inShane64 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I bought this a few months ago: A 1977 620 KC. My family has history with these little trucks, my Dad had one with a small block chevy. It is a local (Clovis, NM), one owner, well serviced truck with 115,000 miles. I want to swap in a 5 speed and maybe a 4.11 rear end. I just want it to be a nice truck, with good gas mileage.ExteriorInteriorEngine and ID tags Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Looks like a Utah or more northern state truck. Good start though! Welcome! Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 First post and with pics....100000 points (they really don't matter). Welcome to the circus, as has been said around here before by someone way more clever than myself......"Ratsun is a forum for assholes and we just all happen to own Datsuns" (more or less a quote but you get the idea). Look out kids another New Mexico member! We may be up to 5 or 6 of us on here now. Quote Link to comment
inShane64 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 get rockers. I think it would be easier to spot weld it the old fashion way than to fully weld in a patch Will the regular cab rockers work? I have not found anything KC specific as far as sheet metal goes. Looks like a Utah or more northern state truck. Good start though! Welcome! It is defiantly more rust than most New Mexico cars. I know it is from here from service and sales records. I have been looking for one for years and I had to grab one in a bit worse shape than I usually would buy. I just love these trucks. This 3 of my New Mexico no rust scores: Look out kids another New Mexico member! We may be up to 5 or 6 of us on here now. Born and raised in the Clovis area, I am up your way at least once a year in in June near Edgewood for the Cowboy Action Shooting World Finals. just drive it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I drive the hell out of it, but It needs a few things. Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Found these links for rocker panels: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/47130-620-rocker-panels/ https://tabcoparts.com/pickup-trucks/datsun/620-pickup-1973-1979.html Unfortunately I didnt see any specifications for KCs. Perhaps you can cut in and add in a section. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I will remember to duck when June rolls around. I picked up a 210 that came out of Los Alamos and it was rusted WAY worse than that 620. I think they just used it as a winter driver and never washed it. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Impossible, your driveway is paved :rofl: That truck looks badass. If you want, PM me your contact info. Once or twice a year we do a Cars (read Datsuns) and Coffee at my place. There is only about 5 or 6 of us but still kinda cool to get some more Datto's in the hangar. Quote Link to comment
Farmer Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Rockers, doors, fenders, bed (short or Long) are all the same on all 620 US The back rust is on the cab itself Quote Link to comment
