    Thanks for the reply Mike, I haven't opened the drum on the rear sides yet since I pretty much changed everything on the back and front and every time I adjust the front I also adjust the rear and there's no no loose brake fluid in the reservoir, I didn't know about pressing the brake after each adjustment so I just checked both front tires and pressed the brake and they both looks the same turn on the wheel so I'll see how it feels in a few weeks and take it from there, thanks Mike

    Hello guys Mike and banzai hope everything is going well in your life and wish you the best always ,you guys have helped me so much and I wish I can do the same for you fellas, thank you and this great website for helping me in this project, I'm trying to get this beautiful truck as smooth as possible and the brakes keeps getting better and better since I got it but my driver side front brake keeps getting missadjusted so after I adjust them in a couple of weeks the front driver brakes loosen up making the other side tighten up and start locking the brakes to the right for any hard stop,,any suggestion on how to fix it???

    I did it exactly as the picture with thicker zip ties and it feels solid with no play so I know is not the bearings,,I'm just concerned about the zip ties being pressed with the bracket to see how long they will last ,i wanted to upload a picture to show you but my phone has a more than 2 mp and the website doesn't let me upload it. anyway any day the beautiful datsun last I'll be thankful to your trick, thank you Buddy for your help and god bless you and your family

    Thanks for your help Mike, after adjusting the pedal it was about the same so today after work I lifted the rear part of the truck and I found that the round rubber boot or seal holding the drive shaft about in the middle is broken so the drive shaft is all loose and that's why it was jumpie at 1st gear,,anyway I have no idea where to start to replace it and I haven't looked for it in YouTube, any of you gentlemen have experience in replacing it I would really appreciate the help, thanks in advance fellas

    Thank you banzai for the help, in this old truck in over two years I've fixed pretty much the whole system because everything hurt at some point, when I got it ,it was leaking so I've changed the slave cylinder, the hose ,and the clutch master, the clutch master cylinder was leaking oil inside the firewall so I changed it too and no more leaks thank God but I have hat problem of jumpiness when I start on first gear, I did have a little bit of play between the rod and the stopper so i adjust it and thank you for your advice hopefully that was my problem I'll let you know once I drive it, thanks again banzai, god bless you fella

    How is it going Mike,, my 1st gear always gets the engine a little jumpy when i release the clutch to get moving, and it's only the 1st one because after that it's smooth gear changing, do you know what it could be

    Thanks for your help Mike I really appreciate your help ,I'm sure karma is treating good for helping people, anyway I have the original service manual for the 1973 620 and I discovered that the regulator is adjustable and it is but the one I have is after market so it didn't have the adjustable screws so I was just bending the points and after 50 tries of trying to adjust it I was able to keep it at 25 v at idling and 33 v at max which is enough until I get the new one I ordered from Amazon for 24 bucks which is not adjustable anymore and maybe completely electronic which is great anyway thanks Mike and good night.

    I was going to Walmart anyway and my battery was due to change so I've bought a new one today and I installed it so I know is not the battery, so it's probably the regulator because it was making a lot of noise but I cleaned the connections and it's better but still high voltage, what do you think?

    Thanks Mike, I'll try to fix my stock first, I've noticed my voltage is up to 16v when I'm driving and my regulator is vibrating should I change my regulator or my alternator

    How is it going mike, do you know how to eliminate the voltage regulator and buy an alternator with an internal regulator for my 1973 620 ?

    How is it going guys,,,,,,Clutch problem solved, thanks fellas, I have a new question ,my heater core shut off valve started leaking so I removed it, my question is can I install a universal shut off valve and have it completely closed on the hot weather??,,, it won't affect the engine if there is no circulation of coolant though the heater core?
  15. I was ready to work on my brakes on Saturday with the drums off already and I needed to see the picture you posted about the brakes pads and for my luck I couldn't open the forum,,,anyway I installed new brakes and springs and I've discovered a couple of problems one the nut holding the bearing was a little loose so I torqued it same as the other side,,,the drum was hitting the caliper so I grinded it and I installed the new brakes on the opposite position as they were and it seemed to fix the problem, it doesn't jump and pull or lock to the left when I brake so I guess my problem is done, thanks Mike,,,
