Hitman Cody 2130 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Is there anyone out there that makes a 5 Lug hub kit for both the front and rear of a 620? And if not would anyone else be interested in getting a few kits made? Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I had the local machine shop redrill the hubs on my '73 about 10 years ago. I think they charged me like 300 to do it, that included new bearings. I still have the whole set up, I took them off when I sold the truck. Quote Link to comment
Hitman Cody 2130 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 So it something that pretty much any machine shop whould be able to do....? Quote Link to comment
LCDC Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 This might be the truck you are looking for cody, http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/1177765174.html Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 So it something that pretty much any machine shop whould be able to do....? Any machine shop should be able to do it, whether they would or not is another question. I had them drill it for a 5 on 4.5 lug pattern if I remember right...so I could run the wheels I had on my toyota. Quote Link to comment
Hitman Cody 2130 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thats the same bolt patteren I would have them drilled for, I want to run some 16x8 0 offset wheels from XXR and they dont make them in 6 bolt... :( Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I am going to convert to ball joints, disc brakes, and toyota 5 lug on my 77. First I need my 77 to have 720/D21 spindles and brakes. To do this I am going to get these: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=3321 Then use spindles, calipers, and lower control arms from a D21. Now I need to get it over to 5 lug. This is were I take the D21 spindles and have them machined to accept the Toyota PU hub and roter. Local machine shop? No way. This guy: John Yoakum laynrockers@gmail.com has been doing it for years, his price was $110-$120, don't know what he charges now. So bam, there it is, all of it. Ball joints, Disc, and 5 lug. If, you bought all new parts(Roters, ball joints, bearings and seals, everything except the lower control arms and the hubs), this is going to cost you around $600. But, that is all new stuff, I'm sure it could be done using used stuff from the local pick and pull for a lot less. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 any particular year on the Toy hub? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 PM G-man. He had his hubs & drums redrilled so he could mount his Porsche rims. Most machine shops can do it. Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 any particular year on the Toy hub? That Would be a good question for the guy that machines the spindles. But, I believe any of the late 80's up to '97 or whenever they became Tacomas. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Tacoma should get me close enough :) Thanks Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't think that Tacoma hubs will work. And don't try to find bearings and seals to make it work without machining the spindles. They will break. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I don't think that Tacoma hubs will work. And don't try to find bearings and seals to make it work without machining the spindles. They will break. What breaks? The spindle? The bearings? The hubs? I did a quick check on rockauto to confirm my memory.....the '87 Toy hubs use the same inner outer bearings as the '87 nissan. So, the only real question is the length of the spindle and the backside clearance. There's a ton of chevy years that use the same too. Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 From What i have read, the bearing rub lines in the spindles than it breaks. If you search for "nissan 5 lug conversion" over at http://www.streetsource.com you will get a ton of info about it. Or email John, he is good at responding and answering questions.

Suspect Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I used a bolt on 6 Lug to 5 Lug conversion spacer on my truck. It costed me $75 on ebay. I can use any 5 on 4 1/2 rim, (Nissan 350Z, Mustang, GM FWD, DODGE FWD and RWD, etc.) on my spacer. Quote Link to comment
pas4116 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 please lmk how this looks on the truck...i was wondering how far out the wheels stick with these installed... Quote Link to comment
Suspect Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Well it depends on the offset of the wheels you are using. These are my 18's with 215/35/18 tires. These I just got in the last week, 17" with 235/50/17 but they are obviously too big for how low my truck is. Quote Link to comment
pas4116 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 does thet ride any different? and also where did you get your hood louvered i love that look... Quote Link to comment
Suspect Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 It rides a little ruff because I have the torzen bars unhooked in the front. I can tolerate it, I just drove it on a 600 mile one way trip. I think the truck handles good on corners, I rarely have to slow down for any corner unless its a 90 deg. Its comparable in handling to my Miata, but I think the Miata is just a little better. As for the hood, I bought that hood for a junkyard about 5 years ago. They had 2 trucks, I only had enough for the hood. I came back the next week to get the console, doors, fenders, anything I could think of but they crushed both trucks. It was a big disappointment.

volksmike Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 least you got the hood, that is several hundred worth of louvers. Quote Link to comment
Suspect Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Yep, I've been happy with the hood so far, it needs work in places but overall its decent. I paid $40 for the hood. Back to wheels, I'd like to find a set of lightweight 17" or 18" wheels that are 6 lug. This seems impossible to find. I like my adapters but I think to get onto a road course, the wheels have to be bolted directly to the vehicle without spacers or adapters. I'm nearly ready to build my performer motor for my truck.
