I've been scouring the internet for days now looking for a Datsun 720 or King Cab (preferred). I have a 720, but it's in rough shape, and I don't have the time or money to completely restore it. It's the first vehicle I've ever paid completely, so if I get a new one, I want to keep the engine transmission so a shell is all that's needed. Any help guys? And I can offer the shell of mine to anyone who is looking for a project vehicle if anyone is interested

Where are you located? We may have a member nearby who can help you out. Otherwise, junkyards and PnPs are your best option for clean sheetmetal. That and snoop in backyards and score a rust-free one.

I'm in Mississippi, located in the Golden Triangle area. I've seen a few in town, (about 3) but none who are selling theirs

Also, I know it'll sound childish, but this was the first truck I've ever paid off fully and was able to call mine. It's been lit on fire, and it's hit a tree. And it still runs. I've become very attached to it over the past 5 years that I've owned it.

I know recently on Ebay a seller out of Arizona or New Mexico had a cab and box strapped together on a pallet ready to ship. Price seemed reasonable, but I can't find the listing at the moment. I'll keep an eye out, and it may not hurt to check out your local salvage yards.

I've been out of touch on this site for a while, and saw you were looking for a truck or parts. I am selling my truck...which I dearly love. It is a 85 4X4 King cab with lots of extras. If you e-mail me I will send pics and more info.
