    My name is Cole. Im new to this website but not new at all to the mini truck world. I have been involved in working on my truck and making it the way I want since my dad gave it to me when I was 16 (that was 13 years ago) Geeez! haha My Dad bought it brand new in '86. I started out lowering it with drop blocks and cranking down the torsion bars... from there it went through many stages.

    I dont own a toyota, although I've always been a fan of them. My truck is a 1986 Nissan 720.

    After lowering I decided it needed some nice wheels. I found a set of chrome 15" Mitsu Montero wheels that worked great. Later in its life I for some reason was thinking of juicing it with player wire wheels, tried the wheels for a while and moved on from those. Next it was time to really make a change in the height of the truck. So in 2002 when I joined the Air Force I had a friend of mine help me put a air ride set up on it to make it lay frame. I also bought a set of white Z71 wheels for it.

    I took the truck to many shows back then and was in a club named Slammed Images out of North Carolina. I decided I wanted to make a change and start my own chapter of a mini truck club I really liked. Thats when I started No Regrets North Carolina Chapter with a friend of mine named Ray. This was a big motivation at the time so I decided to have a fellow club member fabricate a whole new chassis and body drop the truck to my specifications. Which is how it sits now. This is a short and sweet version of a long story. I have not shown the truck in quite a few years now, and not really into much of the "scene" anymore but do still love my mini.

    These days I spend most of my time with my wife and being a father to my son. I also enjoy making my 1953 Oldsmobile into a traditional mild custom. My first love is old cars, but I can appreciate anything done right.

    Im on this site because like I said, Im a fan of toyota minis. I also need to sale the 17" Rozzi Wikid wheels you see on my truck in the picture below. I am looking for a set of I think its '73-'81 toyota steel wheels. I have a set of the caps for them, just need the wheels. Porsche Fuchs would be nice too :) The Rozzi wheels tuck very nice and fit Toyota lug pattern being thats what I converted my Nissan too. Im just ready for something different. If you are interested in purchasing my wheels or working out some sort of trade please PM me. I also have a few billet accessories id be willing to part with.

    Looking forward to participating in some of the forums on here and getting to know you guys. Some of you I may already know. :waytogo:

    Very nice build. I love the 720 trucks. My father in law has an 85 extra cab that will soon be mine. Looking forward to seeing more of the build. Would like to see some of billet goodies for sale.
