The start of my 74 620 build


Recommended Posts

Well guys here is the start of what I'm sure is going to be a long term build. I bought this truck in orange county for $600 running :lol: ended up selling the shell for $100, the black wheels and tires for $150.

Plans are... a full time convertable, roadster chopped windshield, KA swap, knotched and 4-link in the rear, hydraulics all the way around, suicide doors, fully shaved EVERYTHING!! Uni-body the bed and cab, raise the bed floor and I am even thinkin about doing an old-school wood bed floor.

 

truck was kinda lifted sittin on 31" tires when I bought it

I seem to remember that 74 didn't come with tach's... I already asked in the forums how you can install them... But how did you install yours? Or was it already there? Thanks! Nice truck BTW!!!! Lots of time and effort you put on her I see...

I love build thread w/ lots of pics. I like the idea of capping the doors, not many mini's out there done like that. When you get ready to cut your windshield hit me up. I saw a glass guy do one in person & im confident i can either do it or walk you through the steps. See u at the BBQ in August too, hope u can drive the 620 there:D
