The '85 Nissan 720 Pick up.

[GnomadAK]

The first vehicle I purchased new was a Nissan (just renamed from Datsun) King Cab, the first year IIRC of the smooth sided bed without the tiedowns. 35 mpg highway, had the power I needed, and the kids could entertain each other by kicking at each other in the jump seats. I had to sell it during the Alaska depression of the late 80's, lost the job, no money for such fripperies as truck payments.

720's had torsion bar suspension. Very adjustable for weight and height. I had a 1983 1/2 model.
I would tend to go to a Nissan V6 for a change over. The original Z22 and Z24 engines had a lot of power thou.

Oh just putting it out there I am a Owner of a 720 commonly known as d20 or d21 pickup, I have the factory z-24 motor but I am in the process of installing a Nissan z32's DGETT V-6 twin turbo in my little truck I used to have a 1977 Datsun kingcab longbed pickup that i removed the dead 22r engine it had and threw in a 76 buick v6 otherwise known as a cosworth vega 6 cylinder in that truck and it worked well for shows and street strip application

A '77 King cab long bed? I've never seen that config. I had a '77 regular cab long bed. It was a ballsy little truck. Rust ate it away though. I could see the road going by through a rust hole in the cab floor. I wish I could go back in time and buy a new one.
