First drive ever with her. It was awesome!

Also, discovered that there was still some air in the brakes. That was....exciting.

Yes, those nasty fake vents are coming off. Focus has been on getting her running, so I didn't really think about them until I looked at the picture, haha

i remember you saying you were gonna try using a putty knife to get those off, if you have fishing line around use that instead please, it'll help save your paint

+1 on the fishing line........... AND...........  WD40 will remove any adhesive without hurting the paint as well.

Late with posting pictures, installed my weber carburetor over the summer but didn't do much till a week ago.  After a failed attempt at making an egr block plate I decided to go back with the original egr valve.  I cleaned it up and painted.  Truck will start and run well once again, although it needs a good tune.

I finally bought one. 1977 620 L20b. Drove it 1.5hrs home. Started dying when its in neutral and stopped. I'm thinking its the fuel filter or possibly junk in the carb messing with the float.

Got a new shifter on since the orginal one was falling off and put a sticker on. Had to order the brake parts, so I'll be doing that and lowering it on saturday.

Spent this past week doing some things to the truck. Outside of troubleshooting why it won't start.

 

Started with new drum brakes in the rear. I'll be doing the front tomorrow along with bleeding the system.

Then Changed out the spark plugs. Still deciding if I want to replace the wires too.

Then plulled the starter. I'll be getting the new one and ignition cylinder tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes my problem.

My lowering blocks came in early, so I threw those on last night. Not all the bolts stick through the provided nuts, which worries me a little. It was the belltech kit 6202(?) same one a few people on here have gotten. Anyone else have that happen?

Cool pictures. Nice looking family. These pictures remind me of when I was a little kid and loved being in the bed of my Dads 620.

I'm making family memories with my kids,  my eldest is 10 and she already wants a mini truck
