datsunaholic Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Lessee, how did I remove the perfect crackless dash from my rusted-out '79 cab... Oh, yes, it involved a 10-lb sledge and an old bedspread. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 What are you having issues with? The Dash should be fairly straight forward, no? I think it is a total of 5 bolts and the top 3 screws... The top 3 are a pain in the ass. Someone suggested a socket with the phillips head in it and doing it that way. Don't for get the two cold air vent knobs, defrost hoses, steering column bolts?, heater control cables, wire harness, I forget what else since I had one out. Quote Link to comment

PtheDude Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 My perfect dash has arrived. Its smoother than my baby's bottom! Thanks to Bleach delivery service! Quote Link to comment
KA620 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Pics of the dash are in need, you gotta show that off! Quote Link to comment
nismopu Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 lol everyone says dash removal in the 620 sucks but I dont think anyones had the pleasure of removing one from a z car. That dash sucks beyond comparison, except maybe this porche 930 I worked on once; we had to cut the windshield out to remove the dash. peace. Quote Link to comment
KA620 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 oh yea, i know all about z car dash removals. Its tons of fun especially when the customer wants you to reinstall all the heater components and vents all over again... Quote Link to comment

PtheDude Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 IT LIVES!! IT LIIIIIVESSSS!!!! We are full flame pimpin now! Pretty much fired right up! Lost a cab side heater hose on my first freeway jaunt, but other than that, SHORTY IS ROLLING ONCE AGAIN! It's comletely night and day, what putting a 620 5 speed into the truck is like. 1-2-3 still go quick, but 4th and now FIFTH are smoooth! Pretty much 4 speeds are a friggin joke. If your rolling one get it out of your truck. Missions yet unfinished: 1. Pass side floor rust 2. fix the fucking leak, yeo 3. stock radio and tach in 4. my $100 crackless dash Quote Link to comment

PtheDude Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 thanks Doug, they do look really nice. I know its not slammed on 18's but that's just not my thing. I'm slowly going thru it, tinkering with stuff, matching ignition/door locks, for example. soon it will be... Sano75 Shorty! Quote Link to comment
