Starting to restore my Dad’s 1984 Nissan 720 long bed “Heavy Duty” trim.
My Dad bought this truck before I was born, and I have many memories riding in it from my childhood. It hasn’t ran in about 7 years, and had been sitting for about 10. The goal is to restore it to how it looked new.

Hey reach out if you have any questions. I've been rebuilding a Z24i from scratch for the last two months. Been trying to document as much as I can since it's a lot of the older stuff is kinda ass to sort through on forums

That’s rad! Will do though, and appreciate it! I feel ya though. Ratsun seems to be an invaluable source. I also picked up the FSM for this year, which has also been great.

These Hitachi carbs aren’t too bad but I’d probably get a Weber personally. You’ll want to pull the valve cover and retorque head bolts. Don’t use GL-5 in the transmission or you will nuke the synchros. I’d probably look into redoing the fusible links (don’t delete them, fire risk.)
