1980 720 King Cab side window latches/handles

[atariangamer]

Hello all,

Recently picked up a 1980 King Cab and have been working through cleaning it up so I can actually use it.

 

One of the biggest issues is that the right rear side window latch was broken. Even worse, when I tried to remove the pins so I could try and glue it back up properly, it shattered. So it's no longer an option to repair.

 

I tried to use the handles from a D21 but they don't line up at all. Trying to jury rig some parts from both latches also didn't really work.

 

I haven't found any suitable replacement so far... Does anyone know about a reasonable replacement for this purpose?

Parts truck. I’m not positive, but most likely any 80-85 should work. Try posting in the classifieds section.

They are for sale on facebook.

From what I see, I agree. Classifieds is a good point. I've been trying to find a junkyard with a 720 in it but I live in an area where people charge ridiculous amounts for anything that still resembles a car.

Thank you for looking! I had found those. Handles tend to come attached to the glass on eBay.

 

Will check FB Marketplace, see if anything is local.

$20 shipped, you’re not going to find them cheaper.
