suprafast98 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Soo still lookin for a datsun 620 to pick up, but i had a question. What kind of truck is this. I am thinkin it a datsun 620 short bed but not too sure. Are all the 620 the same body style ie a 73' 620 and a 78' 620? On a side note, do you think it is just lowared or bagged? Found the picture on the internet and everything was written in japanese so i wasent able to find anything out. Any help would be much apreciated. Sorry i am kinda newbe at the datsun thing, i just joined. :) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I should imagine everything forward of the door handles are the same from '72 1/2 to '79. Fender badges changed over the years and the grill changed in '78. Some had small rubber bumperettes on the front bumper. Some pre KCs had a vent in the side pillar behind the door. The long bed was available in '75 and the King Cab in '76. The long bed has 5 bed hooks and the short and KC only 4. This isn't a KC, probably a short bed. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 You are correct that it is a 620. However, highly modified 620. Most notable body mod is the unibody. I would bet that it is on bags. it is possible to static drop them that low, but you cant turn them unless you can raise it back up a bit. Where are you located in the world? So we can share anything we find for sale to help your search. OH, And WELCOME Jason Quote Link to comment
suprafast98 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Keep any info comming. The reason I ask is because I am looking to do something similar, well at least along those lines. I am located in the bay area, san jose area so if you hear of any desent 620's up for sale let me know. Yea i was kinda sure it was a 620 but from the angle its kinda hard to see if it was a short bed or long bed. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The photo looks like a Tudor 620 -- a unibody four-door U620 converted to a two-door. See the way the bed slopes down? But I can't imagine anybody would have done that to a rare 4-dr. Quote Link to comment
reese Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 There are alot of cool trucks on this site.. http://www.bluepanic.jp/truck.htm Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Just to add to the shortbed longbed kingcab thing... The bed on the shortbed is the exact same as the bed on the kingcab. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 The red truck was a shortbed 620 & was modified into a unibody. Steroid recently posted a few pics of it. Quote Link to comment
reese Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 That truck is/was black/dark green..more pics here: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=2364 look how shallow the bed is.. Quote Link to comment
makya Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Bay area Craigslist gets a lot of 620's for sale. You should be able to find a decent one fairly quick. I found my Dually CC in Concord on CL. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 What ever it is, its an awesome looking 620. BOTH are great. Red one still has the space between bed and cab. The black one is smooth over. Farmer Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 is it possible to make ours a unibody? without too much $$$ Quote Link to comment
Duke Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 is it possible to make ours a unibody? without too much $$$ Yeah, just a few gallons of bondo, some sanding, and presto!:D Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 no really.....im interested, just weld up and go or what? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Definitely weld or frame flex will crack the bondo. Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 figured that. so what makes this mod so hard, why dont more people do it? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Looks great if you ask me. Only down side is you cant take the cab or box off separately to replace/fix. Worth it! Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 I think that i wont matter whether you weld it or not, it is going to crack. Might take a couple of years, but i think that it will happen. Do you see any signs of the pictured truck being anything other than a show truck? I dont. That means that it is not bouncing and seeing driveway ups and downs and angles that the frame is normally designed to absorb and flex to. I agree that it looks VERY good, but a lot of work and in a short time it will look like crap if driven daily. Great mod for a guy that has access to a paint booth, know how to paint and has the energy to do it often. I have always wanted to learn to paint, but not yet. Jason Quote Link to comment
