Still have the lowering blocks - shipping weight is 9 Lbs, per FedEx ground shipping to 93021 is $14.23 (residential delivery, no signature required) - call it $49 total.

Pulled the carb out - you're correct - it is a 32/34 DFT. Forgot that the stock air cleaner adapter is with it along with all of the CARB EO emissions paperwork and tag. Carb kit from Pierce Manifolds was also ordered with a set of main shaft seals (kit cost $40 four plus years ago) - all this thing needs to be put back in service is to have the shafts rebushed and be reassebled.

If my memory is correct, yes - will check when I get home from work tonight.........

If I've got the zip codes right, here's the totals based on FedEx Ground "quick quote" rate extimates for residential delivery, guys: box 1: column cover, turn signal & dash switchs - $29.53 ($20 + 9.53 shipping @1.5 lbs to 97115) box 2: shocks, vents, ign & door locks - $48.50 (35 + $13.50 shipping @ 8 lbs to 92281) box 3: mud flaps - $26.73 ($15 + 11.73 shipping @ 2 lbs to 98271) Assuming the estimates are ok, shoot me an e-mail to bja_47@yahoo.com with the correct ship-to address (include a contact phone # for FedEx as well) and I'll get an exact shipping amount and e-mail it back - I've found the "quick quote" amounts are often a bit high. Money order, cashiers check or PayPal is ok for payment - if you want to use PayPal, let me know and I'll also send the e-mail address I use for that purpose.

Thanks for the update - guess that block of cash is a write off.......................

Used Weber 32/34, boiled out & ready for rebuild, with complete unopened Pierce Manifolds rebuild kit. Needs main shafts for primary and secondary bbls rebushed, otherwise excellent condition. Smog legal for 76 -79 model years, with CARB EO tag - $75 Sold my 620 KC some time ago - this is part of a bunch of leftover parts I no longer need but hate to throw away. E-mail bja_47@yahoo.com for photos or more info - if you're interested but think the asking $$ is too high, e-mail an offer.

My apologies if I'm dredging up a sore topic - back before I sold the KC a couple of years ago, there was a project underway by a board member to manufacture run a of 620 KC pickup quarter window seals. Like quite a few other folks, I ordered and prepaid for a set - they hadn't shown up at the time that I sold the truck, and I forgot about em until I dragged out my box of leftover parts during a garage cleaning project and stated listing stuff for sale in the classifieds. I never did get the seals - since I'm at the same address I've had since 1986, I'm guessing they probably never got shipped - did anyone ever get them, or did everybody who paid for one or more sets get stiffed?

Brain hicup - e-mail address was missing an "_" - should be bja_47@yahoo.com. Original post has been corrected - sorry about that, guys. Regarding the above questions: 1. Steering column / ignition lock came from an overseas e-Bay vendor - will see if I can find a copy of the original paperwork. Was interested to find that the ignition key was the same key blank as a modern Nissan Frontier pickup, that Frontier door lock cylinders could be keyed to match, and it wasn't a huge project to modify the door lock cylinder linkage to work in the 620. Took on the project after interruping a couple of guys who were in the middle of stealing my KC - the new cylinders are much more pick-resistant than the old 620 units. 2. No tach, but I did discover that a VDO tach from an early Porsche 924 is an easy conversion - even comes with the proper cone shaped lens. 924's are pretty common in wrecking yards - got the one that went into my KC @ P&P for about $10. Can send photos of the installation if anybody's interested. Shoot an e-mail to the yahoo address, and I'll send shipping quotes and / or photos of any of the stuff that's listed, or the tach installation, etc. Barry

Up79 620 KC is long gone, time to carry through with last year's new years resolution and clear out the last of the leftovers - anything that's not gone by the end of January goes in the dumpster. Buyer pays shipping (FedEx ground) on all items; if you think the asking price is too much for an item but you're interested, make an offer and I'll probably take it - hate to throw things away if somebody can use 'em. Beltech 3" lowering blocks - in original box, used about one week, as new condition - $35.00 NEW ignition switch w/ keys, still in sealed bag - $35 Turn signal switch, plastic column jacket, headlight switch and wiper switch with fiber optic light can and fiber optic "cables" ; all in good working condition, column jacket not cracked, fiber optic cable needs covering repaired, but fibers are good.

(these don't weigh much but are bulky, so they'd be expensive to pack and ship - prefer local pickup in the Sacramento CA area) - SOLD - Used ignition switch & door lock cylinders w/ keys, good working condition (converted my KC to a locking steering column and matching Frontier door locks following a theft attempt) - $25.00 - SOLD - Pair of gas shocks (rears if memory serves (vertical stud top mount, eye bottom mount), excellent condition - $5 - SOLD - Pair of defroster vents and hoses, very good condition - $5 - SOLD - Used Weber 32/34 DFT electric choke carb, boiled out & ready for rebuild, with complete Pierce Manifolds rebuild kit including new teflon main shaft seals and stock 620 air cleaner adapter.

Smog legal for 76 -79 model years, with CARB EO tag & paperwork - $75 obo E-mail Barry @ bja_47@yahoo.com for info or photos (I probably will NOT be monitoring the board closely, so may not reply quickly to PM's - best bet will be to e-mail)

One set purchased - located in No. CA, have NOT moved, changed addresses or e-mail accounts. Sold my KC over a year ago - had completely forgotten about this......................

Tom, Please e-mail me off-line @ bja_47@yahoo.com when the seals are ready to ship - I've sold my KC, so the seals are going to need to be shipped to the new owner. With the truck sold, I don't have a Datsun in the fleet any longer, so I'm not on the board much now.......... Thanks

Truck is SOLD - went to a local guy who owned at standard cab short bed 20 years ago, and was overjoyed to get it, so it's in a good home.....

Sadly, after a couple of years of work in getting the 79 KC just about where I wanted it, it's going up for sale - we're going to be downsizing our living situation soon & there just won't be room for all the toys and other stuff, so some things have to go. My loss is definitely going to be somebody's gain..... Ad (with photos) was posted tonight on Sacramento CA area CraigsList - I'll get photos added to the ad in the classifieds here as soon as I get time to upload them to photobucket and move them over.
