kneesamo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Here is my 1973 PL620, a.k.a. Butterscotch Currently awaiting freshly rebuilt L20b. Assembled the bottom end last night, gonna grind the valve seats today and start putting the head together. Motor will consist stock block, U67 head, single 45dcoe, 4-2-1 cast ext. manifold, and '82 stanza dist. Chassis has Fineline front disc, 300zx master, removed bottom leaf from the rear to soften her up, and some poly-graphite bushings. Wheel and tires are 15x7.5(unknown off-sets) with 215/75-15 all-terrains. Interior is pretty ghetto, but I like it that way, if it appears as if there is nothing of value, then the chance of someone breaking into her is less, deception is the key. The bench seat is torn, and the dash is cracked to all hell, and the steering wheel is a lovely wooden Nardi! The stereo consists of an amp mounted up behind the seat into which I directly plug my i-pod, speakers are in the kick panel, and under the seat. Gauges are some random bits ive collected, nothing matches, but they work. I like having the engine vacuum gauge, think of it as a fuel economy/how well your motor is running gauge. The body is all beat-up, with original paint and lots of stickers, I will never paint her. I like being able to use and drive my truck without the fear of scratching up my nice new paint job. It is a truck after all. Plus the original paint is friggin' hardcore! I mounted two ammo boxes in the bed one per side, they work great for tool, tie-down/rope, spare parts, and that all ways useful extra gallon of gas storage. Butterscotch is my daily driver, my art, work truck, therapist, exploration device, and one of my loves. I purchased her when I was 19, she had 73,000 on the odometer, and had been resting in a barn for the previous 15 years. Before this truck I had blown threw six vehicles in four years. Thats a testament to the sturdiness and ease of repair of the 620, well that and I have chilled out a little in my twenties. I cant wait to drop in that rebuilt mill and take her for a spin!

deadmonkey Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 kneesmo... those are some sick double exposures w/ lighting shots... I like! Nice truck too :) I like the amo can Idea for sure... especially because of the olive drab color my truck is gonna be. Quote Link to comment
kneesamo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks Dead Monkey, the shots are all single exposure, just super long exposures, with light painting, photography,(particularly night shots) are a hobby. Butterscotch has been a test bed for alot of experimental shots, such as the ones above. I only just started to use photoshop for lighting corrections. Check out my flickr if yah wanna see more. Here is a link to the Slow Shutter Speed set:Slow Shutter Speed Off to assemble the head I go! Also the ammo boxes fit damn near perfect, they flush up great with the inner fender wells, and are just a little below the tops of the bed rails. A personal favorite. Quote Link to comment

kneesamo Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks dat77sun, just keep in mind with the oversized tires, and aggresive off-road driving that you are going to be wearing everything out quicker. I speak from experience. These datsuns were meant for little tiny tires and light to mild driving, not flying over ruts at 60, and sideways around every corner, it wears them out. They are sturdy, but not without maintenance. Also the truck isnt actually raised that much, just a bit in the front. It's mostly the tires that give it its stance. 1 Quote Link to comment
