Joe and I did the KA mock-up in my truck today with the mckinney poly mounts, and the engine mounts I got form Kiznook. I didnt sleep much, so I was a cranky bitch, but we got her in. Big thanks to Zuum510 for the extra set of eyes and hands. I'll be sure to post pics of the progress made, within the next few days.

well i finally got some time to take the front left brake drum off the truck tonite. finally found out why my brakes have pulled to the driver side so bad the whole time. one of the springs that hold the shoe tight against the cylinder and the adjusted has been broken. it was the bottom of the 2 springs. so pretty much the whole time ive had this truck its had a broken spring...

 

sooo.... not i gotta go to the part store and see if they have a spring in stock.

Nice pics of your 620, Datsun Parts. Your truck is coming along very nicely. You're motivating me to keep working on mine. I'm glaring at my '77 KC out of my office window right now. The more I work on it the more it breaks. Last Thursday I got the windshield wipers working by replacing the bad motor with a used one. Then last Friday I discovered the alternator is barely charging the battery.

Pulled motor and trans out,trashed the old bench seat,removed doors and speedo cluster.Cleaned the firewall abit have to gloss black it. Next removing the cab and then stuffing the SR in there. Using poly bushings for motor and tranny mounts. Redoing gauge cluster with Phantom 160mph and a 10k in-dash tach 3 3/8in along with boost and fuel in the cluster gonna fiberglass it so it looks nice and clean,rest of the gauges on the bottom. Wilwood brake master and later disc's. Soon as the cab comes off, i'll start and new thread with tons of PIC's!
