datzenmike Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Move the floor plate? Just drill new holes. A car L20B would have the same/similar 4 speed but not from a 620 they were 71B. Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 I can drill new holes but was trying to save that as a last ditch kind of thing. I figure there might a Datsun frankenstein parts issue that I wasn't familiar with causing things to not want to line up before drilling holes. Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted January 24 Author Report Share Posted January 24 Now I know these are being 3D printed but finding an OEM one in the wild is much more satisfying and 'original' for what is not an original truck. Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted January 24 Author Report Share Posted January 24 Oh and the cab is now fully bolted to the frame for the first time in 40+ years. I know I show me only half done in the vid but it's fully done now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted March 5 Author Report Share Posted March 5 Fedex dropped off a box with my bearings in it. I will see what I got when I get home. If they are right I can finally get this damn steering gear back together and move on to the next phase of this truck. Quote Link to comment
Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted March 7 Author Report Share Posted March 7 I did some initial reassembly and the box is binding pretty bad. Lots of crunchy noises in there even with spray grease just for testing. I took it back apart and stuck the box itself in our parts washer. I rewatched BlueHands video on this and think I am going to spend more time on this Saturday when I can be in the shop undisturbed. I know the whole assembly was abused over the years, I just hope it isn't too damaged invisibly to be any good. We shall see. Quote Link to comment

Pounding Rox Truck Shop Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 I am digging the AR61s on this truck, gives it a drift truck look. I have too many wheel choices here and they all look good on this truck. 1 Quote Link to comment
