The original Yee Hawl video was the first time I entered the Puddin' zone. Wasn't sure what I was watching, but couldn't look away, and quickly became a regular viewer. Thanks for the uniquely awesome content!
1986.5 was the first year of the hardbody. I had the 2WD long bed XE version, and it had a "heavy duty" decal on the tailgate. It was a 3.0L V6 with manual tranny. Bought it from a coworker in 1997. One of my friends came over on a Saturday, and we lowered it. Cranked the torsion bars down, removed the bump stops in the front. Pulled a leaf, 4 inches of block, and a set of air shocks in the rear. Then i put a set of chrome pathfinder's on it. What did we do that night? Went cruising, of course! LOL! Dang, i miss that truck. That longbed looked sweet.
Happy Veteran’s Day Puddin thank you for your service
I love my 97 Splash Ranger but get nostalgic for my original 82 Courier long bed when I see your box truck menagerie.
Hint from Michigan: you could run 2 heaters it you put them together on the hump. Use 2 of the 4 screw holes for each. I believe I made the fan run backwards on the one facing reverse...can't swear to it but it was warm enough the windows didn't freeze up and, most important, my mother was toasty on ski/snowboard trips.
I do remember that I used flush tees to run the cores in series.
That long bed ruined me for life.
I like the Yee Hawl without the beauty rings. Can’t wait to see the entire Puddin fleet all at the new location.
Indeed
I have to agree the rings add a little too much
I like them with beauty rings but without center caps
Yuppers. Ole slick be your ticket. And Hep ya when ya need that third hand. And visa virsa. Looking forward to seeing slicks projects too. 😊👍✌🏻
You expect one person to keep up with those projects?! Don't burn out on us Mr. Pudding 🍮
He has enough projects to us entertained for years
2nd that motion
@@bryankerckhove9501 but it’s very easy to get burnt out
I agree but when Your doing what You love doing it is a bit different. The thing I think to worry about most is the editing and hopefully soon enough Puddin can bring Someone on to do some of that for Him. 😁👌
My 2 cents: No beauty rings are better and don’t sweat the extra white wheels. They will yellow over time.
@8:00min; In my opinion, the 3 "weights" on the drums are to avoid resonance frequencies. two shoes (2 points of contact), and 3 weights/asperities, or whatever... 2 vs 3... the best recipe for never falling on resonance (brake noise)...
Always nice to watch your vids.
Love the rims without the beauty rings. They look great on the old YeeHawl. It's great to see the progress on the new place and seeing the trucks together.
I love that delivery wagon. The travelogue is pretty dope as well. I would drive these daily.
The 18’s look good, but I think they’d be even better in orange. However, I vote for the smaller orange steelies she originally had. She was already perfect before
I guess that’s just life. It’s fun to watch the show that you have a lot of things on your plate. Enjoy doing what you like putting good stuff out for people to watch that’s why you have a lot of people watching you
I love the look of the 18 on the ol Yee Hawl and without the beauty rings was the right way to go as well. Tulsa, Ok here and your channel is by far my absolute favorite channel on the hole UA-camr
The technical name for the hard body is called d21. They come with a 2.4 l 4 cylinder (KA24) and a 3.0 l V6 (VG30) they made them from 1986 to 1997. You should really get one they are actually really fun and reliable trucks I miss mine.
Hope you’re having a good Veterans Day. Thank you for your service!
Looks great!!! My boy and I make sure to watch both channels every week.
I REALLY like the bigger wheels without the rings, Puddin. My personal belief is that if you go above 18" they start looking a little silly, with rubber band tires. But 18 works there.
I dig the new rims. They match the Speed holes in the bumper. When you pulled it into the garage they glowed in the dark!
Puddin I can be having bad day! But then I start watch ur videos makes tht bad day go away! Your a positive human being and world needs more people like you!!
