lugnut1009 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 New guy here. I bought a 1986 Nissan 720 base truck from the original owner. The passenger window falls off the track, after looking into it, one of the plastic window track clips are broken. Where can I find these at? Everywhere I look doesn't show them. I've found some for Toyotas and newer Nissans that look similar but says it won't fit. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Actually the best place is from another 720. It extremely unlikely that someone is making these items and selling them. Another idea is the Nissan dealer, a long shot, but they may be willing to check other dealers to see if they may have one sitting on a shelf somewhere. Both sides are the same part number 80320-W9000 and used through all years... about $10. 1 Quote Link to comment
lugnut1009 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Thanks. I might buy one made for another vehicle just to see if it will work. They look similar. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Are you talking about these? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Door-Window-Glass-Holder-Support-Clip-fits-Nissan-Datsun-720-Pickup-Ute-d12/271681809654?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment
lugnut1009 Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Yep, that's it!! I think I might go try these at my local auto store: Window Sash Kit Looks similar enough. 1 Quote Link to comment

lugnut1009 Posted May 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 They fit pretty good! Only a little taller and the factory bolt worked perfect! I did have to snap off those little tips that hang down. SUPER YOCOM, sorry just saw your comment. Thanks for the offer though. Now I have a spare for the drivers side if one fails. I wish i’d taken pictures... On another topic (may need to start a new thread) anybody ever built their own door panels? Successfully? 1 Quote Link to comment

lugnut1009 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I know I'm a little late on this, but here is a pic of my truck when I first got it a few weeks ago from the original owner, a Baptist preacher in GA. 3 Quote Link to comment

DrvnDrvr Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Love the steelie rims. Polish those up and she's good to go. 720 of a preacher man. 2 Quote Link to comment
lugnut1009 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks guys. I kind of like the rusty look. We’ll see where we go from here. The interior is terrible, dash has deep cracks, door panels are torn up at the bottom, etc... odometer shows 195k miles. But still cranks and runs great. Need to replace all my vacuum lines. 2 Quote Link to comment

lugnut1009 Posted May 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Anybody have a link to what is needed to convert these AC systems over to R134A? I've found the screw on adapters for the fittings, but what else? I plan to also buy a kit to replace all the O-rings in the system and jump out the compressor to make sure it isn't locked up. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Replace your receiver dryer and then just fill the system. flush a solvent through the system to remove the old oils, then add an r134 compatible oil and fill the system with refrigerant (after vacuuming). 2 Quote Link to comment
lugnut1009 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks Lockleaf! That’s simple. I also plan to break apart every connection and replace the o-rings. Hope the compressor is good. What type of solvent would you recommend? Don’t want to harm the compressor if it is good. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 At parts stores they sell a compressed can of ac system solvent. Just use that and follow it's instructions 1 Quote Link to comment
lugnut1009 Posted June 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Oh ok, guess I never looked for it so I’ve never heard of it. 1 Quote Link to comment
lugnut1009 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well my O-ring kit, dryer, and r12 to r134a conversion kit came in yesterday. I'll start tearing down the system and replacing o-rings when I get time. We'll see how that goes... 1 Quote Link to comment

Well I did it really cheap hurt to see if it would work, probably not recommended. But all I did was replace the dryer and all the o-rings except the ones on the compressor. I know I should have totally evacuated the system and replaced the oil in the compressor but I didn’t. I just charged it with cheap Walmart r134a refrigerant til it was cooling (didn’t take near what it was supposed to, compressor probably isn’t sealing well). I’m still running it with no problems yet. Now it won’t freeze me out, but it will cool enough that I turn the fan down from time to time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
