Weaver Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 *drools* It's... it's, so beautiful! Your attention to detail is amazing. Also, I like that paint booth. Is it an old garage that was converted, or was it made for painting? Quote Link to comment
bdbseven Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's a former UPS service center where they did fleet work. The paint booth was good to go with a little cleaning. Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 WOW, That has got to be one of the cleanest 4x's around. Makes me want one even more. I would have to add a little more lift and wider tires for the TONKA truck look. Quote Link to comment
herculesinwyoming Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 my dad bought one like that brand new back in 78 i think it was. i havnt seen another that clean ever since my dad sold his. he sold his because, engageing and disengageing the 4wd was a pain, and he said it was not very good on the pavement, hard to steer and a little squirly, maybe the dealer didnt install the parts very well, i hope others are better. I always like the look of the 4x4 620 you have done a mighty good job there Quote Link to comment

Shaggs2Dope Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 I really just wish I had the patience to fully restore my Datsun. At least the Weber is going back on it. I really wish I had a 4x4 one tho, would be sweet and functional for all sorts of jobs. Quote Link to comment
bdbseven Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey Mike. I'm in the process of painting the fender flares and brush guard also the roll bar too. I just wanted to put It back together so I could drive it before the rainy season here in Florida. Believe it or not I still have a ways to go. Ahhh If I only did'ent have to work...

yello620 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I found some more pics on the camera so here goes: I have never heard of this particular conversion company. Can we get any other more detailed pics of how they did the conversion to 4X? Once again, truck looks great.. Quote Link to comment
