OL YELLER Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 my parents were born in 55. me in 83. have i ever seen you driving around northridge? ive seen a very well maintained yellow 620 driving by csun, from your pics i think it was yours... More than likely not mine...I live on the other side of L.A.( out in Chino)..probably just a coincidence..Only time my truck has been out that way was to Thousand Oaks last Xmas..(brother in law)...nice to know someone has a good lookin Yellow one out there tho....

djmoreron Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 you know, i havent seen that truck in about 6 months and coincidently i saw it today parked nearby my house. im sure it wasnt yours now cuz the datsun logo on the tailgate was painted yellow and matches the rest of the truck. heh, speak of the devil....

73super Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Doesn't have to be a Datsun 8-track. In fact most guys back then installed under-dash units. You should have seen the huge 8-track monster that I mounted in my CJ5... it was suppose to be a floor mount unit, but I bolted it to the dash.. OK, I think I got carried away. I wasn't expecting to win all these auctions on Ebay... I now officially have over 100 8-tracks.. Guess I'd better start listening.. Some pretty interesting artists as well. Next project will have an underdash 8-track player (got one of those now too)... Ha! Groovy baby! :D Quote Link to comment

I like the inside of your cab.. very retro. I also like your canopy shell... I need to find a solid one like that with no windows for my 620. Nice job! :lol: Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Love it or hate it, You've got to appreciate the talent in crushed velvet interiors of the 70s and 80s. I plan to do Wasserman's Wonder up in blue C.V. and just purchased 20 yards. In "surfing" for C.V. ideas I ran across this a little bit ago. Check out these ideas!!! http://www.layitlow.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t365915-0.html 1 Quote Link to comment

Loren O Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yes, sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you either. I was really trying hard to meet as many fellow Ratsun people as I could, but there were still a lot I didn't get the chance to. 1 Quote Link to comment
