Phixius Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Picked up a 73 620 for a friend today. Maybe some of you seen this on CL. Got it in Wallingford, Seattle. paint code 104 (Olive Green). Hence the name Walli's Dirti Martini that we came up with on the drive back to Olympia. Came with a New webber, matchbox dizzy, a extra unchipped front windshield, one stock rear window and a slider rear window, the bench seat, and some other stuff. Didnt get any pics loading it because I was in a tight little one lane street with cars parked on both sides having to block the road with the truck and the trailer jackknifed into the parking garage entrance. Was in a hurry... snapped a couple at the first stoplight. got it to my house with no issues. Hopefully going to work a little on it this weekend... 5 Quote Link to comment

budsaipan Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Nice score. So you were the one that came by after me to look at it sunday. I was so close in buying that truck but decided against it as the front end was a lil smashed in but other than that, everything was in top shape. Especially for the price. Glad it's a ratsun owner B) Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Z seats... Plenty of head room. The one's that came in my 620 rattled like a SOB. Nice base to start with. I thought they are Z seats, now I know.. they are nice to sit in. Nice score. So you were the one that came by after me to look at it sunday. I was so close in buying that truck but decided against it as the front end was a lil smashed in but other than that, everything was in top shape. Especially for the price. Glad it's a ratsun owner B) Yeah, I was hesitant about the front too, but for 400, its like buying the new carb and a matchbox with the truck thrown in for free... As for the rest of the truck. Only rust we spotted so far was a little spot on the driverside rocker. floors seem solid, but we'll see when we start working on it. The bed and tailgate are in great shape. No outward dents like most from shit rolling around. looks like newer shocks front and rear. and some newer bushings on the swaybar. Saturday we going to investigate a "bent or sticky valve"...

Phixius Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Had a very interesting and eventful day today. Starting with Jrock (Jon) picking me up at around 8ish in the am and went to Tdaaj's (Ted) place for some 610 Raping. For Jons wagon IRS project... poor smelly thing... Then to another friends place to look at a 79 drift tastic 620 with a blown HG L20 for Jons 521. forgot to take pics, because I was eating my breakfast from a sound sound speedway grocery (they deliver beer BTW for $5 charge=AWESOME!). The I went home and hopped in my 521 and up to spanaway and picked this shit up for My Daily Brownie ooooohhhh fun. Then back to my place for some Walli's Dirti Martini fun... investigate the "valve problem"... ummmm.... WTF!!! someone put a bolt that too long in the thermostat housing and it went into the timing chain guide... sweet! its bent. and worn into, so it was ran that way. so off comes the head. WTF IS THIS!!! this was in the #1 cylinder (valve problem area)... its a ball of course steel wool. Im guessing this cause the "valve problem" as its now a compressed ball with two flat sides. and its in between the size of a pea and a corn kernel. Dont think thats good for a motor... Also, whats wrong with the cam sprocket and bolt??? wtf... I knew this truck was too good of a deal.... its now sitting in my garage awaiting for the judges ruling for its next sentencing. Wonder what the bottom end looks like, when the top end looks like that... hhhmmmhmm..... Quote Link to comment
jvb5577 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 How do you like the Z seats? Do they make you sit close to the steering wheel? Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 This is a truck for my friend and we havent driven this truck yet. But, just sitting in it. I usually dont like buckets in a truck. but I like them a lot. comfy, low sitting, side support. they do seem to put you a little more forward then a bench. but, overall seems more roomy.
