Eccles Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 so while i was out the front playing with my truck an old geezer drove past in a truck full of scrap metal. he pulled over and offered me a roof rack so i said yes so after a few mods i got it it to fit kennys lil roof and of coarse my lil ladies wanted to get a shot with kenny and then once on i grabbed my bike rack and it fits up a treat and yes i have not lined the tub as yet as been a lil busy and poor as just had 5 weeks off unpaid, back to work in a couple days so in a few weeks ill mount my mags and do the rhino liner this rack is pretty cool as a million ways to set it uo, its a little rusty but i really dig it, lets see how long before i get over it, id say it will come off when i mount wheels, I'm gonna remove fog lamps and grill badges today and maybe the street static will go too 5 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I had a massive HO slot car collection that took a full size long bed crew cab Ford pickup 4 1/2 loads bed full and only room in the cab for the driver to move when I sold it several years back. I head 768 cars and trucks. Mostly the old Auroras from the 1960s. also had many German and Italian slot cars. I am happy I sold it but I do wish I would have keep more of the cars and trucks. 2 Quote Link to comment

Eccles Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 so kenny copped a new sticker the other day, i found it in a little japanese shop and just had to have it loving the new rack and sticker less ass on him now found the correct wheel nuts and lock nuts this week, ill get new tyres mounted and have them on in the next couple weeks, can't wait to see these era correct mags on there still got some other sets of wheels sitting here in case I'm not a fan but am thinking these will look right at home on him looking at 195 50 15r as these are 8 inch wide and i think that will give me some stretch, may even go a couple inches lower if need be to fill guard gap 2 Quote Link to comment

Shaggy620 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Such a beautiful truck! Serious inspiration. I just got my 620 a couple weeks ago. Same yellow as yours, just faded out and some surface rust. Was nice to flip through the time lapse to see the truck come along! Keep it up! I love it! 2 Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Those rims fit the look of the truck so good...you nailed it !! Do you have the center caps for them & is there a manufacturer stamp / name on them ? Kool Japan decal too.... 2 Quote Link to comment

Do you have the center caps for them & is there a manufacturer stamp / name on them ? Kool Japan decal too.... funny you say that as went to the wreckers today to find some sort of cap that fits found a few different styles and then settled on these i was thinking the same thing and now i got caps on it looks more complete, I'm even considering leaving with this height and rake it drives perfect like this 3 Quote Link to comment

Any trucking company should be able to put you onto someone that would make the Tarp. Then you'd just need to make up some tarp bows 1 Quote Link to comment
