Rubbermans 620 KC

[Rubberman]

Thanks Ghetto, yeah that stuff's not too expensive. I got it off ebay. I don't think I got a pic of it, but I also put it on the roof of the cab. Do you ever head down to Gatlinburg? If so, we'll have to meet up some time. I've got a ways to go on this, have to make new door panels, back panel, and figure what I'm gonna do about seats. I was going to redo the originals, but they're not very comfortable. Got to start checking the yards.

i know where a standard cab 620 is up here that has a decen bench seat that you could get redone, you probably already have one though, or did the king cabs even come with a bench seat? i found a professional guy up my way that said he would do mine for 225$ i like bench seats myself but buckets would be cool, on second thought my girlfriends dad works at the nissan dealer, tonight he drove home a 2004 pathfinder with black leather seats, thats what you need, those baby's were sweet, i was actually thinking of trading in my silverado for it

$225 is a good price. But I'm going with buckets. Gonna build a console and cover it for between the seats. I have a bench in my 79 standard cab (daily driver) The guy I bought it off of about 8 years ago had it redone and it still looks new. I've been looking at some racing seats on ebay, but kinda pricey. The cheapest ones I could find that I liked were about $270 with shipping, I guess thats not too bad. Probably for that price they're junk.

You need to get your GF's dad to check on some old OE parts from Nissan for your truck.

[Braden]

hey i just had a thought, you may not be interested but i was down in tenn the other day at marlars wrecking in oneida and saw a brand new chevrolet cobalt that i guess fell off the delivery truck, the car still had plastic covering the paint, anyways it had brand new bucket seats in it, they were a light grey color, you might get them kinda cheap, just a thought, my friend was thinking about getting them and putting them in his s-10

[Braden]

actually i have been trying, ive been in there 5 times, the first time the guy pulled up some parts but he said he needed my vin number to verify the would fit,and that parts that old werent in the system, i came back and gave him my vin and then he couldnt find shit for me, said he had to call nissan directly and that he would give me a call back, so 5 days later i go in there to see what the heck is going on and slip a trick on him, i gave him some part numbers for some shifter bushings, he pulls them right up!!!! so he never called me back and then pulled up parts that were too old to be on the computer :confused::confused::confused:, i think we need a new parts guy, or i just need a crapload of part numbers :blink::blink:

Got the lights in the cab mounted with the upgrade on the front rearview mirror.

[Rubberman]

Did alittle wiring before installing the new back taillights and also installed the back window louver.

[fontana620]

Like the louvers, Thats old school for sure. Your truck is looking great. Keep up the hard work. Love it. Guy.

[78kingcab]

WOW super clean, looks to be one of the nicest....love to see them get done right.....your hard work has really payed off so far....love your upgrades

[Rubberman]

Did alittle repair work on the rear taillight assemblies, threw some paint on them and installed the new taillights and new rubber bumpers.

[Bob3]

Looking good! :)

[Rubberman]

thanks Bob, trying do alittle every evening. Things that I need, some bumperette brackets for the back, the dash was trash, so I trashed it, so I need to find a dash. Dash doesn't have to be perfect, I'm gonna cover it anyway. I'm gonna get some racing seats off ebay. Got everything else ready to go on her.

[Farmer]

Really clean. One day, hopefully mine will look that good

Very nice rubberman! Digging that louvered window! Keep on rockin it!

[Braden]

wow!!1 thats looking awesome, the louvers are a nice touch, that is super unique, i like the orange rear end also, and im definitely digging the taillights, where did you find those at?

[Rubberman]

Thanks Farmer, Fisch. Ghetto, I got the lights off ebay. They're pretty much on there all the time. Wanting to get my new front bumper mounted, but I can't find any small chrome bumper bolts at any auto stores around here.

[CharlieBucket]

great work! i love "brand new" datsuns that you see from time to time.

[Rubberman]

Thanks Charlie, I don't know about brand new, but I've tried. I think my wife is going to divorce me if I don't get this thing done soon. I'm either in the garage or on here. By the way charlie, you wouldn't happen to have a set of rear bumperette brackets for a 521 or 620? Or someone down that way that does.

[Rubberman]

Got a few things done. Put the new front bumper on. And put the vin. plate back on the door jam. Also mocked up and drilled the holes for the front peices and the crossbar for the new tonneau cover.

[bonvo]

that color is starting to grow on me man got a paint code?

[Rubberman]

Hey Bonvo, it's a early Chevy color, Medium Blue #56206, about the exact match to the early Datsun color Mtn. Fuji Blue. Got them to mix it up at Napa, 4-2-1 enamel. This was my first attempt at doing the painting myself. After shooting some and figuring out how much will cover with one can in the gun, it was pretty simple. Total for half gallon of paint, reducer and hardener, it was around $150.00. I've got a top feed Kolbalt paint gun from Lowes for $50.00.

[bonvo]

$200 paint job huh i like

[Rubberman]

Haven't done much, switched the rims from my daily driver to my KC. I like the black rims better.

I had some door seals off a 80's model 720.

Did alittle trimming.

Then alittle paint.

[Braden]
