izzo Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 idk take a close pic. see what's going on thuur. this is a stock 620 fuse box http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-Truck-620-Fuse-box-/261437759383?pt=Electric_Vehicle_Parts&hash=item3cdee79f97&vxp=mtr Your's looks aftermarket, careful of hacked wiring :( Who knows, maybe its just something else they added for other jazz, might be fine. Just never saw one like that. Looks different in the pic anyways Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Izzo, That is what they are suppose to look like with a cover. They just don't generally hang that far down from the dash. Quote Link to comment

mapball Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Nice find man. What kind of polishing compound did you use and do you expect the shine to last even with little maintenance? 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 What a beaut! Nice score, love the stock yellow. 2 Quote Link to comment
Danfinny Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I used turtle wax polishing compound and an 8 inch foam pad on my coordless drill. I do expect it to last because i checked spots with soap and water after i polished it. I then applied a liberal coat of good ol fashion turtle wax and buffed it with a buffer. 1 Quote Link to comment
Danfinny Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 so question.... how fast should i be able to run with this truck... cause 70 is a problem lol.... L20B and Auto... 1 Quote Link to comment
Danfinny Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 alright, so here is the thing... motor is a dog. yes its an auto but it should feel better than it does. timing is on the money it does need a carb but i dont think that is it, because it idles great a little hesitation at part throttle but thats it, in the mid range there is a surge of power if you can call it that lol. so options anyone? eventually i am going to go with a different head and cam for low mid range power, i want to pull my 510 to the track with this truck, and be able to load it up and go wherever i want with the 510 on the back of it. this truck is so original that i dont want to do an eng swap, i could but i dont want to. 1 Quote Link to comment
