Rubberman Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks Slam. I don't know about the 5 point harness Bonvo. I might later, but for now, it'll be the factory belts. I've been so busy with work lately, I can't find the time to finish up my doors. Instead of working this weekend, we're taking off tommorrow for camping at a VW show all weekend. We go twice a year for this show and haven't missed one in about 7 years, but I wouldn't mind missing this one to finish my truck. The wife and kids ain't having that. Quote Link to comment

Rubberman Posted October 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Here's some pics of the 78 parts truck I picked up. It was hit in the rearend and the guy pulled the motor and then let it sit. He said the factory A/C was working great when he pulled the motor. That's the only reason I got her, cause there ain't much worth using on her. If the frame wasn't bent, then I'd hold on to it incase I found a 77 or earlier to swap the cab and bed. I'm gonna strip her down, if it's reusable then it's coming off before she goes to the crusher. Quote Link to comment
deadmonkey Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Does it have a catalytic converter? I need to do an emissions test here in Idaho before they will let me re-register mine and I don't have a catalytic converter. Quote Link to comment

Rubberman Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Does it have a catalytic converter? I need to do an emissions test here in Idaho before they will let me re-register mine and I don't have a catalytic converter. I was underneath it before I hold it, but I can't remember. I'll check tommorrw. Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Alot of you are wanting pics of the underdash A/C setup. I'll take some pics tommorrow and put them up on here. Quote Link to comment
deadmonkey Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 ooh! I see dash/instrument panel plastic! I needs! is it in alright shape? OOH! I see a radiator overflow tank and washer fluid/motor! They any good? I needs!! All the ones I see in the junkyard are sun rotted and crumble when you touch them. OOOOH! I see a engine compartment light and switch setup. I NEEDS! Oh... what about the lower right side of the Bed!?... I need that piece in the corner just behind the rear wheel and right next to the rear blinker/tail/stop light assembly. It should be spot welded on and a 90deg bend where it meets the rest of the bed and is welded together.... if it is in good shape I would love to exchange some monies for it. It could just sniped/sawed/hacked off above the spot weld. I think the '78 should be the same as the '76 body. :drool: Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Here's a couple A/C pics, I'll get some up as I take it out piece by piece. Deadmonkey, everything you listed is in good shape, I'll have to test the washer pump, but the bed is trashed and no catylitic converter. Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Great pictures that is the set up I am looking for , every dog has his day and mine will come soon I hope . Thank you for the pictures Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'll second that comment. THANKS FOR THE PICS!! Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Had my local Nissan dealer try and locate me the back brackets for my bumperettes, and he did manage to locate one here out east. Not sure which side it is, to lazy to look it up right now. Part #85203-B5100 I think it's the passenger side? Cost me $28.00 for an OE bracket. I have plenty of scrap metal laying around, so I'll be making one exact opposite of this one. Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i am pretty sure you are going to have the nicest 620 in the southeast man. Funny that a/c setup is completly different different from my set-up in the 1974. I bet there are tons of different dealer add-on setups on these trucks. When its all done can i drop off mine? :lol: Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I am amazed that you found that bracket :lol: Quote Link to comment

I've been on the look out for another project. I want your B210. I'd luv to find one like yours. If ya come across any down that way, let me know. Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I am amazed that you found that bracket :lol: Yeah Daniel, the guy at Nissan has found me a few OE parts. I think he checks with all the east coast Nissan dealerships. Quote Link to comment

420n620 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Had my local Nissan dealer try and locate me the back brackets for my bumperettes, and he did manage to locate one here out east. Not sure which side it is, to lazy to look it up right now. Part #85203-B5100 I think it's the passenger side? Cost me $28.00 for an OE bracket. I have plenty of scrap metal laying around, so I'll be making one exact opposite of this one. that looks just like the ones I pulled off my 520, could you measure the distants where it bolts to the frame and where the bumperettes bolt on, center hole to center. I want to see if they are the same for the 520. thanks Edited October 13, 2009 by 420n620 changed it from 620 to 520 Quote Link to comment

Hell yeah Charlie, I think I remember seeing that at one time, but I was starting my 620 project so I didn't look in to it. See what he's wanting for it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hey 420, from the center of the first hole on the frame side to one side is 13" and to the other side is 14". The distance between the bumperette side holes is 9". I would think it would be the same as yours. Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hell yeah Charlie, I think I remember seeing that at one time, but I was starting my 620 project so I didn't look in to it. See what he's wanting for it. Thanks. It was on ebay before this guy bought it. I'll see what i can do. Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 what I got is 2 3/4" where it bolts to the frame and the measurement for the bumper is 11 1/4". So it sounds like the 520 bumper bracket is differant then the 620. Thanks for taken the time to do that. Quote Link to comment
