Hi Glen!
Great pic!
I'm finding that parts are harder to find compared to the 88 Toyota "Ol Lucky"

More pre paint pictures guys:
(PS: YES; I want a Warlock so badly)

So:
The restoration continues....
After my first "Japanese truck resto" on my dearly loved "Old Lucky" 1988 Toyota pickup I decided to do a 1986 Nissan 720 King Cab "Sport Truck"

As you can see, progress is visible.
BUT: I found out that "parts" for these early Nissans are hard to find!
Unlike the 88 Toyota
Reason?
1983 through 1986.5 Nissan made the "Slant Nose" 720 Pickup.
1986.5 and later was the Nissan D21

Well: here are some more pics:

I just ordered a 4 panel sliding rear window from C.R. Laurence
Also, soon to arrive a new front bumper
Rear bumper was all twisted up, heavily damaged so I installed a new "FEY" chrome bumper.
The front is all Black
Now, looking for the large decal that was on the left and right side of the bed that signified "Sport Truck"
 
What's parked next to it? Looks like a F-body and I spied a hood tach so I am thinking Poncho.
 
Now you need an Isuzu pickup to complete the trifecta of the big 3 import trucks!
 
Ha Ha!
Yeah, huh?
I'm searching for a "Reputable" Upholstery shop in my Local area
I usually go to Lancaster CA (40 miles away) but he is so darn pricey, so now I'm looking at Bakersfield area (90 miles away)
