Dawa Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 thaaats coool man. just 20 minutes ago on the 805 south i was wondering to myself if i could pull my 240 or 300zx with my 620. i concluded that my problem wouldnt be power/motor related but the additional strain it would add to the already old suspension, rubber pieces etc etc did you do any reinforcement/strengthening?

the nice machine Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 that is super awesome! that would be the perfect rig for hauling datsuns. i can't remember where i saw it, but i saw an old ad for a company in augusta, georgia (my hometown coincidentally) that converted 620's into tow trucks. you know any of the history of it? who made it?

Digi7al Trauma Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Dont want to jump in and steal anyones thunder, but today i saw one with a for sale sign in huntsville Tx on southbound side of I-45. I had to stop and look after seeing yours on here, they are interesting little trucks. Yours did look to be in better shape.... so out of the only 2 i know exist, yours is the top of the class :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
