Just bought a 1984 720 pickup that needs attention. Any one out there in UK know of any good sources for parts?

Ask him I am sure he can direct you in the right direction.
Seems to deal entirely in Datsuns.

Update
Water pump and clutch slave cylinder changed. Engine sweet as nut. Light bulbs changed. Trying to get some cheap Recarro race seats to fit. Got some wheels and off road tyres from a nissan patrol. The tub sides are fairly decent but the bed floor is rusted through so a nice piece of checker plate is going in there. Still unsure about paint. May turn out to be NATO camoflague!

Very nice. What do the wheels look like?

Re: FN-QR (breadbox)
I think the link might work below. If not let me know how to upload pictures. Wheels are off a Nissan patrol blasted and repainted running Dunlop rubber.
Engine at moment is stock z22. We have to get the truck through Ministry inspection before I can get it on road. If all goes well then perhaps uprate the powerplant.

Re: FN-QR (mushroommick)
Z22s are not popular in the Caribbean, and the guys in the states don't prefer it, but its good to hear it runs sweet. I was looking for one to swap but found a Z20 instead. Hope you get through the ministry. I hear they are real tough.
Re: FN-QR (flinterman2000)
How much fun did you have blasting the rims, it took me close to 16 hours to do mine. The crappy condition of the blater I used helped with making it take longer, plus they were rusty chrome when I started. Hope it passed the inspection.
