Royal Sierra Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks again to Joey and Nicoli and a couple other for helping too. Got my seat brackets modded, just have to cut out the factory seat mounts. Itd be done by now, but the truck is at my grandmas in an old folks trailer park where I gotta be quiet, so I'll tow it to a buddies down the road 3 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I have a friend that has a 620 with an L16/dogleg and 4:37 gears. It seems like a pretty decent ratio. Plenty of get up and go, without screaming down the road at 55. I read that the 521s that had J13s had 4:88s.. so I pulled the 4:37s out of this Also started putting my dash back in. Painted the lower half, and threw a 520 metal top on there. 3 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I bought these at the yard too. No curb rash..just look like theyve sat outside for too long. Not sure what I'll do with them but they were only 100 bucks. He wanted 250 but Im a loyal customer...ha 2 Quote Link to comment

Royal Sierra Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Got the ass end lowered. Im gonna get smaller tires because these 195/60s look like balloons..195/50s will look good. Had them on the last 521 and they fit perfect. The rear does need more low though. Not quite low enough for me 3 Quote Link to comment
Loren O Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I can't wait to see this truck in person! Looking good! 2 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks man. I had to pull the exhaust out since it got pinched between the frame and axle. I was going to replace it anyway. I want to cut a 3" hole in the side of the bed in front of right rear tire and have the exhaust exit there. That way I dont have to have it run over the axle and all that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Loren O Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I was wondering about the exhaust system being in the way on my 521, now I know to watch out for that. 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I replaced the exhaust system on my 521. That thread is here: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/61167-how-i-replaced-a-521-exhaust-system/?hl=exhaust You might find some useful information in it. I do not recall the clearance between the bed and rear axle being that tight, but my truck is at stock height. 1 Quote Link to comment
Royal Sierra Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks Daniel. Im pretty sure my exhaust was replaced at one point..you can see how far it sticks out from under the bed. Im betting its been replaced at one time. 1 Quote Link to comment
