datzenmike Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Verrry cool. YLN 753 W. Really like the 620 dash in it. The differences between the 620 and 610 wheelbases is only 45mm or 1.77" So they did this with a 520/521? Only goon around would be the 510 and it was 4.3" shorter so??? 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) Is there nothing the Chinese won't copy? Did you guys ever see the Top Gear episode in China where James May was driving a "Honda Accord" with a diesel motor and a beam axle in the rear?

datzenmike Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Chinese are just counterfeiters. The Japanese are masters at copying something and making it even better. 1 Quote Link to comment

ANTONI Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Hi again ,so to answer "why" is because I really like the king cab, we never had it in our market, it's more user friendly for me, I need it for daily,for work, need longer bed to fit motorcycles....I thought of everything, through research the crew and king cab are the same length so shortening the cab needs stretching the bed... The best case scenario is swap the cab at least (can stretch the bed)... The whole car swap is not possible because this is a right hand drive.(swap with a left hand)...and the law here doesn't allow you to make the change.... Gonna ask if the need any proof of purchase for the cab,if not I can fabricate it 2 Quote Link to comment
ANTONI Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Can someone tell me what would be the price for those side panels , plus roof, and if easily can get. I can ask for a quote from a shipping company. If this is too expensive,I will try to make it work as is... Quote Link to comment
ANTONI Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 And the price for the whole cab.... Quote Link to comment

Unless it's about the look of the king cab, what about leaving the cab alone and just stretching the bed? You could 4 link the rear and relocate the rear axle a little further back , then stretch the frame and bed to suit.... You could do airbags for load leveling too... Just an idea..... Good luck with your project..... 1 Quote Link to comment

Otherwise they wouldn't fit. Crash has a great idea. Stretch the wheelbase to fit the long bed, and leave the cab alone. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Make transverse motorcycle mounts for the rear bumper. Probably easier to load without a ramp also. Quote Link to comment
ANTONI Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Crash,good idea but, it's not allowed to touch the originally dimensions of the car. The extra length I'm looking is 9.5 inch which is achieved with that king cab.the total length stays the same...Here because of their limited knowledge of engineering (road transport department) they don't allow anything. Some loopholes can get around but not much . Datzenmike nice idea too, but maybe when finished could take it t to a show with a custom bike on the back...... 1 Quote Link to comment

Would your MOT/DMV allow a body change if there is a corresponding VIN tag that relates to it? What is the law according to importing a vehicle there? For example, USA has different import restrictions than Canada regarding age of vehicle (USA 25yr old vs Canada 15yr old) but in either of these cases a 45+ year old vehicle is exempt. Importing parts for vehicles is a taxation issue, the government simply wants to charge duties to collect something from the importer. In Canada, generally speaking if the parts are for a "stock" application (not modified or performance) then again the fees don't apply if you apply the appropriate code. Cypress might have a "free" relationship with another country (Greece?) where you could get the needed cab/box panels through someone there - like a broker? Again, if Cypress never got the KC variant like North America never got the Crew Cab, there must be a way to make a trade... BTW Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment
ANTONI Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Merry Christmas! Well the closest country it is Greece which had a factory back then making the 620,but never the king cab.i can get a whole car from there but not the king... haven't even seen the crewcab, I think it was only for farmers that's why only single cab... Well from a quote I got yesterday for an exhaust system from the UK,20 kg box best price is 350 euros, meaning importing even part of the cabin from the USA it's going to be f@ckin expensive.... EDM as for the body change,if it was produced anywhere in the world it can be replaced...vin is on the chassis,I think there is no vin on the cabin ,so no problem there.,... Will try to get a quote for bringing a whole car from USA in a container...just to have an idea.... Quote Link to comment

I have heard similar things about the VIN vs frame numbers. I own a Land Cruiser that came from Africa and it has no VIN, only body and frame numbers, which California does not recognize as a VIN. I've been having one heck of a time trying to get it registered here in CA. I could have it registered in Montana or South Dakota, but a CA title would triple the value. Quote Link to comment