I love the 18" rims & tires on the YeeHawl , they look like they are factory on their with the front bumper it all blends together. I would love to see the whole fleet at your new location all in an angle in a line . But the YEEHAWL will always be the best mini box truck you have because that's the OG of the fleet. God Bless you and your family. Keep up the great work on both channels. I love your old international trucks to. 💯👍👍🙏🙏
Thank you for your service Puddin! God bless to you and the family as well!
This episode goes down as Pure Puddin. Wheels are Outstanding!
This is realistically in line with most of us, several projects infinitely in progress. Keep on keeping it real 🤘
I think that white on the yeehawl is fords" Wimbledon White"-used from the early 60's to the 80's It has a little cream color in it.
Yee Hawl would look good with some orange cab clearance lights. Like a big rig
Those steelies without the beauty rings look awesome,great video Puddin keep them coming.......................................................Fort Worth,Tx
Yessir yessir, 5 o'clock in the morning in Australia and im getting my weekly dose of 2 puddin videos... YOU DAMN RIGHT BUDDY!! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Yessir watchn the ole puddn from the down under at 5:00 is da best
@@cammos best way to wake up in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️🙏🏽
And I DID get a good laugh, actually three. So, mission accomplished, sir!
Just wanted to say thank you for your service and hope you and the family have a great veterans day.
Same here. He seems like an excellent husband and father. He's dam sure one of the best make do mf I've ever watched. I've watched every video he has. I don't think he will burn out. He does this because he loves it.. GG eat her done puddin
What is his other website. He always says it so fast lol
Digging the Yee Haul with the big wheels. I like em all, but that's definitely a cool look.
Puddin gets a haircut, DatsunKing gets shoes, and all the double entendres go flying. Hot damn, it's another good one!!
I think it’s suddenly a time machine.. love it !
Since you frequently do walk-arounds in salvage yards, here's an idea for a fuel tank for the Yee Hawl. See if you can find a LPG tank that is past it's best-before date. Purge it and add a filler spout to the top as it lays on its side and a fuel outlet on the end near the bottom. They usually have a bracket to hold the tank in place so grab that, as well. Problem solved. 👍😁
Like the 18s! For Me, I like the Cap and Beauty Rings, just seems to look more Finished! But, it's Yours and Each to their own! lol
I know it's not going to happen, but I would love to see the 18s on the Datsun. 100% agree that "aged" paint would complete the look. But, they do look awesome on the Yee Haul.
I knew some one else had to be thinkin it… I came here to post the same damn thing. The 18’s would look killer on the Datsun!
I think the Datsun could tuck the 18's
They are brack drums, it does not matter whether they are balanced or not. I have seen very few, like maybe 6 out of 1000 drums that were actually balanced. You'll be fine. That truck build awesome. Drive and enjoy.
You need to match the uhaul box trailer with the YeeHawl or Fab Shop Truck! It would look awesome!
I'm a no beauty rings fan, but I just noticed the speed-hole wheels match the speed-hole front bumper, sneaky!
We love you Puddin'. The new wheels blend in with the bumper. Now we need to see the Yee Hawl pulling your new trailer. ❤️
Here in Australia ,late 70s there was the 720 2x4 and 4x4 ,then they came out with the Navara . 720 had 2.5lt diesel and think 2.4 petrol . The navara had a 2.7 diesel 2.4 petrol and a v6 . the later had all kinds of engine up to current 3.0 lt and 2.8 diesel dont touch them
I wasn't a fan of small trucks before I found your channel and now I am. It's always great to a veteran use what he learned in the military and use it in the real world. Can't wait for more videos
I like it either way you do you.
back North West California decades ago little Datsuns were kings of the twisty narrow coastal mountain back roads. parts were cheap, easy to wrench on and modify so it'd flat scramble. V6 Vega wagon was another common+fun build.
Watching videos like this is like stopping over at a friends garage for a quick beer and heading home. Thanks for letting me stop by.
Im digging the 18s on the courier for sure ! Little different look but I like them .
Also .... any luck on a b1600,b2000 or a new mazda tank fitting the courier . Also maybe can find a guy that is gonna run a fuel cell in a first gen or second gen courier that maybe willing to part with their tank .
