1985 Nissan 720 Pickup King Kab ST Nap Z from North America

Summary:

Best truck I've ever owned

Faults:

New alternator, EGR controller valve, muffler & a starter. That's about all this truck has ever needed, except tires, oil etc. I'm replacing an 8 year old battery on it today.

General Comments:

Most reliable truck (or car) I have ever owned. It's always starts and runs, feels like it did when I bought it new 16 years ago.

I just had it repainted same color at Maaco and had the two seats re-upholstered. People can't believe how great it looks. It will keep me from replacing it. I may never sell this truck. No body damage, excellent interior condition.

I've had my Nissan 720 King Cab ST for about 1 1/2 years and I must say it's the best little truck I've ever driven. Previously I owned a 1982 Chevette Scooter by Chevy, great little car, but too much to keep up. Anyway so far there are 177k miles on my baby and still running. All I've had to replace is my U-joint and that was cause going from stick all my life to auto on the floor isn't good. (blond) I would recommend that anyone who wants a truck that will last forever should get one. As long as you keep up with the maintnance you'll be fine. I agree with my uncle, Nissan's never die, literally.

I personally have a 720 S/T that has 271xxx miles on it. I'm the same as you, wouldn't take anything for mine. They don't build em like that anymore. Feel free to contact anytime. mcmahan.richard@yahoo.com. I'm in Tennessee.

NOTHING!!!!! I've just made needed repairs (ie. filters, brakes, belts etc.)
