Damn that shit is clean man. Very nice find! I can see a ding or two, they aren't that bad. You going to leave it this color? Its so original I'd just keep it as is and drive it.

Dude!!! Nice little truck. I had a '72 in the same color. I also used to own an '80 toyota pickup, both trucks went everywhere and were awesome dependable! Nice find :D

[Skib]

Welcome to Ratsun :cool:

[ruckycharms]

Thanks, you guys are rad. Yeah, I was stoked. Now to find some more 620 dudes in Orange County- you guys out there?

 

Anyone have word on when the next meeting at Nick’s Superburger in Torrance is?

For sure it' s gonna stay this colour for now. I need several interior pieces however. I am fortunate that the inside door panels are minty. But dash is shot, and gauge surround is cracked to hell.

Man there was so much crappy “chop work” done here and there…

nice 620 awsome color

[darrel]

shouldn't need a cat, even cali didn't have cats in '73. You may have mistaken the resonator for a cat.

[pharouh]

Nice truck! Welcome!

I like the color too!

[TrevDaddy]

I think thats my color... 931? Makes me miss my girl :( but it's bittersweet b/c it's proof that there are good ones out there! :cool:

[Radim]

A Local! Nice Truck.

Darrel is correct.

[74datsun620]

Cool pickup!!!!!!!!!!!

[ruckycharms]

Yo Radim, hit me up man if you got 620 also. I don't know anyone out here who has one. Everyone in the OC is so concerned with their new BMW's and f**kin Luis Vuitton bags!

 

Some of the younger guys are getting into classic Japanese cars since that whole gay AE86 movement, but like everything around here it's just a passing fad to them.

 

Yeah I know I don't need a cat, but my buddy at Magnaflow recommended it to keep the exhaust smelling cleaner and to reduce noise. Is this correct?

 

Pardon my rookie status please..

[datzenmike]

Depends on which cat you put on. Some require special fuels and or engine controls. All will produce a fair amount of heat from oxidizing (burning) wasted gas. These old trucks weren't as efficient as today's cars and it's going to get HOT. I wouldn't (for the price) just add a resonator or a good turbo non flow through, muffler.

[alleycat]

sweet.

[ruckycharms]

sweet.

 

Yeah, got my new carrier bearing installed last night. Picking her up in the afternoon. My buddies 620 was stolen last week in norcal. It's a rare colour so, that SOB better hide it well.

 

anyone have a set of headers for sale?

[alleycat]

are you buying new slots or used? i like that look.

[DatDoug]

Very nice truck my 620 brother. :thumbup: She is a sweety. As for the header, you wont gain anything other than appearance. The stock 73 mani is good to go.

[ruckycharms]

Already have the slots on bro. I kinda got em in trade. I put new tires on, but I think very soon down the line imma get different wheels. Then my slots will be up for sale.

Man, I keep hearing different stuff from different people. This is where I am right now:

 

1) Magnaflow Muff and Cat ( Purchased cheeeap! )

 

But, my own mechanic says I will definitely get some gains with headers. I trust him, but I'm still hearing different things from everyone.
