DatDoug Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Just picked up this 72 620 from a tree farm in Shelton. Its all stock except for the 15" chevy steelies in the back & someone already put in a matchbox dizzy B) Its got surface rust here & there, some dings & dents. Has the stock L16 & 4 speed trans. It started right up but wouldn't idle. It would not go into gear either. Loaded her up & brought her home for some TLC. 1 Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I figured out the running issue. There was a huge hole in the brake booster vacuum line. I also drained the gas tank of its brownish fuel. I put on a weber & it now runs like a top! Changed the oil & put in some fresh NGK spark plugs. Drained the coolant, flushed the radiator & put in some fresh coolant. The slave was shot so I put on a new one & after a good bleeding it now shifts. Surprisingly the brakes are good! Now its time for some pics before I clean her up. Quote Link to comment

izzo Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Doug. Curious as what your method and what you use to polish these things up is... What kind of compound, buffing etc? Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Doug. Curious as what your method and what you use to polish these things up is... What kind of compound, buffing etc? I use TR-3 Cleaner Wax. This stuff is AWESOME! Just rub it on by hand & dry off with clean cloth. It wont get that deep shine that a mechanical buffer will but its quicker & easier. The last can I bought was @ O'reillys. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 The TR3 Resin glaze? I believe the blue/silver metal canister? 1 Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 After countless hours of Knuckle-Busting work on the 72, it is now my D.D.D. B) 5 speed trans swap lowered new radiator white walls clear-coated rusty stock rims weber stereo L8r model seat belts front bumper buffed paint Clutch slave oil,temp & volt gauges & more! She runs & drives good. Needs new valve guides cuz she smokes in the morning bad. Needs front suspension work. Shakes bad @ 50 mph. Here are PICS as it sits now. 2 Quote Link to comment
