BearForceOne Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just picked this guy up about a week ago '86 5-speed, plans to lower by 2-3" and leave ratty until I have the money for a new bed and good paint, maybe even a boosted KA24 or SR/RB20 swap First Nissan, last car was a rusted out Volvo 240 that had nowhere near the potential this has Quote Link to comment

Jersey Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 A couple from this weekend. Back in 1977 we lived next to the Cal Trans maintenance yard in Mojave, CA, and there was a green standard cab exactly like yours, even the same rims! I loved that truck (that green paint!)...Great looking truck man! 1 Quote Link to comment

ddrum Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm with Kneesamo! and Thank you! I always wanted all terrain tires on my 620. I like how they do sell all terrains for stock 620 rim size! B) I'm looking into re-arching the rear leaf springs and get the truck higher from the rear :) 2 Quote Link to comment

The stock datsun shackle is really short compared to most. One thing to keep in mind if doing so is the added length of the shackle translates to 1/2 that length in lift at the axle. So a 3" longer shackle will net you 1.5" lift. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Did you put the leafs on top of the axle instead of under it yet? Can we do that with these trucks? Quote Link to comment
ddrum Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 So it's not worth it to re-ach the leaf springs ]2edeye? Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Probably why my truck was so high. Have been told my shackle aren't the stock ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Did you put the leafs on top of the axle instead of under it yet? Can we do that with these trucks? You'd have to cut off the mounts on the diff and weld on new ones on the other side. Once you do that, it should be easy. But that would be at least a 3" lift. Longer shackles are much easier. 2 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Flip the pumpkin too? :D i meant rotate the entire diff. pumpkin included since the axle housings and everything are one piece 1 Quote Link to comment
