swb"74"620 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Brand of wheels? SEXY! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 They are old school Appliance wheels, not sure if they are made anymore. Nice hood :) Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 What was wrong with the old hood? I hope you make a table out of it, or hang it on a wall. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Goes better now... The way the cable was routed did not allow for full throttle. :) Also much quieter... I can now hear what sounds like a wheel bearing going out.:( Here's a current photo that looks damn sexy right there, I'd say keep that hood for show purpose or as a wall hanging in the shop if you don't plan on keeping it on the truck Quote Link to comment

Ron1200 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Though Cool... that graphic was not me... so traded it to ]2eDeYe Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 So are you going to paint whole truck gloss black? I've been thinking white actually. An off-white with some gold pearl. But until I can figure out how to deal with the rust in the bed, I'll leave it flat black... with a gloss black hood. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Though Cool... that graphic was not me... so traded it to ]2eDeYe Glad it went to him. Perfect for his ka24de 620 Larry Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 My son thought he saw your truck going through Tumwater ..so i had him whip the family truckster around and chase you down ( considering he`s only had his license since late June no easy thing..lol ) but the truck we ran down had slots.. So it would seem that you have avoided our lurking eyeballs once again.. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have a buddy here in Tri-Cities that was busting his ass to buy that truck. I would have been stoked to see it in his possession... But I'm glad you got it. You're doing that truck right. Keep up the stellar work. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 That panel looks great :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I've torn into the dash to clean up the wiring and address some rattles. Also Fixed the heater controls and fan. With the new interior the truck is much quieter. Did manage to get the horn working with some old air horns. Beep Beep 3 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Managed to get the dash back together. Moved the DZ-Start Button to the Steering nacelle (I got tired of seeing the hole where the key switch used to be). As the hole in the dash was to big now for the cig-lighter, I fount a small volt-meter that would fit. Cig-lighter is now mounted to the left of the parcel shelf. Stereo is now installed with 4 speakers. 5 1/4 in the kick panels and 6 1/2 in the rear side panels.Dash repairedDash installed 4 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Spent the day on the 620...Adjusted the torsion bars to raise the front a little. Installed low profile bump stops. Before, the front was lowered onto the bump stops. This effectively disabled the front suspension. Now I have about 1 1/4" at the bump stop. Also installed a resonator before the flow master. Still has 'sporty' sound, just toned down a little. Pic of old bump stops These are the ones I used... Bump Stop Link Pic with new ride height... 1 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Put a Bra on the hood. This one was from an 89 Toyota Carolla. Fits nice. 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 That thing looks so entirely different. Good to see that you made it your own. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment
