BigBlack620 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hey BEE can you send me a PM about how I can get the rear brackets for a 74 620 using the Trooper II calipers, if you're still offering those 1 Quote Link to comment
charolastra Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 do you make this brackets for 76' b210? 1 Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 you dont need them for a b210 as its already disk up front 1 Quote Link to comment
DruDown720 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Really if you guys want to know a better way to put disks on a 620 axel, there is a way to use factory nissian parts. Done the same way you do the 720 or the hardbody just have to the axel shafts truned down to run the whole pathfinder set up 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 are you talking about the front or rear? 1 Quote Link to comment
DruDown720 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Talking about the rear. On my front all I did was changes out the mount and caliper with the pathfinders as well 1 Quote Link to comment
cj8281 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have a set of front spindles, rotors, calipers, upper and lower control arms for a later 620, are they worth anything or should I just chuck them? I thought that they were able to be bolted directly to an older vehicle with drum brakes but apparently I was wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment

LT521 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 We're working on a 70, 521. Bought a Wilwood front disc kit they told me that the 620 kit would work. As soon as I got the rotor on I noticed it was loose so I'm guessing that the 620 hub is a bit different. I'm wondering if the 620 hub will work on the 521 spindle or any other advice would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 What does willwood know about Datsun truck brakes??? Read everything on this thread then type '521 disc brake swap' into the search engine. Research, research research. 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 You bought a kit with wilwood calipers or a kit from wilwood. Either way, the best place to start is with the place you bought it from. 2 Quote Link to comment
LT521 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 620. Is the OD of the alignment part of the hub that centers the drum/ rotor larger on the 620 than the 521? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 If you're referring to how sloppy the rotors are on the hub.....that's just how they are. The center hole on the passport rotor is huge so it relies on the lugs to get any alignment. The 7/16" studs on the 521 hub are a bit smaller than the 12mm studs on the 620 hub. Did you buy this kit second hand? If you bought it new....whoever sold it to you should have been able to answer your questions. 2 Quote Link to comment
AZhitman Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Dilemma time... After reading (probably TOO much) on this topic, it's time for me to "s*** or get off the pot" on my 620 build. Here's my situation: I have a clean 77KC with completed body & paint, interior, and a running engine. But, it's still a 77. I intend to VG swap it, so I'd like more modern suspension / braking. So, I purchased a pretty decent 79KC, with the intention of doing a complete frame swap. My thinking was, I could resto the frame while it's naked, build it the way I want, swap in the VG with the body off, and have a completely DONE truck. Obviously, this is a lot of work... Am I overdoing it? Can I get what I want without doing a full frame swap? How would you guys proceed? Mike, I'm especially eager to hear your thoughts. TIA for suggestions / feedback / guidance. 2 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have no clue about the frame swap itself. The new frame will give you ball joints, so you'll want to swap out the spindles/brakes for HB parts. By the time you rebuild the kingpins and do a brake conversion, the cost will be pretty similar to doing the spindle swap on the newer frame. The braking would basically match at that point since similar parts are used. In my opinion, the brakes themselves are about equal, so I'd base your decision on whether the rest of the swap is worth it. The ball joint suspension have the advantage down the road if you're keeping the rig. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If you are doing a frame off restore anyways then you would be ahead by using the ball joint frame. It also opens up options for drop spindles and the like. 1 Quote Link to comment
