millerton Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hello all. First off "Dibbs" I'm looking to buy my first 620 and I found two that look like they could be the one....This always happens to me. Blonde or Brunette, Tits or Ass, king cab or single cab? truly one of life's hard questions. I'm looking for a daily driver to tinker with/ long term project. I like the older 620's and the 77 looks straight but the Kc is half the price with some body work already done. I left a message with them both so all the info you see is all you get Both would be a three hour drive for me just to look at them So i look to you, the powers that be. the 77 or the 79kc and why? 77 http://seattle.craig...1670402364.html 79kc http://seattle.craig...1668405886.html and yeah I'm a total noob but you can call me Ryan.

skunk Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 well im a bigger fan of the reg cabs, as far as looks go. But there are alot of people that like the looks of the kc better as well. I have one of each, and there is a hole lot more room in the KC. If your over 6 foot id say take the kc, theres also more room for a stereo and to lean your set back a bit. it can be hard to find buckets that fit well in the reg cab.But all even with all that i still like the reg cab better, but thats just me. when you dream about diving around in your bad ass little datsun truck what to you see? the kc or the reg cab. i know i see the reg cab every time.

ariascarlos1990 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I would get the KC! Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 go with the regular cab white one. king cabs are nice but you'll be siliconing the shit out of that sun roof before too long. the floor pan is probably on it's way to rust heaven. this sucks cause the kc has disc brakes and electronic ignition. besides the white one looks better.

izzo Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Extended cabs are nicer because of leg room by FAR. however, that blue KC has been on craigs list for a few YEARS. And i do mean years. 2 years ago he was selling it for 1500 with the motor out, and it had a nice paint job then. Not sure what hes been doing. Also, if you have him send you pictures. He rebuild the engine, and painted the top of the block where the head gasket goes...... I wouldn't trust that. I always say go with the king cab when people ask, but in this case, get the white one.

Red Flag! when you dream about diving around in your bad ass little datsun truck what to you see? the kc or the reg cab. i know i see the reg cab every time. Me too. thanks for all your input guys, I'm leaning towards the 77 but still waiting to hear back from the sellers. I'm nowhere close to 6ft so leg room is not big on my list, I really want disc brakes but was planing a conversion any how. Did the 77 model come with the L18 or L20? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 L20Bs after '75 Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 A L18 only came in the 1974 Datsun 620. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 KC been on craigs for a long time. You know people have gone to look at and yet, its still 4 sale. The 77 looks to be in good shape and ready to run. Not to much more you have to do to it. Larry Quote Link to comment

millerton Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Well he got back to me and sent his other photos too. Kinda made me laugh, The first thing his email said was "yea still got it, alota people are interested in it.....blows my mind !" I guess hanging in there for 2 years on Craigs is really paying off for him. So I have made up my mind. I'm going for the 77 reg cab. Thanks for all the help fellas, I'm sure I will be back for your Interweb super powers. Quote Link to comment
