datzenmike Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Links are time consuming to open and look at. I usually won't bother. If posting post the picture. A fine looking truck like that I would... 6 Quote Link to comment

Rhino13 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Blocks in the back torsion bars up front. Takes about an hour if you have all the proper tools and yes, it's really easy. 2 Quote Link to comment

bstreit400 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I replaced the oil pan gasket and I got the pan and cross bar powder coated through work. http://imgur.com/a/5eY58(posting from my phone still) It turned out awesome but I spaced out on painting the bolts. currently trying to figure out and start swapping to disc brakes. one of the drums was warped and the whole set up had been neglected for a long time.I have the brake swap brackets coming in and I got a hold of v6 hard body calipers. The swap seems pretty straight forward and I have been doing some reading but any advice or info would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sorry dude I didn't see this until tonight. I'm home by 4:15 On a normal day. I've got it on stands right now anticipating the brake swap this thursday/friday 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 No problem, just thought I would offer. We'll have to figure a day I can come over after work as most of my weekend time is going to the Canby truck. 2 Quote Link to comment

Maybe we could get Jason out of Datsun retirement. :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Welcome, great looking 620. Sounds like you already have a decent support system in place :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 His dad and I have known each other for about 30 years. He too was a Datto nut back in high school. That was just a couple days ago. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: 2 Quote Link to comment

bstreit400 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Well, I was hoping for a warped drum but turns out Its a bent hub so the search is on for a new one. On the plus side I'm mostly done with my disc brake swap, just the bent hub holding me back Quote Link to comment
DatsunHiLife Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Wish I had the support team you have way out here in the middle of the Pacific. Nothing like a Datsun guy surrounded by Chevy and Toyota fiends. Nice score on your truck!! 1 Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 this is what it looked like at canby but that has now turned into this the red one is for sale...if not sold already 2 Quote Link to comment
bstreit400 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I need to post some more pictures. It has some pretty cool peices on it. The chrome trim set is complete. The tail gate pannel is on it and straight. The door pannels wrap all the way to the top of the door which I havnt seen before. It has a new dash, tach and complete center consol and working stock radio. Got a absolute killer deal on this thing. Older man was moving and couldn't take it with him. He ow,ed it for 8 years and tried to keep it stock. So stock it's still running a Hitachi and smog stuff 1 Quote Link to comment
bstreit400 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I just need to figure out why it's running hot this weekend and stop the misfiring when it's cold and it's ready for my daily driving. 1 Quote Link to comment
