poor mans play truck

#1
back during the summer i bought a ragged out 1984 nissan 720 4x4, since ive had it a few months now and havn't gotten bored or decided to sell it i figure it deserves a build thread. I started out looking for an 86.5+ hardbody that i thought i would throw about a grand at and go wheelin but then i found the 720 on NC4x4 for $400. I decided that since i only had $400 in it i would try to build it as cheap a humanly possible, plan is get it running good, get some better tires on it, weld the rear end and ride! so finally heres the start of my uber cheap trail rig.

this is pretty much how it sits now minus the junk in the bed (made $22 on the scrap from it and the frontier) and the doors.

Ive tuned and cleaned the weber (32/36), made more room for the 33s (5 & 20lb sledge), cut out most of the exhaust, cranked the T-bars a bit and pulled the swaybar

heres my total so far.
truck- $400
oil change and brake fluid- $21
new battery- $55
more brake fuild- $5
front pass. brake hose- $16
total- $497

it run, drives, shifts and soon itll even stop haha!
