This truck is not currently running, due to a possible head gasket needed. The truck is a frankenstein, meaning someone put an engine from one truck into the body of another. The body is a Mazda B2200 1988, and the engine is a Nissan SD 22. The engine appears to be in good shape, and the body of the car definitely is. It has a brand new alternator that I had put in, and a brand new $100 super battery. It needs vacuum brakes and steering. If you're into working on cars, this could end up being a good value.

It has been filled with biodiesel, but probably will need new hoses and filter soon. It is currently at Dr. Dan's in ballard. Give me a call if you're interested in checking it out...

This truck is a custom modified diesel truck which had an engine from a different manufacturer put into it. The body is a 1988 Mazda 2200, the engine is a Nissan SD 22. This is a project truck. It has electrical and mechanical issues, not all figured out, one of which is a possible head gasket needed. I invested $400 dollars into it beyond its initial cost, and had it for only two weeks. I am not a mechanic, and it is over my head, so I want to pass it on. I put a brand new alternator in it, and a tank full of bio-diesel.

The truck is currently being housed at Dr. Dan's Alternative Fuel Werks in Ballard if you want to go and take a look at it. Just call Dr. Dan's at 783-5728.

"The truck is a frankenstein,..."

Oh I WANT that truck. LOL

I have to wonder what would happen with California SCAB/CARB (whatever) because ... as far as I know ... Calif now limits your replacement engine swap. If your new engine was never sold originally in CA, you can't do it now. But of course, I could be mistaken.
