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 December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Not yet, sorry. I ain't even tried out NY vinyl cutter yet and I've had it since February or march Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Dark green to light green (truck color code 620, 616) is 99990-00340 and only available for the '78 (though I'm sure would fit other years if the truck color is the same) I imagine they are long enough to do KC, reg and long wheelbase boxes and are just cut to size. There are also dk. blue/lt blue and silver/black and all are for '78 and or '79 trucks. Maybe because the complimenting truck color is unique to these years? Quote Link to comment
ducky Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 I think that brown, red, orange, yellow, cream set would still look good on my blue 76... Quote Link to comment

I got an email back when asking for pricing: In terms of cost: Design update for colour: US$75 Printing and laser cutting: US$299 Delivery DHLExpress: US$49 Total: US$423.00 It's a bit too steep for me currently, but for the huge size of the kit, and that there are three stripes, it seems reasonable.
