Sublime27 Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 So I wanted to make a thread documenting my build an story. this build is very special to me. it's in remembrance of my Dad. he's had minitrucks since he was in high-school an a 620 was his high-school truck. he was in a few minitruck clubs like NightLife Minis and Mini Creations. L84ZRVR was his license plate on most his vehicles so that's why I put that. I'll post some pics of his 620 then my newly acquired 620. I also have some parts coming in but I just picked up some centerlines but don't know if the rear will be too wide. they are 15x7 an 15x9 or 10? My Dad Passed away from MSA so im also trying to spread awareness about that as well! I also used to own this king cab an have owned 3 hardbodies 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Too late now. Before buying rims find out what back space will work and those that wont. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sublime27 Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 lol yea you are right they were a good deal. if they dont work ill just polish them up an resell them. gonna get the tires removed soon polish them up then test fit them to see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment

Sublime27 Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 yea i wanted non staggered but when he showed up they were staggered so kinda had to deal with it. but they are worth more then what i paid so im not upset lol 1 Quote Link to comment
Sublime27 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 whats the easiest way to get the chrome caps off of the stock wheels? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 With the screw driver end of the stock lug wrench. That's what it's for. Just push in the crack and twist. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