I'm loving the white wheels and chrome center cap. That's looks so dang good.
The " hardbody" D21 was made from 1986- 1997 . It came with the ka24e , 2.4 L. Or the w30 v6 . I have a 1996 that we bought new . It now has 340,000 original miles . Only did the first clutch assembly last year . It's had 5new timing chain assemblies. Like your channels.
Oh yeah , we're in S. E. Kansas !
Just adding one detail I found on the history of the truck. The first year they were in the process of converting from Datsun to Nissan so the first year hardbody might also see the name Nissan 720. the 720 was the previous truck that datsun made sometimes called a datsun nissan 720.
don't forget the venerable NAPZ 2.4L with TBI lol
@jamal chaw I successfully drifted a D21 short box with a 2.4i and 4spd for a few seasons. Momentum was my friend lol
^ yep. Last year of the Datsun/Nissan 720 pickup was 1985
I think those wheels look great as it sits! Glad to see my 2 favorite box trucks rolling again
Have you thought about painting the back bumper on the Yee-Hawl white to match the white rims and white front bumper?
The official code for the hard body was D21. I believe they started making them in 1986. They never made them with a V6. Glad ya got them Riggs running and moving again. The eye hawk looks sexy with them wheels, and leave the beauty rings off.
The larger rims look great 👍
When you pulled in the garage I made the same face you did when you were banging gears!
You're the best! Haven't skipped a video ever since I saw you salvaging that little green Datsun that was sold to the young teenage gal and her dad. Keep up the great job! JW
Do you know the name of their channel? I’d like to see the progress on it
@@keithharden7844 I did save it in my favorites and I looked about 5 months ago for progress and he was ordering I think new floor panels for the cab. That all I can remember. I'll forward it to you if I find it in my favorites that I subsided to
@@micartecca Thanks
@@keithharden7844 I found it. It's Quincy Squid Garage - title is Sea cadet teenage girl gets first car
@@micartecca Thanks
I’ve already bought 8 T-shirts buddy I’m gonna buy more I’m waiting for the half hall shirt to come out
Those are all some fine looking rigs! Love the old mini trucks 🚚 🛻 👌 😀
Since your ditching the beauty rings what if you painted them Yee-Hawl Orange and tried them. Just a shot in the dark. May look like a clown car and then again may break up the different whites. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the great content as usual.
Also I have had some success with boiled linseed oils to take the stark glare down a bit on new white finishes. It takes a few coats and some heat of friction, but with a bit of effort, it works.
Plus... you can stop when you get to the correct tone. 🙂
first year of the 810 was 1986 1/2, i believe. Had the nap Z 2.4 liter 4 cylinder. 8 spark plugs and damn near bullet proof
I would love to see you start working on the international truck it would be a nice change from the box trucks for a little while , don’t get me wrong , I love the box trucks . But something different is always nice !! Thanks for another brother !!
Just make the first B100 box truck
The joys of owning older cars and trucks they always need something ! enjoy them all
*I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.,.*
How can I reach out to Mr Charles? I urgently need his management on my INVESTMENTS !
@Chase THANKS A LOT I HAVE CONTACTED HIM NOW AND HE RESPONDED I SEE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE MY FINANCIAL SITUATION ☺️.
This is really helpful for my situation I think for people to talk all this good about him he must be an expert,
I really like the big wheels as it gives it a big rig look it deserves. That thing could out haul many of the semi's roaming around the highways
I had a 1990 Nissan Hardbody pickup. Mine was a 5-speed manual, with a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder motor. The front end had torsion bar suspension, and the rear was on leaf springs. It was a great truck.
I like the big wheels without the beauty rings, but the bright white is what’s throwing it off. Get them dirty or something so they match the cab and It’ll look sweet. Maybe put a slight patina paint on them
If you find a 4th uhaul, I would love to see you chop the box even with the top of the cab. I think that would look bad ass!!! And it would give you more time with your TIG which you always say you need. 2 stones with one bird.
