strokerbobber Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 anyone on here ever done a 5 lug swap on a 620 or does anyone know if any of the 280z or other hubs or spindle setup that will work on these trucks with king pin front end. Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 it has been done. specifically by 'that one guy that drifts,' he used 240sx parts "project magazine" is also doing the same thing and covering it in their magazine Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Take a look at 5 lug Toyota 2wd trucks fitting. There was a guy years ago told me they would swap onto the 720. Bit of a stretch but the early 720 was similar to the late 620 hubs and brakes. You may need a 'Yota grease seal or bearing.... it was a long time ago. Why 5 lug? There are tons of Nissan (Titan, Xterra, Hardbody, Pathfinder, ST720) / Chevy/Ford/Mazda/Toyota/Courier/Trooper 6 bolt rims to choose from and then there's after market... Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The toyota hubs can be modified to work on the Hardbody spindles.....they use the same bearings.....but putting them on a kingpin spindle is another story. This is about as close as you can get since I've never completely followed through on this. But, it may give you an idea about whether it's worth it or not. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/31842-5-lug-swap-on-kingpins-mklotz70/ Long story made short......there's no "easy" way to do it.

sedition88 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've been looking at doing a 4 lub set up on my truck so I can run wantanabe type wheels. I did find company that makes their own set that will get me a 6 lug wheel, just have the shave my hub core alittle Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The biggest challenge with going to 4 lug is that the hubs are typically smaller....with smaller bearings. You could turn the spindle down to match, but I wouldn't use it like a truck after that. You might find a bearing that would help, but the kingpin spindle is 32mm.......and there's extremely few options because of that. The stock inner bearing was an OEM spec that was not used by anyone else. The disc trucks, on the other hand, use the same bearing and nearly every other disc truck out there....mazda, ford, luv, toyota, etc...... But the 4 lug hub isn't big enough to open up to fit them. At least none that I've looked at. Quote Link to comment

dscottdatsun Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 The D21 guys are converting their trucks using Yota hubs after they modify the spindle. The have to take 0.300 off the shoulder. Try searching "hardbody 5 lug conversion". Also look her datsunminitruckin.com they had a post on the topic. Scott Quote Link to comment

Scott nis720 has done it and has a writeup somewhere. I did the machine work for him. It's easier to machine the hubs rather than the spindles. ...quick google....here's some of the info.... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/28173/1986-nissan-720-pick-up/page-5/ Quote Link to comment
