DatDoug Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 This is my 74 620 that I traded my red truck to NAS for. Ive always wanted a orange 1 :cool: Shes a lil beat up & has a bad motor but this truck has loads of style! Tons of potential! Just got it in the garage for deconstruction. First things first I pulled of the door molding that I hate with a passion! :angry: Pulling motor & interior to give it a thorough clean-up. Then put in good bench seat & an L18 out of another 74. Pull a leaf out of the back to adjust the stance a bit. Buff out the cool orange paint. Put in a stereo. & last but not least I think im going to roll the slots formerly of RickRats red truck. I really like the stock orangers but I have always liked the slots on these trucks & want to do it. PiCs BeeOtches :fu: Quote Link to comment

Rustina 510 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ok are you in the Portland area? Yeah that area is a bit tough but with a tack puller we can get it really close and bondo it out to look perfect, or even better I have long angled taps that we can hit from the inside of the fender and tap it out even closer to perfect. I love body work! And it will give me a chance to hang with some ratsun family!!! Go team ratsun!!! Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Finally got OJ done to the point where I could drive it. :cool: Its totally 70's retro with the slots & the brite orange :thumbup: I put an L20 that I got out of a $200 parts truck. Put in the nice black diamond tuck bench seat I got from my other 74. I found this old B&M white shift knob somewhere & installed it. Still gots lots to do. Finish Buffing paint. Center console with stereo & kick panels with speakers. Floor mats. Dash vents. Fix E-brake. Exhaust. Bedliner spray & other little things. It runs & drives nice. Here are some pics of the progress :fu: Quote Link to comment
