i'm back, and pathy-less

[skulptr]

so i got tired of all the r50's problems, so i sold it and picked up an 86 720 for 500 bucks. i'm not gonna complain. i needed the bed, and something easier to work on.

 

if theres a better category for this please move it. not sure if there ever will be a 720/hb cat

Sweet!! I drove a 1984 D720 4x4KingCab for ten years, and would buy another one in good condition. I didn't have the room, $ or forum to fix up the old one, but I'd sure as hell fix one up now as the 'farm truck'!!

 

The Z24 motor is a champ, but quite weak. If you can get another 20% out of it, it would be viable. I wasn't in the position to try at the time...

A weber carb is supposed to make a huge difference. I would love to change the gearing, but I have to put a toyota axle in the rear to do anything with it. Stupid c200 diff

And I miss my power steering and a/c. I found a/c lines at the jy and I'm gonna go get it Thursday, but can't find a compressor
