Phirus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Cool, a hell of a lot nicer than this p.o.s. The suspension job looks very clean and what I'm guessing are titan wheels look great on your truck. Are you looking for a breather and right side logo? Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I like it a lot! Is that a Bushes Baked Beans can on top of your carb? Roll that beautiful bean footage! :D Quote Link to comment
Phirus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Some tint on those windows will be a huge plus for that truck. I'm guessing that's original paint or if it's not it's a very close match to mine! Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 what tires are you running?? i like the tread pattern, what size also? Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Its actually in primer and yes the cantilever works very well. In fact I asked HACK when his was done and he said like 3 months after mine so if ever you see him say "first ever cantilever" its BS, I asked him nicely to change it. And yes the bean can is a perfect fit. Quote Link to comment
Phirus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Fuck hack he didn't do any of the work on that truck lol he just thinks he can make some money from it. Damn good primer lol: Check this site out I've shopped for a friend on here for his lowered 85 mustang, did wonders. Quote Link to comment

Phirus Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Looks like when raised it has plenty of ground and turning clearance. Quote Link to comment
kaoss Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 How much did you BD it? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 So glad you posted pix of your setup..remember seeing pix of it @ Drop zone if i remember correct. Welcome to the site too :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 yeah man hella nice truck can you give more specifics on it like body drop and what ever else youve done to it thanx Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Well I have a laundry list of stuff I have done and am doing to the truck. its a 3" traditional body drop and about a 1" stockfloor due to all of the dragging I've done with it. I had some 5 inch wide pieces of 14 gauge steel bent into a Z shape to make the floor side plates. I have lots of pics of reinforcing the frame and some of the bodydrop I will add later. The reason i had to reinforce the frame was that I dragged all the way through the bottom of it and it was starting to bend in all these weird places. To answer the other questions possed, YES it was at the last Drop Zone, Yes when the front is at full lift I still can turn around in a sub-division but I have learned how to drive it less than a 1/2" off the ground most everywhere in town. Almost forgot, I cut the stock bench seat 3" in the front and 4" in the back so when you are sitting in it you wouldnt know it was bodied. I also had to cut the stock steering shaft up and added the universal joint out of an Isuzu Trooper from the Junk Yard (heavily modified I might add). I didnt Z the core support section of the frame I just made a relief cut for the radiator to sit into the cross member and reinforced it. so I had to cut off the stock radiator support mounts and fab new ones.This last pic is crappy sorry lotta phone pics in here.

Beater620 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 What size tire are you running??? I have on that I plan on taking to the doors if possible... It will be on steel wheels and white walls... I also want to keep the stock hood... If possible... lol Truck looks damn good!!! Quote Link to comment
Hyphy Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 kinda smirked when i saw this. Not trying to be an ass, but the rear isnt a cantilever setup and the front is, but canti'd to an existing lever suspension. Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Im running 225 35 18 federal supersteel tires. They are available at Les Schwab. As for the cantilever it is in the front. The rear is called a bag on bar setup, It is a style of cantilever but I dont consider it that way. It does get more lift than bag over axel and rides one hell of alot better. Quote Link to comment
77 rustrat Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 look seriously dude your truck is really nice. but could you look at this and let me know what you think about it. "as for the mono semi airbag. i did some thought on this and i think i am also gunna do this. i was thinking about finding the largest airbag possible and mounting it in the center of the bed right behind the cab and using a cantilever system to raise and lower the rear by having two pivot points between the bag and axle and then having to rods run down to the axle. i had also thought about the side to side movement but i feel sure that the shocks would control a large part of this. what do you guys think?" "what if you simply took a straight bar and mounted it between the two cantilever arms then it would make it a solid piece right and then made brakets on the side of the top of the bag and mounted a shock on either side of the bag then the cantilever is solid and the bag is somewhat solid but will still go up and down. or am i looking at this wrong?"

76bullit Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 thanx for the hellos. As for the mono bag, a friend of mine is doing the same thing and I will suggest the same thing to you that I said to him, make a sway bar that can handle the travel. And make sure you have 4 valves for the front bags. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 holy fuck that frame is gnarly... Quote Link to comment
hacked521 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 welcome dude! glad to see yuh on here. are you gonna end up radiusing the corners of your cantilever brackets? i think it would help improve the look of an allready awesome looking 620. your truck looks good dude, would be nice to see a true cantilever setup in the rear also eventually. craftsmanship looks good, how hard is it to get in and out of that thing? haha Quote Link to comment
LAYEDOUTB2K Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Nice 620. I love the look of the Titans tucking way up there. I remember seeing it at the last 3-day dropzone. I was there in my friend's primered black 620. Quote Link to comment
76bullit Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yeah I was at the last drop-zone my truck was still just bagged. I did the bodydrop since and havent been able to make it to any out of state show. Quote Link to comment
