intense 620 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I need to know if i can use a tranny from a 1978 b210 in a 1973 620... any ideas? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Doubt it. You'll want one from a truck or a Z-car with an L -series motor. Your 73 probably has a short 4 speed. That will limit your options or you'll just need a few more parts. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 No it won't fit even close. If yours is a '73 you need an F4W63 from a 510 or a '70-'72 521 truck. If your door tag says '73 it's the build date and it could be a '74 model. Sometimes the ownership reflects the year it was purchased.... anyway, measure the length. If its about 26.3" long it's an F4W63. Quote Link to comment

intense 620 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 thanx guys... my husband is officially jealous that he didn't know about this site when he had his 620!:D Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Welcome...did you buy the truck thats in your avatar? I really like that 620. Do a search in the "drivetrain" section. I did a writeup on how to swap in a Z car 5 speed. Was on my 521 but most of the info should be helpfull. Quote Link to comment
intense 620 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 yup the truck in my avatar is indeed my truck fortunatley i saved from further disgrace. i hate to say it but some people just dont know the potential that their rides have. i bought it from a guy that wanted to chop up and scrap it.:eek: just because its a former show truck does't mean it cant be again!:D Quote Link to comment

datrod Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Welcome to ratsun, Nice truck. You picked that up out of Big Bear right? Quote Link to comment
intense 620 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) yep had AAA tow it down the hill because the carrier bearing was toast. the guy who sold it really down played everything that was wrong with it until i got there and went though it wire by wire and bolt by bolt. don't get me wrong he did an excellent job rebuilding the motor but body mods, suspension and wiring were certainly not his strongest suits.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I [we'd] love to see pics of the suspension setup when you get a chance :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Bet that pissed him off, A chick shows up and starts telling him what's wrong with his truck :lol: Quote Link to comment
intense 620 Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Datrod- i hope i didn't piss him off... i think he was just more surprised that i knew as much i did, i grew up with a mechanic for a dad and took 4 years of auto just to escape from the rest of high school plus two years of ROP auto maintenance and repair... but thats not something i tell people i'm about to buy a truck from:cool: PCD- i'll get some supension pics up as soon as i can. the truck is four linked and bagged with a decent c-notch:D Quote Link to comment

intense 620 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 here's the four link and the rear bags tanks and compressors now i know what the hideous carpet was hiding it may be ugly but she purrrs and yes that is my intake (i bought it that way!) there's the hack job they called a suicide door Nice A$$ 17 in' Boyd Coddington wheels all laid out on her frame I'm so proud of me... if i could work a computer like i can work on my vehicles i'd make millions!

moparvwfreak Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 very nice! i actually like the paint job too. not usually my taste but i like it! now please tell me you are gonna fix the drivers door??? oh and the wheels look bad ass! Quote Link to comment
intense 620 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 i hate the paint job i'm going flat black with the old skool pinstripping and a skull and cross bones. plus i already have a door lined up and a 5 speed tranny finally but until cfmotorsports makes room for me i have no one to do my welding:( i'm also fabricating custom window cranks out of 12mm sockets and 3/8 in ratchetts:cool: i love my wheels i had to talk my husband out of them but then he got chrome escalades so it worked out ok Quote Link to comment
