Hey all, I'm new here and my quest for a second truck has brought me to shop for a Nissan 720. I live in a mountainous area and find myself very frequently in the hills shuttling for mountain biking, skiing, and shooting and my 2WD Tacoma although it has been an amazing work commuter isn't cutting it. Would you mind taking a look at this truck and telling me if you think its a good buy? I know the things to look for are water damage around the windows and in the carpet, transfer case noise, and non working electrical gauges but can you all think of anything else?


Thanks!
Matt

Welcome to NICO! I loved my 720s when I owned them. I had two, a 1981 King Cab and a 1984 Dually Heavy Duty. You might want to double check your link though, I can't seem to get it to work. Can't wait to check it out!

Damn that's clean. I would ask for frame pictures to assess any rust issues that may be hiding. Then I would run a vehicle history report. That's a super clean model! He might take $2800??? Then again finding a 720 in any condition is very rare.
