So,here she is. 1995 Nissan King Cab XE.
277k, 2.4L KAE,auto,AC,slider rear window,bedliner,power steering (which the Mazda lacks,and sucks for daily driving!) and such. I haven't even had the truck for 2 hours and I've already replaced a broken headlight and took off the fugly bug deflector on the hood. It needs brakes to certify and then needs an e-test,so I should have it on the road and start getting driven daily next week. It drives real nice,quiet,smooth and comfy,so I think this truck is going to be great.
Best of all,I only paid $1000 for it,and overall,it's in way better shape than my Mazda. The interior is in excellent shape,the engine bay is really clean,and overall,the body is clean and straight,with the worst parts being the rockers rotted out just behind the front fenders.

Nice find! Definately looks like a driver. With any luck it will take you to 500k w/o major issues

I loved my Nissan KC the short time I had it.
Too bad its a slaughtermatic. The 5 spd was pretty damn snappy. Well, with an auto, it doesnt make the mazda seem AS slow, lol.

the mazda is close enough to that stage,LOL
The automatic isn't that bad. It's fine for me since I do all highway driving to and from work,and I'm half asleep in the morning so I don't have to bother with shifting,lol.
I'm definetly not lowering it,but I did just put my chrome Mazda rims on it today and they look pretty snazzy. She's runnin' mint,and the only mods I have planned are to install a CD player and upgrade the speakers because the stock stuff is GARBAGE. I'm also looking to get a tonneau cover or a toolbox,but that's about it. I just want something cheap,practical and reliable to roll around in,something that won't nickel and dime me to death such as the Mazda has been doing for the past year.
