bananahamuck Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I posted this truck in Pumpkin210 build thread a while ago as thoughts on his build..Albyneau asked if i had more information on it , and instead of mucking up Pumpkins thread here you go..I really love the look of this thing and was going to see if i could pull it off with Samurai running gear and a 521 that i have....BUT since i traded the sami off for some Datsun parts, i have no reason to keep it hidden any more.. Builders words not mine.... Ride Description: My 'Patrol' started life as a '74 Datsun 620 pickup. I shortened the frame by 14" and took 2 feet out of the bed. The cab and bed were welded together, and the rear of the cab cut out. It has a 3" body lift and rear air shocks. Currently the engine is the original L18 with a Weber carb. The drive line is stock....for now. I bought a Nissan 720 4X4 last year, it has the 2.4Z motor with a 5 speed stick. I plan on removing the 720's body and shortening the frame to fit under the Yellow 620's body. Doing this I will gain: power disc brakes, power steering, 4 wheel drive, a wider wheel base, AC, cruse control, power windows, overdrive, and more POWER. The truck is a blast to drive now, I can't wait till it's all finished. Started with this..... AND my personal favorite oic LInk ......with a few more build pictures http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2512175 Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 i think it needs some form of camper shell so it will be like a mini k5 blazer Quote Link to comment
Wylder1324 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I think I would have a roll bar made that would double as a soft top frame for the bed….very cool truck. Quote Link to comment
