STAY RAD! Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 New to the group as I just became the owner of a 1986 Nissan 720 manual 4x4 king cab with 120k miles. Thing is, I just wiped off grease to reveal z24 engine serial which does not match VIN. Is that normal? Also, according to the original manual that came with the truck, along with the original warranty docs, it says there should be a plate in engine compartment passenger side that lists body/engine data. But this is not present in my truck. Thanks for any clarification! 1 Quote Link to comment
SLO720 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Welcome to Ratsun! If you'd like to post photos, the best place to upload and insert them from seems to be postimage.com Typically on a 720, the tag on early trucks is on the passenger side in between the washer fluid reservoir and the hood bracket/hinge. The later models got a sticker on the driver's side door jamb. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

SLO720 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Yes sir on later models 🙂 Your tag should show the diff selection and say, "ca411" which means, 4.11 rears and a c200 rear diff. Vin should also be present along with a few other things. Edited January 27, 2020 by SLO720 1 Quote Link to comment