I love your content. Keep up the good work. I hope the best for you and yours. I look forward to watching your content for years to come and thank you for your service.
Puddin happy Veterans Day Thank you for your service🇺🇸
Diggin the wheels Puddin! Mostly just enjoy the ingenuity you put into the box truck Mafia. Keep up the awesome content. Totally enjoy the laughs and the content. Keep On Keeping On Brother Puddin!!! Yeehawwww!!! 🤣😂😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hot damn them wheels look good. I would love to see the box dropped a bit. Yea you gave me a laugh as always and some great ideas for Steelies on my van. Keep em comin bud. Slick 50 we love you thanks for helpin our buddy.
1986 1/2 thru 1997.
2.4l 4cyl- 86-1/2-89 z-24 8 valve, dual plug per cylinder.(Naps or Nissan anti pollution system).
1990- 97 Ka24.. ( more powerful 12 valve as well as direct port injection).
3.0l v6 same engine, but improved from throttle body to port injection starting in 1990.
Loved the hardbody!
Owned several and wish I still had at least 1 of them!
Great trucks.
:-)
All I know on the hard bodies: They were designed in California ( that's what I heard years ago) and engine was a 2.4 or called the Z24. And I belive they had 8 spark plugs if I remember from my machine shop days years ago. And I like the yee without the beauty rings personally. Looks like rubber bands without the bling bling and it will make a homies arm swing swing 😎👍
Good looks! but I think the new rims would be even better orange
That's a good looking box truck with them 18s but that Datson king delivery truck is my favorite
Yep, no beauty ring for me puddin 👍😎 that yee hawl looks great with those rims
Love the bigger wheels! The Datsun on those big rims laid out!!!!!
That white color was called Wimbledon White I don't know if you can still get it or not. As a 12-year employee of U-Haul I may have driven those mini Movers at some point. Even if it was just to park them. But but after they took them out of the rental market I had one assigned to me at my Center.
I'm diggin' the rims without the beauty rings, looks sharp !
Beauty ring with _no_ center caps! 😁
Those steelies look pretty sweet on the Yee Hawl.
New wheels look great! No beauty ring looks best!
Yes sirreeee....awesome as always! Love the old Box Truck Mafia....
And, I salute you and thank you for your service to our country. Happy Veteran's Day!!!
I'm not usually into fancy rims, but I do like the larger wheels on the Yee-HAWL! I agree that they'd better it they were more cream and less white, but they still look damn good!
Those 18 sure looks good on the Yeehaw and the Datsun king looks good to love that air ride and that interior..don’t forget the sausage wagon
Puddin' you need to take that Camper and make yourself a DIY Flatbed/CarHauler. Can't go wrong.
Happy Veterans Day, thank you for your service. Love all your videos on both channels.
Definitely like the large wheels without the beauty rings they match the speed holes in the front bumper would be cool to see you take the rear bumper and drill and dimple die the edge of it and then paint it white to match the front one then the wheels and the bumpers would all match.
the 18s look soo sweet matches the bumper nicely
I learned more than I ever wanted to about the old Hardbodies when I built one on my channel... The D21 was built from 1986-1997. They had a 2.4 or a 3.0... The early 2.4's were called the Z24 (4 cylinders with 8 spark plugs). In 1989 the 2.4 went to a more traditional 4 plug set up. The 3.0 was a V6... Fun fact, I had to bore the wheels on my Hardbody to fit them on too.
