The red one is a go cart and just as much fun on the road as this one is off. :D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 So the bench seat in this thing is no good. I've been spoiled by the red truck and my Infiniti. Picked up some heated leather buckets, went with tan to match the door panels. Plus the girl likes the tan and green theme Gonna pick up some 620 bucket seat brackets, hopefully tomorrow, to mount them up. The snow is coming and I want this thing ready for daily snow duty.

Master-O-Turbonics Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Dang man those look good. I'm just using my Eagle Talon seats in the 521... Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have a good set of the adjustable side for a 620. If you need them let me know. I kept them cause they were nice and tight. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks, there's a set at pick n pull, I'll be grabbing them after work if they are still in the truck there. :) Quote Link to comment

Any progress lately? I worked on pulling the 521 body today and built power brake stuff today. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Just gathering parts right now. I have to hit Jeff up for some of the parts that came with the truck. Toyota steering box and mount plates, Dana 44 front axle, and some interior and body parts. Cable shifter stuff came in. I got the components from Mcmaster Carr. I tried to get some from a company that builds cable shifters for Jeeps, but for some reason when I say it's for a Datsun they get all deer in headlights... Mcmaster Carr is cheaper anyways. I'll have to fab up a couple mounting brackets for the shifter and the cable mount at the t-case. I plan to drive it pretty much as is through the winter, spring time will probably be when I get to the suspension and steering. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Got the seats in finally. John deer green does not match. lol Cut and drilled some 1/8 plate. Stock center console. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 The JD green is much better than mill scale and rust! What are the seats out of? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Seats are out of an Olds Bravada, at least that's what I was told. They are pretty comfy, way better than the bench seat (sorry Jeff). They match the tan interior panels really well also. Also installed a new stereo, but the speakers I got are a little to small, need 4 1/2"s not 4"s. Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Those seats look great! 51/4 speakers will fit in the factory openings, I got some shallow mounts with seperate tweeters off ebay that sound great. then I mounted 61/2s in the rear with a 8" sub and it sounds like a concert hall. :P Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 5 1/4"s don't fit either, at least not the ones we test fit yesterday. I ended up getting som 6"s with spacers, should sound better anyways... Sub will be later :D I've been daily driving this for a couple weeks now and it is a great driver. The new seats are hella comfy. Going to try and go play in the snow up Mt Pilchuck this weekend. I'll get pics :cool: Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 I make spacer rings so the magnet of a 6.5" driver will fit in the factory hole in the steel of the kick panel area. They spacer ring acts like a bit of an enclosure for the speaker and give the driver some suspension. Net result is they sound a lot better on the lower end. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Not much snow so far this year Did find a little bit though. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks for the pics! Everytime I see this or any 4x4 620 it makes me want one so much more! How cool would it be! Bagged 620 in one side of the driveway and a jacked up 4x4 in the other!:hyper: Woot Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 You know, that truck would look so killer with some stock chevy 4x4 wheels set up some bead locks. Quote Link to comment
