new to ratsun, my first truck! 76 620 red

[red76datsun]

Hello ratsun! I'm 16 and had been looking for a vehicle for a while! My grandpa had a 620 when he was younger and my dad had a 1993 nissan pickup. Basically you could say ive always liked nissan and datsun B) . so after a long search i found her :rofl: , a 1976 datsun 620 l20b with a 4 speed. I picked this up from another ratsun member but i had no idea what ratsun was! the motor runs great and transmission shifts like butter. the interior is in really good condition and i got some extra parts with it. im kinda on a budget but would be open for tips, suggestions and ideas. I would like to put some rims on it and i was thinking keeping it simple and more original with moon caps and lowering it a couple inches or getting some titans or centerlines since they fit my budget :w00t:. i want to here what you guys think and what would look best :thumbup: i just went to a auction today and picked up some alpine door speakers and im getting a alpine deck within the next month. I would also like input/pictures on how people put their stereos in 620s :thumbup: thanks for looking!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The bed doesnt have rust and is in pretty good shape for a 1976 pickup!

 

 

 

 

 

Notice how it sits infront of the chevy :thumbup:

Fantastic looking truck. :thumbup:

[620z]

Looks really good. Great find!

[Tristin]

Truck looks great... way better than that single image on FB I saw from your dad. That interior looks fantastic... I would hesitate about cutting into those door panels to put those speakers in. Can they be installed in the kick panels?- those panels are perfect.

[DevilZX]

[Dattokai]

[KhausticMess]

[pharouh]

Yeah,good door panels are getting hard to find. Good luck!

[Willdatsun]

Looks great! Do NOT screw it up by shaving the bed hooks off etc. These cool old trucks need preserving!

[Eagle_Adam]

good lookn rig!

[yankeedatsundoo]

nice truck. In the box that you have extra parts is the that a door mirror i see, if so left or right.

i wish i had a 620 as my first vehicle, i wouldve been so much more mechanically inclined.

red 620s look good, i havent seen too many of those.

also, +1 for keeping the hooks! youll end up using them alot if you keep the truck for a while.

Especially since I know youre going to be taking a quad with you sometimes.

Welcome to the site Dom.

Are you, by chance, Mike's grandson? Either way, nice looking truck, and welcome to Ratsun! Lucky score for your first vehicle B)

[red76datsun]

Thanks guys! and dont worry no intentions of taking the hooks off! lol and DatWifey , yes i am mikes grandson B)

[Dawa]

carrying shit in your bed, especially a 4 wheeler, is going to be your limiting factor when it comes to

lowering and suspension mods (if you were thinking of going that route.)

[DatWifey]

DatWifey , yes i am mikes grandson B)

Very nice. When Tristin said your name, I figured there was a good chance it was you.

 

I'm Jenn; my husband and I use to live next door to him and Laina. Your grandpa put you in touch via email with me about helping you source parts if you ever need any.

 

But, now that you've found this place, you'll most likely not need my help ;) Glad you're here. It's a great source for much more than just finding parts.

[jon521]

I got my truck when i was 17, datsuns are great first cars/trucks. welcome!

[Tristin]

Back off Jenn, hes my n00b! I brought him here... I used to work with his dad; we were on the same boat.

[DatWifey]

Haha, settle down there Sparky, you can claim him. I wondered if you knew his dad when I saw you knew his name. It's just cool to see him here. His grandpa hit me up when he got the truck, asking if we'd be able to help him find parts if needed, as he had been over at our place next door a few years ago checking out our 510 and has seen our 521 as well. I just wasn't sure if I should throw the site out to his grandpa saying he should join with the random boobage and such ;) Now I can't get in trouble for him being here, because I didn't recommend it :lol:

[dezertranger]

moon caps FTW!!!! im puttin the old steelies and moons back on my truck, probably soome 205/75/14 white walls too

I forgot about the random boobage when I recommended the place, but knowing Tim (his dad) a simple set of boobs will be ok. Gah... Some of the things that Tim and I have discussed while on watch.

 

You have a crazy dad Dom!

 

How did the belt replacement go?
