wayno you said the 720 tie rods need to be shorten... mines a 620 does that still apply to me? im not trying to do much of a brake upgrade im really just trying to lower the truck 2 inches or so. if i was to get the 720 tie rods, vented rotor, and 720 caliper would i still be able to use the lowering spindle i bought? im just in need of lowering it not upgrade bakes even further.

waynoyea iv also read about upsizing to 15inch so ill probably do that. i believe mike told me i would aslo need some custom control arms. gosh theres just so much do to for a 2inch drop :mad: but would i be fine with getting the vented rotors and calipers for now? ill still wait for mikes response on the rotors

waynookayy ill stay put until mike messages you. this whole time i thought 720 and hardbody were the same :confused: im running stock 14nch.

waynookay well as far as the spacers go. this shouldnt be a problem i have a bunch of bolts and stuff laying around i should be able to find some. quick question that has me confused. whats the difference between 720 and hardbody i though they were both the same? darn well ill figure something out. i should still manage to get those longer bolts aswell one way or another. if you could let mike know i would highly appreciate it. but for the mean time ill get to those vented rotors.

waynowow thank you for all this usefull information. theres a junkyard near my house so ill scope it out soon probably tomorrow. youv cleared up so much for me. now that i know what year rotors/calipers they are ill convert the vented rotors and calipers as soon as possible. once i do ill let you know hows it goin. and as for the spacers... NO i only recieved the spindles with pins for the bolt.

waynogosh it feels like a never ending story if its not one thing its another. so your saying i might have to get some custom arms for a full disk conversion? and even if i was to get thicker vented rotors and bigger caliper would i still manage to install them?

waynoyes these are the exact same ones i have

datzenmikeyeah thats true. wattta!! how do you upload pics ?

waynothat is correct they seem to be just solid... will that be a problem?

it sure would but the links take you straight to the picture so its not that bad. i couldnt quit get the hang of the whole upload thing on here through flickr.

hey ratsuns. i have a 1973 datsun 620 that iv been working on since oct. iv done most of the interior and have proceeded to the exterior part of the truck. i first want to lower it; iv done tons of reading/forums on lowering and decided to go with lowering spindles since it will prevent future alignment issues. the front brakes have been converted to disk but am not sure what year they came of from. i called the previous owner and was told there 720 disk brakes. i bought lowering spindles off ebay for a 720 1984-1997 but they didnt fit :/ the caliper didnt fit. i am now stumped and dont know what actions to take on next. any help is very much appreciated. anything to get this truck back on the road and lowered. does anyone know what year disk brakes these might be? http://www.flickr.com/photos/59464300@N06/11552992343/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/59464300@N06/11552881394/in/photostream/ what things do i need to make this spindle fit? http://www.flickr.com/photos/59464300@N06/11552995423/in/photostream/ the interior http://www.flickr.com/photos/59464300@N06/11440455373/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/59464300@N06/11440323564/in/photostream/

The truck is coming along great! I'm looking forward to see what you'll do next. I have a 73 as well I recently started working on it.

I love how the truck has been coming along. I have a 73 620 as well. iv recently started working on it. I'm inspired by all the mods and work GRpufnstuf has done. Keep it up looking nice!
