I'm putting up some pic's of this sweet looking 78 long box that cruised with us at the Asotin parade today. I know, no long boxes were manufactured after 76 but I did check to see if the data plate and frame had the same ID #. They were matching numbers. There was also 2 other long boxes in the parade made after 76 but I have not had a chance to confirm if they had matching numbers. It took Nate the owner only 10 months from start to finish this sweet 620 ride. any how, in joy the pic's.

Nate removed the motor and trans and also the brake lines, the detailing is superb, not bad for a young man still in high school. I told him about Ratsun and Canby, hope he join us here and cruises to Canby this year. Time will tell.

I dont know where you got the idear of no long beds made after 76. I have owned a 78 and 79 longbed 620's There wee no longbeds made UNTIL 75.

[420n620]

I'll look for that info and post it when I find it, I might have misunderstood what it was trying to say. I got to quit reading so damn fast but there tons of good info here and only so many hours in a day .... :rollseyes:

 

if Im wrong, which I have been before, I'm not perfect, who is. if so, I'm going to go stay at a Holiday INN for a couple of days. maybe that will help.... :lol:

 

 

EDIT :: Ok, I couldn't find the post I read but did read where Datsun made the long bed from 75 to 79 620, don't know for sure if 72.5 to 74 could be had, never found any info on them years.

Sorry for the mistake, like I said, I tend to read a little fast some times and miss some the facts. my bad ;)

Hey Datdoug, any work needed for these to fit on the front? I know with some aluminum wheels there's machine work/grinding involved. How about on the steelies? These look awesome and can be had cheap, so I'd REALLY like to know... :D

 

 

 

 

 

And here's the stray dog that followed me home today... ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of work ahead for me, but it's a nice solid base to start from. It's a '74, with an L18/5spd. I'll start a proper build thread once I get some actual work done on it. :D

Collector Plates, and a side pipe?

 

Looks like a very clean truck, does the A/C still work? Are you leaving it in the truck? Engine bay pics?

[Bob3]

The AC is not working. Some of the hoses were missing. I plan to remove all of the AC system. I'll get some engine shots up.

Looks better with out the topper & rear bumper

I put the original style grille on my Datsun 1200 Truck today. I bought the grille from layedOutBack six months ago...

 

[ariascarlos1990]

didn't you have a rising sun decal thing in the back window of the 1200 Truck?

[ggzilla]

It's a screen saver. Hardly any sun comes in the back window, so more like a setting sun. The window covering is perforated so you can see out fairly well but can't see in.

 

[ariascarlos1990]

Yeah it looks sweet! I wanna get one that is the rising sun only. where did you get yours at?

[ggzilla]

That back window covering is G-Speed Corporation corporate logo.

 

They can sell you a decal or even a whole Ute if you want one: http://www.gspeedcorp.com/

[ariascarlos1990]

Thanks. I send them an email.

[Hyphy]

PLEASE don't paint it!!! It looks so awesome! Slam it and call it good :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paint sucks!!!! I need photo shop :(

My truck as it is now.

[pl521sss]

2 of my trucks

one lowered and other lifted

 

There's actually one more in the garage but doesn't run yet.

Or far from being operational

 

[ggzilla]

Your home has been taken over by Datsuns :-)

PLEASE don't paint it!!! It looks so awesome! Slam it and call it good :D

 

No worries there sir. :P

 

It will get no paint on the outside. I'm going to repaint the engine bay and engine (should be very clean under the hood when finished), put some nice wheels on it, and dump the hell out of it. That's really about it in the plans for now. I kinda like the idea of a really beat paint job with clean wheels and engine bay, and I've been wanting to do it for awhile.

 

Paint sucks!!!! I need photo shop :(

 

I'll try to do a good p-chop of it this weekend. See how she looks then... :cool:

 

For now, quick and dirty... Removed back bumper, mudflaps, side mirrors, made a bed cover, and dropped it a foot or so...

Greeting to all,

 

This is my new "daily driver", a 1968 Datsun 1300.One owner deceased estate, showing 79,000 miles. All present and original except for the missing bench seat. Nil rust, drives well. Never been out of registration, since 1968. I drove it from Orange to Sydney, (260 klms) across Blue Mountains without any problems.
