God deal. got my 720 for free too, all it cost was $80 for a head gasket and $300 for rego

Does the Z22 have the w/pump/clutch fan, distributor, alternator? If yes then hang onto these 'spares'. Is the flywheel and clutch still on it?

[toddluck]

its compleate except the fan and clutch...flywheel and clutch are still there as well

I do not know these very well yet but when did they go to a domestic bed on the datsun trucks? At least in toyotas that is what they call a fleetside like chevy has. The ones with the hooks on the outside they call import beds. My 84 has the hooks on the outside of the bed.

[datzenmike]

The D-21s were without outside the box hooks. Most 720 had them I think, but anyone could remove them for that 'clean' look.

1984 was the year the bed changed on the 720. I prefer the "import" style bed.

[datzenmike]

Three different boxes were used on the 720: 1980-1982 models can be identified by a bed with an outside facing lip, rear tail lamp assemblies mounted horizontally down near the bumper line and an exposed seam running horizontally along the sides, very bad for rusting. 1983-1984 models also have outside facing lip and exposed seam but the rear tail lamp assemblies are mounted high up on the corners with a vertical orientation. 1985-1986 models have smooth sided beds with inside facing lips and tail lamp assemblies mounted vertically high up on the corners.

My bad.:rolleyes: I thought they went smooth in 84.

[datzenmike]

The build date could be '84 but it may have been an '85 model year. If there is still an emissions sticker on the underside of the hood, it will show the model year. Freud said "sometimes a cigar, is just a cigar", well sometimes an '84 is just an '84.
