i picked up a new truck a couple weeks ago to add to my collection. its an '85 2wd std cab. the z24 was blown in it but came with a z22 with only 45k miles on it. this will be my daily driver when i get it done, not too big of plans for it.

-decent stereo(eclipse deck with ipod hookup, pioneer premier front components in fiberglassed kicks, sony 6x9s, precision power 4-channel amp, maybe 1 or 2 8" subs in a console between seats.-better wheels and tires-built a small removable rack in bed to hold my shifter kart so i can fit toolbox and gear under it-hid conversion-paint matte dark blue-beefy hitch receiver and airshocks to pull our kart trailer.

everything but the rack and stereo will probably be a while down the road because my nl320 is my main focus right now once this truck gets on the road.

z24 thats actually already out of the truck nowi have the rest of the interior, the panel was off to fix a window regulator. seats are out of some subaru(not mounted yet) and ive got a grant wheel for itz22 thats almost ready to go in

welcome!

looks like you've got a truck that won't be too hard to make great!

nice pickup. those z22s can be fun engines when done up right

very nice project

actually ive been here for a while but thanks. ive got a '64 NL320 and a '64 L320 too. the trucks in real good shape, a little dent on the door and a few on the tailgate and i only traded some parts for the truck. since the 720 section of this forum is goin pretty good ill be sure and post a lot here with pics. im a regular on ratsun but there arent too many 720 owners there.

yeah the z22 is a real good motor. ive got an a87 head and have been tossing around the idea of building up an lz22. my dad has been building up those hybrid motors in 510s since i was about 5 so ive got some help with that but im probably just gonna keep it stock for a while because i just want easy reliable transportation right now.

720 owner from ratsun here! I need to get a project thread going here...glad to see ya here b2k

Yeah!! Me too. Nice truck!!!

i got the new motor in last night and found out the motor is actually a Z20 got some carpet in there out of my old mazda, just needs to be trimmed and planned out all my stereo component locations

Too bad it turned out to be a z20, i have heard good thing bout the z22 and how beast it is. I can't wait til you modify your bed, looking forward to it.
