Fuelrags Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 So here's my first 620 I bought for $1,150.00. The Interior is in good shape and it runs great! ,When I brought it home,it was stock height with ugly,rusty,14'" Chrome Steel Modular Wheels. I was in such a hurry to replace the Wheels with some old ones I had laying in the Archives,that I forgot to take some "BEFORE" pictures of the Truck. So here it is with Chevy 4X4 Wheels and 4-5 inch SLAM,2 1/4 inch Exhaust with rear mounted Turbo Muffler...What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Almost look like GM rims? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Nice to finally see the truck. I notice it has a tailgate liner..custom or is it a 79 gate? & i like the spoiler too..been wanting one of those. Jason yes he's on the list to be at the SWDP bbq :D Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 That little air dam looks cool. I didn't see it at first. Can you tell us anything about that. Maybe a pic front on??? Engine, trans original? Got plans? Quote Link to comment
Fuelrags Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 The Wheels are from a wrecked Chevy Suburban 4X4 and the front spoiler is from 68 Chevy Camaro!(it fits and only $28.00!)...hmmm Chevy Parts+Datsun=Cool...notice the vintage Keep on Tuckin' License Plate frame. My plans are to paint it White and give it a Datsun BRE 510 look with the Fender Stripes... Quote Link to comment
Fuelrags Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Here are some interior shots,and a shot of the custom tailgate liner...(I wish the owner left the truck the original orange color). Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Love the rims! I got a pair of those and was gonna try and find another pair until some titan rims fell into my lap. Those things are H E A V Y though... :D Quote Link to comment

Noticed your "heat" is disconnected, are you having problems with the heater core? There's a few 620's around here, I could snag another one if you need- (But So-Cal doesn't get cold anyway, right?:rolleyes:) Quote Link to comment

Id look underneath & check the condition of the rubber that goes around the bearing. If it's work or cracked bad id replace it before it lets loose. PM Datsun dreamer he recently replaced his & will prob. let you know where he bought it. Quote Link to comment

It was just replaced before I bought the Truck so hopefully It will hold up. Quote Link to comment
denveratsun Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 As far as the center support goes...I am a big fan of getting a one piece shaft made. After calling around a ton when mine went south...i found that they could build me a sweet looking 1 piece for less than the work i needed done on mine. I was getting the shaft balanced too...after I had shortened it for the 5 speed conversion...but still..worth looking into. Better stop light action too..since there is no more sloppy driveline. Just a thought. Lowering the truck will actually help in this case, because it alignes the trans output and the rear diff better. Quote Link to comment
Justin Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I agree with denveratsun, Replacing the carrier bearing is a HUGE pain in the @$$ for very little payoff, I totally regret not just having a driveshaft made when I replaced mine. Sure, a new bearing setup will be like 1/3 the price, but the bearing is pressed on so you have to smack it off- AFTER you remove the dent in the bolt that holds it on (another battle altogether). Once it's off you have to press the new bearing on and put the dent back in the bolt (and I'm probably leaving alot out). Pretty much, if you don't have a breaker bar and vise (or several large C-clamps and a workbench:D) it's impossible. And even if you have all of that, it still takes hella time to do! I won't be doing it again.:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
