question about an 85 720

[HBodyNissan88]

hello, im looking at buying an 85 nissan 720. it has 79,000 original miles, and no rust. interior mint. but, it has no power steering. is this a bad thing?

[smiley720]

sounds like a steal to me

[HBodyNissan88]

smiley720, you dont think lack of powersteering is not a big deal? ive never driven without it before so i dont know. thanks for your reply

[smiley720]

powerstearing on a light truck doesnt do much, on a fullsize ou can really feal the difference. You'll build up some muscles tho

[HBodyNissan88]

does your truck have it? or was lack of powersteering common for 86 and below?

[smiley720]

Mine does have p/s. But I have had several mazdas without it

mine does,,,but when it went out,,,it was rough starting off,,but regular driving its not bad...how much for it???

[loass720]

Dude, p/s is over rated for a small truck like this. besides its less to worry about when you lay it out!!!

i believe before they started puttin p/s on em they had better ratios that copensated for the feel but yeah as light as they are you'll never know.

how much and wheres the pics?:cool:

[p-dub]

no p/s on my 85 and to me, there would be no need for p/s on these trucks. but yea, post pics of this thing.

i live in hawaii, so the paint is a little faded. the hood is sun burned. there is actually a little bit of surface rust by one of the doors. interior is mint. the guy said he would throw in headers, and a weber for it. i will post pics as soon as i can. he is asking 2400.00. these trucks in hawaii are insanely popular so they tend to be more expensive than anywhere else in the U.S.

mine has p/s and lays frame lol

No its not a bad thing, with the mint and no rust with that low miles ( for the year of make) thats a good deal. Not unless you rather prefer pwr steering? Get the car, go to a jusk yard and pull a pwr steering assembly.
