Kennewick_620 Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hello everyone, first time posting but I've been lurking for about a year. I own a 1978 620 Deluxe and I'm curious if anyone has information on what I'm calling the "side accents" for 620's, as I have on my truck. I'm planning on a frame off restoration that won't exactly be back to stock, but close to it. I've decided to include the side accent stripes which I'm going to have a local vinyl graphic sign company copy and reverse engineer. My question is, what do you all know about these accent stripes? I'm a history nerd so I guess that explains why I'm so curious as to their details. Anyway, thank you in advance for your responses, Happy Holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Do you know the paint color code for your truck. Probably a sticker on the radiator support near the hood prop??? Closest matching colors are Dk Brown/ Lt Brown 99990-00338 lists... 01 hood, 02 left hand and 03 right hand. It's suitable for paint codes .... 227 617 618 647 Surely you must know Flatcat https://ratsun.net/profile/5669-flatcat19/ (Kieth) in Pasco or Soundline https://ratsun.net/profile/46324-soundline/.

Kennewick_620 Posted December 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Interesting, good to know. Also, the photo I attached isn't actually my truck, I just used that as a better example than mine. My truck is blue with black/grey/white stripes. I'll have to DM Flatcat and Soundline, appreciate the info on local Datsun guys. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 If your truck is paint code 103, 307, 524 or 633 there is a Black/Silver and white strip kit #99990-00337 Quote Link to comment
silroc Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 I too am curious about the graphics on my truck. However, mine are definitely painted on. It appears to be very well done and, although funky, doesn’t seem funky enough for a one-off custom job. Around the time I saw my truck on ebay, I believe a saw another one with the same paint scheme. So, these two things lead me to think this was a factory option or maybe one dealer in California was doing them. Who knows! I'm just looking forward to someday buffing it all out and shining it up - its all still remarkably intact. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Factory or dealer would not have painted anything on only decals. Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 i have a set of the decals that i need to get scanned to have someone cut them. enough to make a full set for all 3 versions, only missing 2 of one side, i think one of the king cab extras and a long bed set. can't remember 1 Quote Link to comment
