Rubbermans 620 KC

[ezcruiser]

Seems like you could just get the tumblers replaced or rearranged to match and have a key cut that will work both. I have seen datsun lock tumbler/pinning kits on ebay and craigslist for like 8 bucks but are usually 20-50 smackers. I believe some toyotas and subarus used the same lock cylinders....:confused: I'm not a locksmith by any means though:blink:. I would get at least 2 or 3 locksmith opinions!

 

Don't see any datsun ones right now, but here is an example of a pinning kit for Chrysler: Chrysler Pinning Kit

Hey Rusty can't you take one of the locks to a lock smith and have a key cut to fit it ?

 

x2 this is what i did for my chevy

[yello620]

I didnt get door keys to my 620 when i bought it, so i took both door lock cylinders and the ignition switch to a locksmith. Told them i wanted one key to fit all three cylinder. An hour later it was done and it only cost me $14.:D

They re-pinned all three cylinders and cut me two new keys for them.

Thanks fellas, looks like a locksmith it is. I was thinking the age of the truck, that a locksmith wouldn't have the correct pieces and parts for the tumblers, I guess they are pretty basic. All the years that I've owned 620's, I've never had to deal with this problem.

Yeah I am pretty sure your local lock smith will be able to handle it for you . Let us know the update when you get it figured out :thumbsup:

[Rubberman]

Finally got the time and the weather cleared up to do the pass. door. Here's some pics. Also the window felt strips that i had gotten from JC whitney are the wrong size. They fit perfect, but are not wide enough when I roll up the window, the window flops around. Have to look into that one.

Had to do alittle touch up on a run spot.

Thanks again Daniel, haven't had time to get with a locksmith yet. I'll throw an update on here when I get it figured out.

Got my doors on and adjusted. Dang, it's been awhile since I've lined some doors up. They're lining up good and tight, makes me want to do some adjusting on ole whitey, my daily driver. Here's some pics.

Congrats, great work, Thanks for sharing.

[Rubberman]

Thanks fellas, well, got everything buttoned up tonight, except no windows until I get the felt situated, but took her out of the garage under her own power. Steerings good and tight, brakes are great, rides smooth, but I need alot of tuning on the carb and timing, she idles fine but no power, real slugish, like it's just bogging down when I hit the gas. I wanted to do a video, but I wanted to do alittle test run first, so I don't look like more of a dumbarse than I already am. As soon as I get the kinks out of her (fingers crossed), I'll get a video up.

Update here, well I did some searching and finally decided to watch Hainzs video to see what I could learn. Hainz is the man, at the end of the video when he was installing the dist. he pointed out the firing order of 1342, well, I had that right, just going in the wrong direction,(yes, I'm an idiot) I had it in my head the firing order went clockwise, which I could have swore that was right, but I went out and put the firing order in counterclockwise and bam she runs great. I drove her down the road, just got to do some fine tuning, she's got alittle hesitation when I kick her in.

[Rubberman]

After finally figuring her out, here's a video of her running right. I'll get her tuned in tomorrow and get a video up on the road. (Damn, I sound like a country hick, oh yeah, I am a country hick)

[slam_dat_sun]

Aint nothing wrong with it , I am a country hick to and your truck is awesome ............

[Braden]

wow man looks awesome, i bet it feels great knowing you have one of the nicest trucks on the forum!!!!! way to go man, sounds good too!!!

[Rubberman]

Slam, you da man. Thanks Ghetto, I don't know about the best, but I've tried to do a good job on her. It's about 1:00 in the morning and just got thru watching some MMA fights on the tube and now I'm heading back out to the garage to do some tinkering. My wife of course thinks I'm nuts, but she knows I'm alittle excited. I've been workin on it for so long and just about there. I took it out on the interstate earlier and she drives great, alittle cold without the door glass in, but the windshield could have been out, I just wanted see how she drove. I was waiting for something to fall off that I forgot to tighten up, but so far so good.

Sounds real nice. Looks like the doors are a different shade of blue in the pictures.
