JCalais Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Cab etc is pretty easy to bare metal your self, with paint stripper, wire wheels, nylon wheels etc etc. Quote Link to comment
Dilligaf Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Ill look into it but atm i just have no time at all, i was leaning more towards blasting because then it will knock out the rust and ill be getting the chassis and stuff powder coated. Quote Link to comment

Willdatsun Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I would take off the paint that you can reach (middles of panels etc) with afro wheels (abrasive plastic mesh wheel things for the angle grinder) then less chance of distorsion from sandblasting, less mess, less cost. 720 steering box is different to 620 (720 installs ouside frame rail I believe) Try to stop breaking stufff!! good luck. PS would look kind of cool back to original pea green. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Wow, nice progress on that bed, diff, and springs. Looking very good. I'm not sure what your options are on the other side of the world, but if you are replacing the bushings I would try to stay away from the Thailand stuff. Try to find genuine Japanese rubber. I replaced my leaf bushings on the 620 with Thai reproductions and they were hard and squeaky. All of the noise of urethane bushings without any of the added stiffness in the ride. I replaced them with some rubber ones out of the salvage yard after a month of squeaking. The weather striping from Thailand is hit or miss, but 90% of the companies that sell the stuff get them from Thailand anyway, so not many options there unless you cut your own weather striping. Good luck with the restoration. Makes me wish I had held on to my 620 :( Quote Link to comment
