hobospyder Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hey don't worry, I'd have an accord if I had bought my baby mover. Was looking at the 2014 accord and almost got one That's a civic right? 1 Quote Link to comment
abominable666 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Ya it is. The SI. Only new civic worth owning in my opinion :w00t: 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 My brother wanted that one. I hopped into it and automatically said no because I didn't fit in it and went looking at the accord. He figured out the the chair pumps up and down and yeah I fit with it all the way down but it still ain't my style. Accord all the way 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well a '74 could be in a '78 show. A '74 sticker on a '78 would be really interesting. Lots of stuff will swap between years on the 620. Mix 'n match Can't see why anyone would put a dash in that shape into a '74. The rad support is correct for a '74. It's not a '75 or newer for sure. The 'arm rest console box' between the seats is from the mid year '76 and up king cab. Valve cover could be for a '74 but the carb isn't. Look on top of block behind the dip stick for the engine ID. you might have a newer L20B engine. You are missing the right hand (as viewed from the front) top front 10mm bolt through the head into the timing cover. Dash swap might have been for factory AC ducting and controls. The 74 AC was and under dash add on. Please correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment

abominable666 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I finally got around to putting all the new tie rod ends and center link in Parts truck is looking pretty sad right about now Since nobody seems to want the bed I'm thinking I'm going to cut the remains of the truck. Paint it to match, and Rock the Datsun Trailer! 3 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I would love to have a matching trailer for my 4x4. :cool: Hows the truck handle with the new front end? Have you gotten it aligned yet? 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have the same stepside I bought from California Stepsides back in 1976 no sure but I think the front fenders were from an outfit called California sunshine-- not sure Maybe California Stepsides also sold the front flares and somebody built a truck named California Sunshine - 0h well that's what I think I remember Wonder if Steroid will find this? Heeeeeee would know. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 MAN, some upper and lower control arm bushings and your front end is brand new. This is a bad ass looking truck. Color, stance, tires........ya Good save on your part! I like the look of the front, as aerodynamic as it is. 3 Quote Link to comment
abominable666 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Truck gets aligned today hopefully. Got the shims I need to adjust the caster and a buddy who is confident with the alignment machine. I cant wait to drive this truck with all the new components. It was scary driving it before 2 Quote Link to comment
abominable666 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Holy crap what a busy weekend! Saturday I spent many hours working on the brakes, new rubber hoses, booster, and roughed up the pads, rotors, shoes and drums. Little truck finally saw the freeway and did awesome. A whopping 67 MPH (had my fiancé clock me)! 22 miles later I made it to my house! Sunday I drove all the way from Roseville to Georgetown (about 37 miles on twisting mountain roads) and everything went fine, until the trip home in the dark when I lost my dash lights and my tail lights..... :( 2 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I really like the look of this. Are you going to put the side markers back on the front fenders? 1 Quote Link to comment
abominable666 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 I haven't decided yet. I do have a set to do it tho 1 Quote Link to comment
