Willdatsun Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just read the whole thread. Love it. Do you still have it? Has anyone ever fitted power steering to a 620? and how? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Still have it. It's back in the garage for some winter work. Scored a nice drivers fender. Thanks to Big Schlink, my brother and Shonuff Shipping Services. Some tear down. Gonna get the CPU into the cab, raise the front shock towers, replace the carrier bearing (thanks Mike) and put in the 3:54 diff I have for it. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks for the heads up, I will have to see how it does. It came from the same truck as the 5-speed I am using. It was behind a Z24. At least my speedo will be rightish now. :lol: Quote Link to comment

Clayton I totally agree with Clayton on this one. I HAD a 3:90 for that truck and sold it before I got around to installing it. Picked up the 3:50's and really wasn't that happy with the take off or lack of power on the hills. I was great for cruising, but sucked otherwise. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I got a 4:10 set for it if it sucks :) Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey Clayton, if you unhappy with your stock L20, I'd love to have it back. Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 How high will the shock towers be raised ? I did mine 2 inches & run stock length shocks & she rides smooth. I did have to cut openings in the wheel wells so the upper shock bolts cleared. Quote Link to comment

I thought my ECU died because of the moisture under the passenger seat . . . so I'm moving it under the glove-box ECU will be under the dash or on the passenger kick panel up high. How high will the shock towers be raised ? I did mine 2 inches & run stock length shocks & she rides smooth. I did have to cut openings in the wheel wells so the upper shock bolts cleared. I plan to add 2" and will probably bend the inner fender to clear if needed. PICS, love them were are they at. what size tires are on those titan wheel Added some below Tires are 225/40-R18 Me 2 and i'm L series in my truck,funny tho in forth i'll top out at 80-90 Haha I can break 100. With the new gears, well I will have to see Some pics, been slow going. I've developed a pain in my pelvis that the Dr's can't figure out and the grandkid gave me the latest sickness, but there is still forward progress. :hmm: Here is a tip. I got new bumpers for the hood and when I tried to install them the pigtail popped off. So I used some of 'the right stuff' gasket maker to put them on. Holds good and took a bit of effort to remove them for the current work. Cleans up easy as well. I will be putting them back on the same way Quote Link to comment
DOnatello Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 to put on the new hood bumpers put a little lithium on the "stud" on the back , stick it in the hole and grab the back of it behind the fender with a set of pliers and pull like hell till it pops in place. ;) Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Did that and they popped right off. Probably not NOS... Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I see you have disc brakes on a '77 ... can you just bolt on the brakes from a 1979 truck? I think so, it looks close to the same setup Quote Link to comment

I think so, it looks close to the same setup I think that just might work really good. But you should really start a new topic so we all can see your question. :rofl: :poke: Quote Link to comment

LOL! :) I did not remember that detail. I do remember having a 1979 parts truck at home and looking at it closely I could see it would not be a bolt-on process onto my 1976 truck so I tossed the whole truck after taking other items. I may have reported my findings to NWDE. :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 It took a bit of digging, but here you go..... page 1, post 1....none other than YOU Mr. Bleach :) 24 pages of the origins. Too bad the pics don't come up :( http://ddgonzal.members.winisp.net/nwde/2005.htm Quote Link to comment
