#Nissan #Frontier #Dually
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.
To this day I'd love to have one as a run around pickup. I always liked those pickups
And isn’t that the reason why they discontinued it?

Having history like that is priceless!
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 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.
Lol hardbodys don’t care what you got in the back they just keep going!!
I love that they found a Nissan full float dual rear wheel axle. H233 I think.
Correct it is a H233 B
My 2wd long bed has an hg43 pretty rare for the 2wds
Ohhh its custom built dually. That's why. I thought it was some super rare production unit
Still cool though
they made dually hardbodys from the factory in the late 80s early 90s
I’m surprised that engine had enough power to turn the duallys
All in the gears
thats not how it works theres more to it than that , another shocker is the engine before this model the 720's and early d21's had a 4 cylinder dual spark plug motor with throttle body injection aka TBI like the GM's of the same time period
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'm a Hardbody and Pathfinder crazed man so I love it
May she ride another half mil 👍
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!
Those square body chevy dually fenders fit it really well 👍
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.
Guys, that's real talent, it's like some hybrid f350 with d21, i'm susrprised that inline 4 can handle the farm
Thank you and yea that KA24E is a very resilient motor.
Sweet looking truck! It looks like it came from the factory that way 😀
Thanks we tried to make it look as perfect as we could.
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.
Sorry to hear that. Nissans are great trucks that will take care of you if you take care of them:)
Never in my life I would see a dually Nissan hardbody! That’s amazing
Holy crap what a beast
She's beautiful bro. Thank you for sharing. I am planning a build that is going to be a dually
A Nissan hardbody pickup with what looks to be a Chevy square body Dually bed in the rear, I guess that’s kind of weird and cool at the same time
Yeah, I can’t tell if it is a square body dually fender or stepside fender.
@@c.mcadam.6911 it’s not a step side fender. He said it’s a Chevy dually fender. I know the guy who built this.
@@jereldbarnhold2691 lol thanks for l awnsering this one. I though I said it was a regular Chevy dually fender. 🤷♂️
@@jereldbarnhold2691 those are regular 73-87 chevy 1 ton fenders. They look almost identical to the step side fenders but are made of fiberglass and don't have the steps
I commented this before he said it in the video
I’ve been dreaming about doing this to my hardbody!!! Finally found someone who has completed it and it looks absolutely 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.
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
Thanks I will look into that!
That is one of the best mods that ive seen and looks factory other than the paint difference between bed and truck if you were to repaint as a whole you would definitely have people scratching there heads..and i am scratching my head anyways
Thank you!! the place I had paint this couldn’t Mach the front.
That is really a bass truck. No wonder it sat on the lot until the 93's were being sold
What?! This thing is awesome.
I have a 2010 Nissan Frontier Crew-Cab 4wd but I like this Nissan Hardbody Dually alot, it's a cool nice looking truck. I don't mind driving something like this👍🇺🇸..
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.
A series around a 90s crew cab squares body would be cool, like a F250 or similar
I'm not surprised at all that you got high miles on this engine transmission combo,... I got over 400,000 miles on the Hardbody truck that I owned back then,.. yes same drive line.
Just give them the recommended service, and you're all set.
You've done a really good job with this one. Thumbs up, indeed.
Very cool truck sir!
Actually these types of trucks aren’t to uncommon in Mexico of course we add two more tires but this build is nice
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.
Doing a 2.8 cummins swap to tow a super small tiny house and this might be my end goal now thanks for sharing such a cool build
Cool little build. Did is see wire nuts under that right rear fender? Please tell me it is not so.
It was. What’s bad about wire nuts?
@@jereldbarnhold2691 Nothing in the right application. To me a connection under the fender is not the right application because the connection is exposed. I would be worried about strength/durability and the weather/water/grime/mud resistance of the connection.
@@garretlewis4103 I will be putting a rubber liner ( mud flap) as the inner fender. Thanks for the concern but this was the only way I could think to wire the lights:)
@@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.
@@garretlewis4103 thanks for the info I will waterproof it👍
Drag race the TRX!!
Sweet setup on that truck!
The dealer was open on Christmas.. wow!
Wow talk about a unicorn
Would to see it working
I wanna see a pre 90s v6 long bed model. I had a chance to buy one for 2500 but I didn't have the room for it. I haven't see one for sale since or seen one period.
That is a pretty cool truck.
