datsun dreamer Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I have debated about using the shaved doors myself but just like the original look alot(I will keep them just in case)....The bed hooks are gone as well as the cab vent so it would flow together nicely, I do have bucket seats already just need to be reupholstered.....The blue '74 is in the truck section under "pictures of your truck":D Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Believe it or not, that Seafoam green was one of the rarest factory paint colors on a 620. Very common on 521s, but I've only seen a couple 620s that color. Though it doesn't look like original paint with the way the letters are overpainted. Quote Link to comment
