Akaric2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I am new to Nissan Forums. This is my second Nissan Truck but my first D21 pickup. I truly enjoy this truck and picked it up for 600 bucks with new motor and trans from a former Paint Contractor. His business was going down so he wanted to sell his oldest truck. It has paint stains all around the truck which I am trying to remove. Thanks to the weather I have stopped on the inside but have removed what I could on the outside. He has also given me 2 Bed Caps ( 1 Silver and 1 black Leer Caps). Its a 1987 King Cab 4x4 D21 (V6) 53k miles on motor and 200k on frame. Everything works and had been converted to R134a AC which will be removed since it will never need it. The only thing that confuses me is that its a 3 speed trans which I never knew existed or I was BS'ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamzan Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Legos on a hardbody, cool. Was that an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Legos on a hardbody, cool. Was that an option? Yes. Similar to the models on the Pathy's of that generation, many of the SE's (4x4) came with Legos. Akaric2007; Please ignore much of what redfinder says....he is sort of like our village idiot here in the world of NPORA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Funny man simon. One thing you shouldn't ignore from me is check your frame for rust around the rear wheels, My first truck rotted out real bad, its a common problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 hello and welcome from the west coast (tho i was born in NJ) nice find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaric2007 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 check your frame for rust around the rear wheels, My first truck rotted out real bad, its a common problem. The truck has one serious rust spot over the front fender flare and a little rusty looking front bumper.The under side of the truck is black cause the former owner had it undercoated so its brown from dirt and now with new mud that I put on it but thats it. My biggest concern was the 4x4 action since alot of people like to leave it in 4x4 for and go over 50. I also stabbed the hell out of the frame to make sure no rust. Now my other Nissan Pathfinder which is a 95 has some serious rust in the frame over the rear wheels but I really dont know what to do with her. I have given the rust treatments to stop or slow down the rust progression but it seems as if its failing. Its a super clean ,super quiet truck and I dont want to sell it but I might have to junk it. I will take pictures when the snow stops here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akaric2007 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 here are the pictures of all my trucks. The black one is just a parts truck but runs fine except for the missing rear glass and grill. The green one is my wife's truck now since I got the D21 but the green one is starting to have trans problem with it going in reverse, so that black one's trans will be placed in the green one sooner or later. My d21 has fresh mud and I put one of the caps on since it will snow again and thats my flatbed parked in the background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