I used one of those 3 part tank cleaning/sealing kits on my old 60 El Camino gas tank. Did a good job. Kit was less than $90 as I recall. Pretty easy. I faced same issue as you. Had to jb weld a few pin holes. 👍👍
The Nissan Hardbody truck was the marketing name for the truck officially called the Nissan truck built from 1986 to 1997. It got it's name because it had a double wall bed as compared to some other small trucks that were single wall. The chassis code was D21 and it had three engines in the US market: The first one was the NAPS-Z. it was a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder with 8 spark plugs. This was an 8 valve engine. It was an evolution of the Datsun L series that, like a good Pokemon, later evolved. It became the KA24E. KA is the engine series, 24 is the 2.4 liter displacement and E stands for Electronic fuel injection. This engine was SOHC with 3 valves per cylinder and 4 spark plugs. It was also available with a V6, the VG30E or a 3 liter EFi engine. The transmission is a variant of the FS5W71 that came out originally in the 260 Z around 1976. The rear axle would be the H190, with 190 meaning it has a 190mm ring gear. The H means it is an open diff, but a posi was available on the SE V6 and would use an R instead of an H in it's model number (I believe they were built by Fuju Heavy Industries but am not sure.). Now the D21 was replaced with the first Nissan truck with a name: The D22 Frontier, or Navarra in some other markets. It has basically the same chassis but with the larger front brakes and dual piston calipers of the first generation Pathfinder. This came with the KA24DE, with the D meaning it is a DOHC engine with 4 valves per cylinder. This is the final evolution of the Datsun L series (itself a mish-mash of engineering from Austin, Prince and Mercedes Benz) before Renault/Nissan introduced the horrible QR25DE engine with the D40 Frontier. The D22 trucks were also available with the VG33E and VG33ER V6 engines- the R stands for supeRcharged. The V6 versions had the H230 or R230 axle and I forget what transmission as I have never had one.
My first S-10 had steelies and caps. I love that look!
Whoa baby, my heart just dropped when you drove under that garage door 😵💫
House build is comin along nicely, almost missed that sneaky shot. This channel made me fall in love with those old internationals, did not know they even existed before watching your vids. Greets from croatia, and thank you for the quality content.
I dig the new look of the Yee Haul!
Without the beauty rings looks sweet.
The wheels do look a little big but gives it a modern take on a cowboy era covered wagon kinda look.
Variety is the spice of life.
I definitely say no beauty rings on the yeehaul. Looks awesome!
I have to say once I found ur channel I instantly knew I was here to stay. Love me a mini truck even though I'm a big ole big and can have trouble fitting in one unless it's extendo cab ya know lol. I've owned 2 d50s and miss them a good bit.
I love the video I think both of them trucks look good that's all awesome glad to see they both running
The year for the Nissan Hardbody 1985.5 because I bought a brand new 1985.5 Nissan XE king cab 4wd with a 2.4 liter Zaps 8 spark plug. I owned it for 2 years and selling it when I took it in for service at the dealer. I then bought a 1987 Nissan SE king cab with a 3.0-liter V-6, 4wd, 5speed. Keep up the good work!
Looks awesome I like the beauty rings ❤
I really enjoy watching the things you do puddin.
Badass lookin yehawl. No beauty rings
Hey bro I really like the new wheels on the yeehawl! Also agree with the NO beauty rings just center caps..Keep up the great work I’ve been following you since the beginning and I like the way you go about your projects. My father owed his own business fabricating race car chassis and being around that my whole life taught me a lot. Unfortunately my father passed away unexpectedly this past January from cancer so I never really got to do much with him. Watching you guys gives me the motivation to get out in the shop and make sure his projects get finished some time soon. We have a few things that would be right up your alley! Thanks again and love the videos!
The nissan D21 pickup was called the Navara in every damn country but America. Go figure. They came with the 2.4 KA engine (which is my favorite) and a V6 that know very little about since their aren't many running left. I've only ever worked on the 4 bangers. The turbo KA24E is a helluva engine and basically just drops in without too much hassle.
The older D21's had the napZ engines. They're neat in that they have 8 spark plugs on a 4 cylinder engine. Some guys out here figured out how to get those to do some pretty dope stuff as far as using all 8 plugs. I was told by an old tech that they used 8 for cold starts and whatnot.
If you ever wanna make one of those Datsuns you got there into a 4x4 you can use a lot of parts from a D21 pickup.
Dude… those 18s look sick!
Good job
I like the wheels on the yee haul, looks sweet 👍🇦🇺
