68Datsun510 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Completely seriously going to ditch the HB truck once its smogged and done. Looking for opinions based on parts availability, ease of cross-swapping parts from other vehicles, and how well they accommodate someone who is 6' tall and...lets just say...not 'thin' hahahahaha Oh yeah, no late 620's or 720's because of Cali's stupid-as-shit catalytic converter law.

68Datsun510 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ken, the kinpin front end and drums never left you second guessing??? =) Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I like the 521s, but thats me. wayno Quote Link to comment
Ken_B Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nope as long as it doesnt freeze overnight I drive my 521 daily, my commute is about 50 miles roundtrip and I love every minute of it, I have 2 newer trucks that dont get driven even near as much. Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 don't have to keep drums if yer skeered i voted 620 for purely selfish reasons - more 521s for me :P Quote Link to comment
The datsun kid Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 i say 620 (even though i own a 521 ahaha) just cuz of parts and its a little bigger than the 521 in the cab region. oh and i would rock the shit out of a delorean!!!! Quote Link to comment
Rob W. Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'd go for a 620 but I'm partial haven't had mine for long but finding parts has been easy. I'm not that big so I have the seat pretty far forward but the guy I bought it from was about six foot with a round belly he didn't complain abut it much. The 520 is a pretty cool truck too though get them both and sell the one you don't like. Quote Link to comment
620racer Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I couldn't decide so I am putting a '70 521 on '79 frame ! Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nope as long as it doesnt freeze overnight I drive my 521 daily, my commute is about 50 miles roundtrip and I love every minute of it Ken, what kind of fuel mileage are you getting or have you even checked? I'm about 20 miles one way to town/work and am curious what I can expect out of my '72 once it's on the road. Quote Link to comment
Ken_B Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have a webber 32/36. If I drive her easy I get about 24 mpg, almost my entire drive is 60mph, I imagine if I did about 50 it would be a lot better Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Here's your future ride: Seriously if i ever get the money, im buying a delorean and doing the bttf kit conversion to it and rock it around town. I would geek out so baddly. I was so baddly addicted to watching the movies as a kid, and i still love the things. Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Both? or if you can't decide..VW Rabbit Pickup/VW Caddy lol? Radio Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If your worried about room, you had better get a 620 Kingcab. I dont know what the cut-off date is for cal smog shit, but the earliest KC was 1976. Quote Link to comment
Gary Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 was gunna suggest a KC :D definately what id do if i were a tall chap Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 1976 and newer needs cats and smog checks =( Not terribly concerned, my HB single cab is far from roomy and i liked it just fine. Quote Link to comment
fryenretards Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Seriously if i ever get the money, im buying a delorean and doing the bttf kit conversion to it and rock it around town. I would geek out so baddly. I was so baddly addicted to watching the movies as a kid, and i still love the things. i thought that same thing would be cool and on top of that, be racing someone one the freeway and at 88 mph fireworks ignite from behind the grill and cover the car in sparks lol awesome Quote Link to comment