As someone with a hardbody with no knowledge of what to do may I say you’ve peaked my interest sir
That Dually !!! 😍😍😍 In my country the most capable Nissan pickup was the Miller (2.5 ton capacity in a SRW configuration).
I’m reaaaaallly wanting to do this to mine. First things first, get it running. Then, and only then, can I dually it.
Nice Steiger!
Thank you! It’s good to see another Steiger fan. That one there is a Bearcat 1 with a cat 3208 that has a turbo 250hp. I have 4 other Steigers the green ones:) do you have a Steiger?
@@Jeo7140 ya we have a super wildcat 1 with I believe a cat 3150. Should do a TFL review of your Steigers lol. Ours is pretty tired though, we’ve been saying it’ll be her last year for the last ten years lol
never seen a single cab king cab in my life and this one is also dually haha, cool build
Looks like it was repainted, maroon interior.
The body was repainted last summer but when we put the fenders we had the bed repainted and the interior is the regular grey but the original driver side door broke so it’s a red door.
That is one gorgeous truck! Now I want to replicate it.
Well that little truck really looks heavy duty. I like it
i really like the brush guard
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.
I think it needs vertical side pipes to complete the look. LOVE IT!!!
That's one sick truck😎nice👍👍👊
Nice NISS-EVY! looks good 👍
Yes they did offer factory 1 ton DRW.
GR8 Hardcopy
Roll on !
It's awsome!!
What a cool little pickup. Absolutely love it
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.
Man u had me fooled I knew those looked like old chevy tubs
But I thought it was like those dually toyotas that I've only seen with a Rv conversion but just 1ton truck
Nice build
So he is saying the dealership was open on Christmas Day and he went in and bought this truck? Merry Christmas to you!
Yes sir my dad bought it on Christmas morning. Thank you!
@@Jeo7140 pretty interesting little truck. Are those 5 lug dually wheels hard to find ? I don't see very many dually rims around like that
@@oldcroneysgarage9739 there almost impossible to find and very expensive.
Should make the frame one ton too.
these are as reliable as toyotas
Very Nice-
My local Nissan dealership is selling a Importanted Nissan 4 door Hardbody
All I see is a lot of spinal abuse from a dually with that short of a wheelbase. Also I gotta ask are there frame reinforcements or does the stock frame handle that kind of payload?
It is just the stock frame and the frame is very strong has no cracks. From what we have hauled I’d say the stock frame can take it.
@@Jeo7140 impressive how overbuilt it is
I can clearly see that it is bent when he shoots it from behind. So no, the frame couldn’t handle it.
@@davidheckart639 Can you give a time where the bend is visible because I didn't see it. Btw the bumper is bent but its a bumper on a farm truck what do you expect
65 years ago - the earliest year I can find solid numbers for - an F-350 could carry 5,675 pounds.
It is way past time to kill the “1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton” nonsense.
gorgeous
What did the dually axles come off of
Btw im so jelly you could put me on some toast right now
Lol
No burnout?
Cool truck... :-)
where did you find 6x5.5 dually wheels?
There's one of these and another dually with a flat bed around my county in california.
These are the kinda engine that outlives their owners.
Cool working truck.
I want it
I need it
Fix the speedo cable.
OMG. BEAUTIFUL ❤️
Nice classic.i got a 88 single cab...glad its not a toyota
Things a beaut!
What kind of price for this kind of truck?
We have non dually hard bodies this size in east africa that i need convered.
How best can i emgage you to do this ?
What is the rear end from?
was this stock
When the engine goes bad stick a 4bt cummins in it
Up the nav
I could tell it was GM dually bedside
That is a neaty!
Let me know if you selling that axle I’ll buy
Corner lights need fixed.
Sending WhistlinDiesel out with a checkbook. He will show you how amazing it is
no air conditioning bummer.
This is a factory dually???
Unnnnniiiiccoorrrrrn
Front suspension is still 1/4 ton flimsy Nissan stuff. Tiny bearings, rod ends and arms. I wouldn’t call it a 1 ton.
I never seen Nissan dually.. I have seen Toyota dually old model 1980-to 1998 late... she keeper's say my wife's 🙊🙈🙉🤔🤥🥶🤢🐈🤑🕳️💰🔥🔥🔥🔥
If it's a "dude" video you put that in the title or on the preview! No exceptions! Got it?
