Isn't that truck just a ford ranger? Look for ranger parts and you'll find more.
Dunno if there'll be anything for a truck though.

your thinkin of the mazda b series, which are the same platform as the ranger. Nissans are dif trucks, and as far as i know they didnt have "sister platforms". But there should be a decent look support for them, as alot of people like to drop them. Altho alot of the trucks from that era that ive seen the majority of the work was custom fabbed, which isnt that hard on a truck if you are decent with fabbing. what are you looking for? cuz if your plannin on bagging it at all a body kit is basically out of the question, as youll break the fiberglass when you drop it.

ya... im planning on lowering it like 2 inches or so but i am probably not gonna be puting a fiberglass body kit on it.... i probably fab it out of sheet metal or somethin... as for the engine i just rebuilt it and put in performance cam and lifters, and new pistons, im just not seeming to find any bolt-ons or anything... wheels are another issue... i might just have to have them custom made or ill just get a new rear axle... a five bolt rather than six bolt....

check out a 4x4 forum, i think you might be able to get an axle from another truck that will just slide in. If not then it might just be as simple as going to a junkyard and getting the rear end off a jeep. I love trucks cuz you can just cut and weld for the majority of work. Id say bags, rollpan shave the doors, and a nice teaneu (sp?) cover. if your not dead set on the 5lugs, 6 lug rims arent that hard to come by.

do you have the 4cyl or 6cyl. you should do a full drivetrain swap. for power you should either go with a rb26tt or the 3.0 twinturbo motor from the 300zx.
for rims, instead of look by vehicle, look for rims on lug pattern size.
