Bought this truck about 4 months ago & have been working on it here & there. Just finished painting it Colonial Red Satin with Ivory wheels and Datsun lettering.

Thanks all 4 your appreciation. This is what I had envisioned when getting another 620. I am so happy with this truck. I WONT be selling this one! lol The paint is Rustoleum Colonial Red Satin. Not flat but not real shiny. Just a nice smooth finish. The next thing I will be doing id the roll in bed liner.

Thanks for letting us know what the red paint code is. Can you give us the color for the wheels?

 

I love the way your truck looks!

Thanks Bob. I am really pleased with the way it tuned out too. The wheels I painted Krylon Ivory. The taillite housings got painted silver metallic. I am not a red guy either but this red is sweet!

Got some more stuff done on my 620. Its my Daily Driver now that the gOOn is down getting a transplant. So, I finally decided to put my EI matchbox in since the truck was starting to miss. Runs like a top now. I also put in some horns that the PO of the gOOn had put behind the grille. I liked them for the 620 cuz they color matched :)

 

I also installed some rear Air Shocks. The ones that were on it were toast. Its nice having the air shocks. I can even haul lumber in it now! It rides a helluva lot better.

 

Last but not least, I put a suicide knob on the steering wheel. It is nice for slow moving turns with 1 hand. I always seem to have something in the other hand; coffee, cell, remote etc....

 

For some fucking reason I cant post pics in this post so, this all never happened!

Yeah man...sweet 620! Great choice for the satin red! It looks so great! I also love the creamy rims :D

 

The stance looks great...what is suspension combo for the back?

 

Heres my 521...Sorta looks like it might be your truck's brothah from another mothah!

Hey, those look like 3 inch blocks in the back...yeah?

 

I just found out that those steering wheel knobs are actually illegal in most states! :o

 

I have one on my Simca and am GOING to put one on my 521 too...but I will wait to see if anyone freaks on me about it...

 

Your truck looks great man! :D
