, wires, air filter, oil filter, coils, distributor cap and rotor
-Needed new clutch fan
-Header bolts needed replaced and rethreaded
-Carrier bearing was shot
-U-joint was really bad
-Drivers side fender wrecked along with a big gash down the side and a wrinkled bed side
-Had really huge ugly mirrors
So thats what was all wrong with it, when I got it I:
-Replaced carrier bearing and u-joint
-Got the header bolts replaced
-New air filter
-New carpet
-New dash
-New seats (out of a Bronco II)
-Painted all the plastics on the inside
-New mirrors (off a mid-70's camaro)
-Put a custom steering wheel on
-Tinted the windows
-Put on a bug shield
-Put on a spoiler
-Switched the rims and tires with some stock chrome Dodge Ram 50 rims
-Put in some new sun visors
-Installed a $99 Kenwood stereo with 2 4" Pioneers in the kick panels and 2 6x9 stock Chevy speakers in speaker boxes in the rear between the rear seats
-Replaced interior door handles with ones out of my old Dodge Ram 50
I've got some great ideas for this truck to make it all cool like haha now time for the pics!
How it looked when I first got it. Pics are in chronological order showing what all i've done
