Llittle_Llama Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 620, 79, with hooks, you will need to remove the hooks before i am able to help you anymore JK :D not sure about the brakes, i would talk to beebani or fineline. beebani makes a kit for the front (that you dont need) and might have an answer for you.

yello620 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 If that is equipped with factory front disc brakes it is either a 78 or 79. The factory 78/79 style caliper design is marginal when they are working good. An easy upgrade is using the later design hardbody parts, including the spindles. They entire brake/spindle assembly will bolt on. Search the archives, they details of this have been discussed many time before. I am not sure about the conversion to 5 lug, you might be on your own there. However, if i was looking at doing that, i would get the hardbody assemblies and see if maybe some 300zx hubs/rotors fit the spindles. Maybe the right sizes and offsets, maybe you get lucky.

Llittle_Llama Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 i think yello has it there... why may i ask are you wanting 5 lug swap? i know the most common reasons, just not sure if there is a more personal reason is all. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) If the emissions sticker :lol::lol: is still there and the hood hasn't been swapped :lol::lol: the year should be on it. There might be a tag on the door post giving the build date... if it's late '77 it would have to be a '78 model year, '79 would only be a '79. Being made in '78 doesn't help. Look beside the windshield glass for evidence of where the radio aerial is/was... the '78 was on the passenger side, the '79 was on the driver's side. For manual brakes just disconnect and plug the vacuum line. I would leave it as you'll need every bit of help clamping those binders on when you need it. Stay with 6 bolt and use Chev 15" truck rims.(pretty sure Chev and (or) Ford) Aftermarket rims for them come in huge widths. Edited December 2, 2008 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 oh yeah, forgot about the antenna thing! good thinking mike! Quote Link to comment
titoon420 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 nice you guys on this forum are fast i want to go 5 lug cause would be easy to find some narrow rims for drag racing and thaught maybe when converting to manual brakes that there might be a simple conversion with everything with resivor lines disks the whole 9 yds.. and what about cages is there anybody that has them prefabbed??

]2eDeYe Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Nice truck. Looks like a 78 or 79. I'd find a local speed shop and get a cage built. You might be able to use a cage kit for a yota pickup. http://www.allprooffroad.com/pickuptrailarmor/30 Quote Link to comment
