I've seen thousands of hardbodies but I have never seen one like that. Ever in my life. Keep that thing beautiful. It's a unicorn

The factory duallys were extremely rare in the US. They are easier to find in other countries. Even box vans.

The 132hp four cylinder, when it came out was pretty much the top dog in the small truck 4 cylinder world.

I love the people who don't realize how tuff the hardbodys were made. They were very overbuildt for their time. The h233b is a beast of an axle.

I have a 98 Hardbody, I don't use it much as a "truck". I did a favor for my wife delivering pet food to the reservation. We overloaded the truck and I drove down the highway, no problems It just went. I didn't even notice a excessive loss of power from the weight. My Wife does not understand why I like my truck so much. It has everything I like, reliable, easy to work on and it's paid for.

Great, now I want a dually mini truck!!!!

Believe it or not, this video was not recommended to me. I simply searched "Nissan" and this was the 10th video down the list. Very cool truck.

I'm a Hardbody and Pathfinder crazed man so I love it

I love that they found a Nissan full float dual rear wheel axle. H233 I think.

they made dually hardbodys from the factory in the late 80s early 90s

I bought a brand new Nissan truck in 1990 -four-wheel-drive base for $8999 and drove it for two years and turned around and sold it for $9000. I just bought the wife a brand new Nissan frontier pro 4X -2020 model.

May she ride another half mil 👍

Those square body chevy dually fenders fit it really well 👍

I’m surprised that engine had enough power to turn the duallys

My k24 will tear the tires off that little truck. It's a torquey little motor. Go look at some of the race trucks built out of them

I loved 'all the torque' in my VG30 and VG33 v6s back in the day, but those KA24s seem to last better. Cool custom truck.

Wasn't expecting a 1 ton rear!

Nice ride! I loved my 95. Some kid fell asleep doing 70 mph and caused a multi vehicle crash and I was the last car hit. It got totaled. Insurance never even gave me chance to buy it back. My odometer quit at about 350 k. Odometer started working again after 3 yrs when I hit a bump. Replaced clutch at 187k. Never any problems. 4cyl 5spd as well.

I’ve been dreaming about doing this to my hardbody!!! Finally found someone who has completed it and it looks absolutely amazing!!

That is really a bass truck. No wonder it sat on the lot until the 93's were being sold

Never in my life I would see a dually Nissan hardbody! That’s amazing

First dually pickup I’ve ever seen finished. There were a handful of the dually trucks made as flatbeds and a bunch of guys on the old forums wanted to build one like this! This is awesome.

She's beautiful bro. Thank you for sharing. I am planning a build that is going to be a dually

the speedometer is an easy fix if your mechanically inclined which I think you are is a small plastic tube at the end of your speedometer cable coming from the transmission has a spring inside that pushes a small shaft into your cluster it wears out and breaks but it remains intact because its inside the cable housing so just find something that will slide around the plastic piece but thin enough fit into the housing so it can spin freely I used a piece of an old radio antenna lol it's been working for years they change to speed sensor in 94 I think and I'm most positive yours is still the cable speedometer type awesome d21 it looks great looks oem

Nice truck. One of my favorite hotwheels as a kid was a green Datsun 1970's dually. A friend of mine had a 1980's dually with a flat bed.

I had a neighbor that had one of these hard body duallys. I always thought it was pretty cool. He told me people came up to him all the time at gas stations and parking lots. He said most people would come up because they thought it was cool. The same people would also say it's cool but what the hell's the point of it. You could just get a single wheel F-150 GMC 1500 or Dodge 1500. Which is the exact reason why the so rare. Very popular overseas though where all the vehicles are small. In the US though they really wasn't a market for these little duallys. Because America has plenty of full size quarter ton trucks.

What?! This thing is awesome.

@@Jeo7140 Get you some water/weather proof crimp butt connectors. They are easy and will give you a more weather proof seal. Just use the crimp butt connectors like any other crimp connector and then you heat it up with a heat source (heat gun, etc.) which causes the plastic part of the crimp connector to seal around the wire making a weather proof connection. These are easy to find at auto parts stores, hardware/home centers, Harbor Freight, etc.

In Thailand it is common to make about a three ton truck by using a heavy srw axle out of a small truck installed in a hilux/ranger/dmax/navara etc.

Yes they did offer factory 1 ton DRW.

I think it needs vertical side pipes to complete the look. LOVE IT!!!

I don't think there's anyone watching this that didn't know before hitting play that those fenders were from a Chevy. My favorite part was the red door panel on the driver's side door.

No burnout?
