wayno Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 To me they look like little drops of colored epoxy. :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Up close they look to be small polished stones. Look like birth stones They look like June to me. I am probably wrong and they are just plastic. The person that did this did a good job. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Here are pictures of my Return spring on my Weber DGEV 32/36 Carb. I bought this carb new and I could not get it to idle until I put this return spring on it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ok I found a 720 ST 2WD King Cab Z24 5spd 32 36 Weber, It has the tac, clock, oil pressure and volt gauges , power windows and locks, moon roof (missing the glass), 3 aluminum ST wheels, and the stainless ST tail gate insert. It has front end damage, bumper, hood, fenders and grill. I will need to look it over more closely once I pick it up. It I can replace the parts I just listed I will keep the ST whole and sell my red 86 KC. I will determine this all after I get the ST home. The only things I wanted that the ST does not have is an automatic transmission and a thumpin stereo. But I have the automatic and I can install the sound. Oh and I will have to change out the instrument cluster to the denmarkboy find. 3 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I did not take any pictures yet. I will when it is mine, The original color is pail yellow and someone did a real bad black flat black rattle can paint job. Then it was tagged with white paint, The truck looks terrible.

Charlie69 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Here are the pictures of the denmarkboy's unique 720 cluster installed in my King Cab. And the clock works. Not sure yet how accurate the clock is. Thank you again denmarkboy! I will take it for a drive tomorrow and check out the rest of the instruments. Interior shots 4 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Charlie where is the ST truck located ? The interior on yours is the same as my old 85. I really like the wood grain dash inserts. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Everything works on the denmarkboys cluster except the temp gauge and a couple lights. It rained here today so no work. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well I need to pull the denmark boy cluster out to repair the temp gauge. I hope to get to this tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment
720inOlyWa Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 If it is just the temp gauge, I have a couple extra. you are welcome to one, if you want it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I appreciate the offer, I have several thank you. Something about Datsuns/Nissans you can not have just 1 of anything! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
84720FourWheel Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 You have better odds of finding them in your parts pile when you have multiple. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 So True! I have been looking for months for a 520 ash tray I promised to Jrock. I can not find it. I remember putting it some where I would not forget where it was. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well The 720 is going to have hold it's own for a while as I am starting a push on my 520 build. Been cleaning the garage for 3 days and should have it done by Saturday. It is getting old! what I used to accomplish in a day now takes me a week. Any way it is not to hot here yet so I will change out the bad temp gauge at a later date. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Gene Knight and I went to Prescott Valley yesterday to look for parts. First found a 1987 Hardbody Z24 automatic and we proceeded to pull the engine and and harvest the starter and the flex plate with mounting hardware. What I found was there was only a spacer on the transmission side of the the flex plate. Drive (Flex) plate engine side. Drive (Flex) Plate transmission side. Spacer ring transmission side of flex plate. I also scored a ST gauge cluster with clock and the tac. Even better than that I scored a set of power doors. I will be doing a comparison of my non power 86 doors with the 85 power doors. We ran out of time so I need to go back and finish removing the wire harness from the power door tuck. I will use this harness to build the the harness for my 720 Z24 4 speed automatic. I have 2 86.5 hardbody Z24 automatic 2 wheel drive harnesses that I will morph into the 720 harness. I will also be going back for the for the sun roof. This is an 85 720 4x4 ST truck that I am getting the power parts from. 2 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Are you using the d21 auto trans? 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Is the ST gauge cluster any different other than clock and tach? Id like to see those power doors, I remember someone telling me the panels look quite a bit different. Excellent find! You'll have the most luxurious 720 out there! 1 Quote Link to comment
720inOlyWa Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Congrats! That is so cool when you find a nice ST to harvest from! The cluster is especially great. And power windows?!? I have yet to see those, myself. How were the carpets? I need me some black ST KC carpets! 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thank you It was fun to find another ST. I still have my sights on the other one I found. The truck was a 4X4 light metallic blue with a blue interior. This truck had rust. In northern AZ they do salt the roads. The floors and front wheel wells were badly rusted out. The carpet was trashed. I hope to go back in a couple weeks to get a couple more things. Had to catch up on my domestic duties today. I hope to be able to do the comparison tomorrow.

Charlie69 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 Are you using the d21 auto trans?Not Yet I am still gathering parts and it is a major wiring chore. I have to separate the wires I need from the D21 harness and morph them into the 720 harness and remove the wires no longer needed from the 720 Harness. I am going to attempt to make the engine harness separate from the body harness. I wish Icehouse made a CAN/AM box that included the automatic transmission.

You'll have the most luxurious 720 out there! Yes. Congrats! That is so cool when you find a nice ST to harvest from! The cluster is especially great. And power windows?!? I have yet to see those, myself. How were the carpets? I need me some black ST KC carpets! JC Whitney used to sell carpet kits for the 720 king cab and reg cabs. I have used them in the past and was surprised at the quality and fit. http://www.jcwhitney.com/p2029695/sku-9968674.jcwx?filterid=g694 2 Quote Link to comment
