Farmer Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Is that a gun rack? SICK! Yep. Might use it for fishing poles instead. Larry Quote Link to comment
fuzz's '71 510 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Nice find, mine had a gun rack to. Makes you wander how tough you can look in a 620 with a gun rack :P Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I think that a '77. Here's why. It has the wrong grill, could have been changed but it also has an external voltage regulator and a points distributor. This adds up to a '77. Not earlier because it's badged with a deluxe emblem available in '77. If a '78 it would have disc brakes on the front. You can look but I bet they are drum on the front. Larry, it doesn't change the fact that you got a super deal on a great looking 620. Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 You scored!! I swear,one of these days I'm going to rent a 6 car hauler and head out there and pick up a shit load of Datsuns and bring them back here. :hyper: Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 The date stamp says 5/76, title says '76 but I know its considered a '77 release. KingCabs were only for 77-79, 78-79 for disc brakes. I did notice somethings look out of place. Theres no overflow bottle wires leeding to nowhere. Things that need to be fix. New window rubber all around, Carb, over heating, seatbelts replace, blinker control replace(cant remember techno name)brakes bled and a few other stuff. Thanks for the comments Larry Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Nice find, mine had a gun rack to. Makes you wander how tough you can look in a 620 with a gun rack :P MINE???!!! Dude, I have totally been wanting a gun rack in it! Why do I not have a gun rack??? I was gonna say something about how awesome HIS gun rack is.... It is freakin sweet! I need a place to mount this in one of my Datsuns. my other project. Oh yeah, Sweet truck! has to be the toughest looking butterfly I've ever seen... and you CAN look extremely tough in a Datsun with a gun rack. Especially if it has badass butterflies on each side. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Larry I just checked and the KC came out in Feb '76 or the last quarter of that production year. Quote Link to comment

Plastic Mags ? If so how do they feed ? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Just think, you could take that bumper off, turn it in for scrap and get all your money back :rofl: Looks cool, all of my little mini trucks have had a gun rack in them. I hate it when they do that only for the reason of putting holes in the cab. Creates a point for it to start rusting. Good deal tho! Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 the mag pul mags feed well, im not sure about the other mags out there but i like the magpul because they wont scratch your shit up, i got 5 for free plus one when i bought my smith a few months ago, the smith and wesson moe is a good deal, i just wish it was .308 though, something baout shotting a .22 just gets wussy after awhile.

datsunaholic Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have 2 '76 KC 620s (one is a parts shell at this point). Titled as '76, and the emissions compliance sticker states 1976 model year. There are very few differences in '76-77 model year trucks, though. One difference is that a '76 has the emissions compliance sticker in the door frame or sometimes on the cowl, whereas a '77 has it on the underside of the hood. Also '76's had no water overflow bottle (expansion tank), whereas '77s do. There's no bracket for it on the true '76s, and the blow off line for the cap just runs down the side of the radiator and vents to the street. There are also some minor wiring differences (what kind of plugs were used at the steering column, for instance). Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 For $650 you scored !!!!!! & it came with a CB too ?....nice :D Quote Link to comment

Farmer Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Changed out the wheels. The stockers dont fit on my front hubs on my '78 620. Actually there '90 hardbody hubs. Also I found some rust. both rocker panels have some, but not holes. Hopefully easy fix. Larry Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Love those rims.... Had the exact same ones on my first Datsun. And yes, Magpul is the shit. Pmags practically never fail. Beat the hell outta the USGI ones. Can't wait to put my Magpul stickers accross from my Ratsun stickers on my trucks.. Just gotta get some Ratsun stickers, and my trucks running right.
