Charlie69 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 WOW!!! That is Beautiful!!! You will definitely not be able to loose that one in a large parking lot. Greiggy that was well worth the wait. That is the prettiest 620 cab I have seen. Are you going with a conventional 620 bed or the flat style? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Bloody hell i love the color ! Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 thanks charlie and pac.coast.datsun!! now its been sprayed it looks pretty good and im happy with it to a degree - the only level up from this would be to do a full show car with polished chassis and all that stuff that sits in the shed... its going to have a 620 tub on it. small things done to it - just a roll pan and shaved hooks/fuel door with a rhino bed lining in the back.

Mexs Garage Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Looking good man. Where is the tray at? More picks I say. I started on mine last night. After our talk the other day I had a brain fart, I'm going to graph a 720 front clip onto mine. The 2 L20's rock up today, you dont want to come down and help me build one do ya.

Greiggy Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 can do if you want man. i havent built an L20 up before but id imagine it wouldnt be too difficult tray is back in about 2-3 weeks hopefully enough time for me to get the main cab stuff done. Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looks great cool truck Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 got some toys over the last couple of days bilstein shocks for all 4 corners ( able to be re-valved to what tension is required) all new steering arms and centre rod upper control arm bushes ( i had to use my old ones to get it rolling upper control arm bump stops ( little acorn looking rubber things) new brake pad shim kit as mine went missing from the pull down lightened chromoly flywheel - apparently shatter proof my box of dynamat Greddy remote oil filter and greddy oil cooler kit. Turbosmart E-boost street electronic boost controller Autometer 3 3/8 tacho to fit in the stock location ( i cant find a stock tacho to use its too much annoyance. ordered my exhaust manifold for the turbo. should be able to progress nicely once i get cracking on it. need to order a new idler arm and wait for the steering box to come back from being built but that is about where im at as of today.

Greiggy Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 small update - am starting to put the wiring harness through the datto today - my windows should be done tomorrow or tuesday at the latest - got the dummy motor and the OS Giken gearbox in there at the moment so the exhaust manifold can be finished. - dropping seats out to auto trimmers hopefully this arvo if they are at home - gotta finish off one more seat rail then they are done. - brakes are sorted got braided lines done and all the calipers are assembled - have to repaint the brake booster and install the proportioning valve then thats the front brakes done - diff still needs to be built just waiting on the fellow who is doing it to get some spare time 1 Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 That is one nice truck. Going to be awesome when its finished. Brakes look good too. Larry 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hi Greiggy, Your truck is really coming along. I think the wait on the paint & body work was well worth it! It came out BEAUTIFUL! This will be by far the nicest 620 that I have had the pleasure of watching the build. The detail and extent of your build says volumes about you as a person. Well done and keep up the good work and the patience. 1 Quote Link to comment

Well done and keep up the good work and the patience. Thanks or the comments charlie - im really flattered!!! it has been a long and tiresome process with getting the panel and paint completed but now that stage is nearly over its a good sign. Thanks again about the comments on the quality of the build. It will be the first and most likely the only car i will modify for a while to come so i am trying to take my time in doing it right without short cutting anything... thanks ! Quote Link to comment
