TrevDaddy Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Warmed it up for 20 minutes in this 18 degree weather, drove it around the neighborhood for a bit, then parked it in the garage where it will sleep (for a week) while I'm on my snowboarding vacation. Every drive in my truck is enjoyable, I just feel so old skool when I'm tooling around in it.:cool: Quote Link to comment
slam_dat_sun Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I tore my 620 heater box down and cleaned it up, getting ready to reassemble and paint. Quote Link to comment

Madness Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Sat on the tire.... Wiped the dust off the shift knob. Thought about how much money i still have to spend on it. Quote Link to comment
mr68gts Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Front clip is now completely removed! All that's left is the steering column, the seat, and the seat belts and the cab is coming off! Then it's time to detail the chassis. Paul Quote Link to comment
Lynx Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I paid for my first datsun today. 325$ for a jacked up 620. It was red from the factory *I think*, the owner before the guy I just got it from didn't like the rust showing thru, so he sprayed it crap brown with latex house paint. I'm going to pick it up friday so pics should be up then. I went around it a few times, original engine is there, 4 wheels, and all the glass and body panels. The rest is details. I'm so excited to finally get a project car. Quote Link to comment

mr68gts Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I may be able to help you with that cable if my 73 has one on it! I can't use it with the dual SU's anyway and my 76 has a good one on it that is for the SU's I'll look in the next day or two and let you know. Paul Quote Link to comment

alleycat Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 painted the rear bumper and the grill. thanks to those that replied to my grill questions. Quote Link to comment
FH620 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 could not fine a shortbed and i had a nice long box so i cut down the long bed, it came out nice at 6' and it looks a lot better than the flatbed that my 620 came with Quote Link to comment
TrevDaddy Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Installed my new Z-Car style side mirrors from Al Allen. Then drove it to the chiropractors. The dash really makes a lot of noise, I need to insulate the interior, install some nice carpet, and get a new dash cap, hopefully that will silence some of the noise. Quote Link to comment
greybeard Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Fixed the throttle cable on my temp. carb. set up, then took it on a 50Mi drive to drop off a motor I sold. Came home with a big grin and a pocket full of cash.. woohoo Glad you guys got me motivated on the truck again :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I adjusted the carb finally. Now the choke works perfectly and kicks off like it should. Turned up the idle just a hair as its kinda low. Took my door apart and fixed the window a bit, when rolling down it would get caught on the lock shaft, and the roller would get stuck on the track. Plus it made a horrible screech sound. All fixed, still rubs a tiny bit but works so much better. Mocked up a muffler, cant believe how quite it is. It will be welded on monday! Have been running that damn truck for over a year and no muffler. Only going to cost 30 dollars to have a shop weld it on. I would do it, but i don't have a mig yet. Quote Link to comment
Roadracer Al Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 I hammer-formed a new trans crossmember so the trans doesn't touch the cab floor. WOW, it's so much quieter inside now... Quote Link to comment
TrevDaddy Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Removed the beat up junkyard front bumper. It was pretty crooked looking, and it weighs about 20Lbs more than my new OEM one. Weight reduction FTW! Also rebuilt the used 32/36 Weber I bought from Jefe de Jefes. I took a thorough cleaning to it, the fuel filter had about a finger-full of dusty crap in it.
