Skib Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 anythings possible, its just a matter to time and money have you got enough of both? Quote Link to comment
datman Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 i don't acctualy have either at the moment. was just wondering because i read about people putting the engines and brakes from HB's on their 620's. So thought it might be easier to just swap the body from a 620 to a HB truck. Quote Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 sometimes i think about putting my 620 body on my frontier. and vise-versa. then i have a 620 with a ka24de and discs, and have have the only L series, drum brake frontier! ok that is just weird. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Easier?? no way You're basically asking if you can weld a cab and bed onto a frame that is wider, thicker, and longer. Same as with any newer truck. It is not even close to a bolt-in opperation if that's what you're wondering. Might as well be a toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier frame. Quote Link to comment

Find a D-21 and use a tape to measure it. ALL 620 cab mounts are the same. The distance side to side between the front two under the rad support is 33.14". The next two back (side to side) more or less under your feet is 47.64". The two behind the seats (side to side) is 48.03". The distance from the front (rad) to the next mount (under feet) is 42.72". From that one to the one behind the seat is 37.11" The distance from side to side between ALL 4 pairs of box mounts is 42.52". My fingers are tired but I have the spacing for the box mounts front to back if you need them. If the measurements on the D-21 are within an inch you could make it work. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 ....also, look up the yahoo group "sacparts" ....Chris the owner has done something similar and I think he even has a write up about it in the files section. Quote Link to comment
