The truck I was looking at had an aftermarket steering wheel, but I felt like my knees were almost in my chest lol. Found a king cab sort of close by, but it has no motor or transmission. I've been day dreaming about dumping a KA into it, but I don't know if I have the time for that and I needed something that I could start driving really soon.
Sorry about the truck man. That really sucks :(
Didn't end up buying the truck. Partly because it wasn't in near as good of shape the guy said it was in and therefore wasn't worth his asking prices, but also because I could barely fit in it. Guess I'm too tall for the standard cab. Do the King Cab versions have a lot more leg room in them? Thank you all so much for your advice though. It helped a lot to know what to look for.
I'm trying to go look at a '73 620 on Tuesday. The add on craigslist claims that the truck has a 2.0 liter in it, but the VIN that the guy gave me over the phone is PL620428331 and according to this thread http://community.ratsun.net/topic/16103-how-to-read-620-vin-numbers/ that code corresponds the the 1.6 if I'm understanding it correctly. So my question is where is the serial or engine number on the actual engine and how do I read it to make sure it's a 2.0 and not a stock 1.6? Any advice would be very much appreciated. I'm brand new to the Datsun scene so I apologize if this question is stupid or has been asked before.
Thanks for the advice man. It doesn't look like it's been sitting or anything like that, but I'll make sure to check out those parts.
For that price I might pick some up for when I do eventually need them.
I might be going to look at a '73 620 tomorrow and I was just wondering if there are any common problems I should be on the lookout for. From the pictures the truck looks like it's in really good shape, but are there any areas on these truck that are prone to rust or any other sort of mechanical problems I should look out for? Any advice would be much appreciated.
