crawler Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 So three years ago i found a 74 standred cab short box 620 in my town in mint shape no rust what so ever. A few of the lights and grill front bumper,lower front valince had been taken off but put in the box.Other then that it was all togther and had 54,000km.It was orange but someone had painted it sliver.I had not seen one in 12 years and all of a sudden i need it.So i go ask if it was forsale and it was $150.00. I was sold but had to show and ask the wife she said no to meny toys and to close to your b-day! I was like wtf little did i know she then wanted to buy it for my b-day.She went back 2 days latter and it wes gone!!!! B-day went by and she told me the story i just about cried.. Month goes by and i find a 78 620 kc buy it for $50.00 drag it home but was to far gone for a good project.I striped the good parts off and scraped it for $75.00.Still no 620!!!! So 2 maybe 3 month go by I'm in a little town 30 min from my town and out of the corner of my car finding eye i see this sliver 620. I whiped my ford f55o 2 ton around to go find out about it. No way it was the one i wanted to buy but all put together running and insured. See a guy going to get in and run up all i can say is this truck for sale?? NO he gets in and drives away i'm pissed going to buy one off ebay soon.So i start the look ebay, paper,autotrader nothing in my price range well my wifes price range.Time goes by and i give up hunt but still dream about the 74 it was so sweet. The other day friday may 23 2008 wife tells me that we are going out to the bar for her best friends b-day.We hope in the car go to the same town that i saw the 74 in we are there all the time but i never saw the guy or the truck again. Any way we pull into town and in this open field with a pile of old cars for the fire deparment to practie cutting people out of and there is the sliver 74 620 sent to be cut up NOOOOO!!! I freak out i'm a car nut and start asking the people in the bar about how to get the truck.They lead me to the mayor phone number so i wait tell mon to call.The man was rude but i saved the truck had to pay $100.00 for it but it is still in mint shape pick it up soon.I'm like a kid in a candy store.I will post pic as soon as i get it home..

crawler Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 So i go out to look at the 74 620 to day to see how i can load it on the trailer.It has rained out here for about a week so the mud is up to the top of your boots. This old guy comes over to see what i'm doing with the old truck so i tell him the story. He said well son i have some old dats. out on the farm.We hop in the truck and head out of town we drive for about 10 min. then i pull into this farm yard we drive up to an old barn.We hop out and he opens the barn doors and there was 4 521 and 1 510 two door with 4or5 4 door 510 parts cars.I think i just died and went to haven.The old guy said that he would sell all of them for $800.oo. So i shut the door and give him my number and tell him that i will be back so i now have to find some room for all of them... Quote Link to comment

CharlieBucket Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 amazing! you look for years for oneand find 10! good luck with all of them. now i just need to find a barn like that in georgia! i also looked for my datsun for a long time. i assume you are from the east coast somewhere. we have to look hard but i think we all eventually get a great deal on one or two.

CharlieBucket Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 so what ever happened with the barn find? i would take that deal in a second! Quote Link to comment
crawler Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 the barn find still sits in hiding. Thought this guy at work is going to buy one of the 510's.The rest i hope to get if i can find a place to store them.Right now i have a 2007 mazda6,1988 rx7 turbo rhd convert,2007 ford f550 and now the DATSUN.I live in a house with no shop.
