TIGrant Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 New to ratsun and new to owning a Datsun 620. Just got my 79' 620 Standard Cab and I'm wondering if I can put a grill from a 76' 620 on it. Will it fit or do I have to make any mods? Also, I need to replace my bench seat, any small trucks that have a bench seat that will bolt in such as a 80' Nissan Hardbody? I went to my local salvage yard and no Datsuns available, a few Nissan pickups though. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 grills are the same and seats are easy to mount just look for one that has a notch out of it in the middle. How about some pic's of your ride? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Fenders, hood and doors interchange as well as the boxes. ('78 and '79 have the gas tank mounted on the frame not the beds) Tail, marker and front signals swap. Quote Link to comment

TIGrant Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 here is a photo of the 79' Dat. I'm gonna get rid of the side steps first thing. The truck is in pretty good condition from what I can tell, rust here and there but nothing too bad yet. I've got to pull up the vinyl floor cover and check out the floor boards for rust. The seat needs to be replaced before I can drive it, absolutely no cushioning on the drivers side. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Looks good! You can fit a lot of stuff off of earlier models, but your truck has a lot of better stuff that the earlier ones didn't. Disk brakes, electronic ignition, etc. I have a spare grill if you'd like it! I bought it, but my early model grill looks better Quote Link to comment
