My 620 Long Bed

[Rob W.]

Been lurking about here for awhile and want to say thanx for all the useful info. Thought I would wait to post until I had some pics to share so here they are. I bought this old truck from a friend and it had a lot of tiny rust spots going on a bad paint job. So I wanted to stop the rust and I felt it should be green. I loosely copied a stock color scheme and me and my son rattle canned up this paint job. Someday I may give it a "real" paint job but this will protect it for now.

 

Here is a before pic.

 

 

and a couple afters

 

 

 

 

Had this truck for about a week now and have already got the carb working fairly well. I love old Japanese vehicles and so far am loving the way this one runs. I am going to start on the interior now I'll keep this updated.

Paint the grill black. It will complement the tires and not look like you didn't mask off the grill when you painted the truck. Diggin the side stripes. Looks like the stock ones on some 620s.

Was thinkin of just replacing it. Everything up front got crunched at some point and I wasn't sure it would go back together well after it came off so I left it and figured it would get replaced when I could afford it though I may paint it black if I can get a new emblem for the grill in the mean time. Thanx though I imagine your right.

 

I couldn't quite get the exact colors but I was going for that 70's original look. Glad you like em. Still got to get to that bumper was going to go chrome but I thought one of the accent colors might look cool and then leaving it all beat up and rusty was feeling good there for awhile so don't know just yet I'll figure it out this week to dang windy to do anything today.
