Just picked up my new 720 KingCab 4x4. Also, I'm a new member... Looking forward to getting this truck back in action. Does it look like stock ride height? Its the only one I've ever seen and I can't tell if it has been lifted or not.

That appears to have a 1-2 inch lift. Nice find!

Yeah about 2" of lift. What's wrong with it. Looks good.

Only thing mechanically wrong with it is the passenger side lock-out hub, and it's got quite a bit of surface rust on the roof. The bed and frame are rust free though!

Its a 4x4 so it'll definately be higher than the 2wd versions. but It does look slightly taller height than mine.

Welcome. What is preventing it from being in action? nm. Just one wheel hub? not much keeping it from fun.

appears about stock height to me as well. Maybe the torsion bars have been turned up a little in the front. What size tires are those? oversized tires will also give the illusion of a lift. Just take a look underneath and see if there are drop brackects for the torsion bars, an add a leaf in the back or longer shackles.

good looking truck, love the older ones with datsun badges

it does look like a slight body lift, check the spacers, mine was lifted by inserting cut rubber tires, but it worked. IT does look like the torsion bars were tweakednice find...how much did that bad boy set you back?

I saw that truck on the ATL craigslist. Nice find. Weird seeing a Datsun with the Nissan bed on it.

Post pictures of the Turbo II please! (I've had three)
