hobospyder Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If I have permission, I'm going to post a wtb in the classifieds for correct side emblems, so if you guys have any leads I would appreciate it. you've made your first post you should be good to go, maybe check through the classifieds and do an ebay search as well. i picked up a set off ebay at one point in the past 2 years Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 That's not me. I'm wearing a sweatshirt. :rofl: only person who's driven the truck other than me is one person Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Still no proof. There were 20+ flatcats running all over that place. That could have been any one of us.... Quote Link to comment

AlexDeLarge Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Little update, I replaced the grill with the correct grill, added a new bumper, repainted the front grill badge that I got off Ebay. Emblem turned out awesome, it was roached, so I stripped it and completely redid it. The side badges I got here and had to repaint them. I used a magic eraser cut in to a 2"x2" square lightly coated with Testors Model Master silver chrome and ran across the raised letters, then sprayed about 5 coats of clear. Turned out slick. Initially tried the hard rubber roller method and did not get the desired results. Thanks to you guys in my other thread that helped me correctly place the badges. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 The earlier grill makes the truck. Quote Link to comment
AlexDeLarge Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 On a side note, finally crossed paths with this guy today who has the only other 620 in town. Pulled over and talked to him about his truck. He said he has owned it since 1975 ( its a '74) and has 320,000 on it. It is a automatic and is bone stock and in awesome shape. He is a older gentleman and we swapped info. He asked me if I knew where he could get a gas tank and thought I would ask around here if anybody knew of any places? 1 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 JC whitney used to list a tank for a kingcab I think But Datsunaholic on here got a aftermarket one I believe. best to ask him. I think your truck would look better with the stock wheels like this blue one. but have o say its a nice straight truck Quote Link to comment
AlexDeLarge Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Yeah, Im not a fan of the wheels I have and eventually as money frees up I'll change them out...got to live with them for now though. Quote Link to comment
willz Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've got a 78' and the fender emblems said Datsun by Nissan. All original truck from the original owner. I've got a nice grill emblem if anyone needs one Quote Link to comment

topgunn0805 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Dang and I'm here in Jasper, Ga and I wouldn't have known. Freaking bravo man, congrats on the find! I'll hopefully have my own 620 this weekend 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 PM Sent!!! Hope it fits a '74! w00t. I need the "Datsun" fender emblems too! The '78 and '79 used a different grill. The badge is also different. You might get it to fit but it's definitely not exactly the same. I've got a 78' and the fender emblems said Datsun by Nissan. All original truck from the original owner. I've got a nice grill emblem if anyone needs one My info shows the change from Datsun to Nissan began at the end of '78 on the 620 by adding a small NISSAN under the DATSUN so people would begin getting used to it. (I think my '78 also had a small Nissan emblem) A soft introduction to the Nissan name. I think '83 the Datsun name was weened off the 720 and the hard Nissan emblem was used. The '84 Maxima still had separate Datsun and Nissan emblems and I think the '86 300zx was the slat Datsun emblem car. Quote Link to comment
AlexDeLarge Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Any of you gurus know if these will fit? 15x8.5 with a 4" backspace They are on CL here locally....good price. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 You should add it to this post... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/71683-new-member-looking-for-a-620/ ... when you get it post pictures and change the title. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Royal Sierra was running turbines on his 521. Ask him what size his are Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Any of you gurus know if these will fit? 15x8.5 with a 4" backspace They are on CL here locally....good price. Those look like they will be close. You should double check the backspacing because 4.00 = -19mm on an 8.5w wheel and it just sounds odd. My Blazer wheels are 15x8 with a -22 backspace and just slightly poke out, but I have disks front and rear and add about 3/4" to the track width from what I can find. . Quote Link to comment
willz Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 My rally's have a 4" backspace I believe Quote Link to comment
AlexDeLarge Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I bought the wheels just because they were so cheap so if they dont work I can just sell them and get my money back, maybe a little more. From my measurements they have a -27 offset. Gotta wait to get some tires as funds allow. Not really sure what size tires to run. Quote Link to comment

From my measurements they have a -27 offset. Gotta wait to get some tires as funds allow. Not really sure what size tires to run. -27 = about 3.7" on an 8.5" wheel If you really want to know, when you get then, run a straight edge across the back of the wheel and measure from to the hub. then plug it in here: https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/ Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 The 620 came with 6 ply 6.00 x 14 tires. The closest, but very slightly oversize, in today's tires would be... , P195/70R14 .... 24.75" diameter and 7.68" wide or P185/75R14 .... 24.20" diameter and 7.28" wide Going to a larger diameter will affect over all gearing and reduce performance. It will also make your truck go faster than what the speedometer is reading. A speeding ticket is worth two tires. You can go to a wider tire as long as the overall diameter or height remains close to 24.5". For example.... 205/65R14......... 24.49" x 8" wide 235/55R14......... 24.18" x 9.25 wide Quote Link to comment
