I just inherited a 1983 datsun 720 from my father who passed away
It has 66k original miles and is well taken care of
Are these trucks any good
Also what preventive maintenance should I do on a vehicle this old?
Seafoam?
Switch to synthetic?

No, don't fuck around with it. Continue the regular maintenance program. Rag on it every now and then.

reliable as heck. of course a small truch can't haul like a big truck but they last well in use they're designed for.
LS swap it
First thing you need to do is undercoat the sucker.

Seriously, you just got handed a piece of history. Learn to keep the carb in check, run non ethanol fuel if possible, continue the exact maintenance your dad did, make sure to drive it at least once a week.
And for God sakes man, keep it and love it. I'm incredibly jealous, and you literally will not find one like it. It's gonna have that smell, that feel, it's a huge part of your dad man. That's the best part, it's a literal living memory capsule.
Take drives "with Dad" to nowhere particular on occasion, you will love the truck.
Pic unrelated, 83 Toyota I missed out on..
Thanks for the tips and recommendations
I will try to keep this car forever as it is hard to find a clean example of one .
>he fell for the synthetic is bad meme
I don't want any new leaks to form since I'm pretty sure this car has only ran on conventional its entire life
Love it and keep Veeky Forums updated on it
