dedrick Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yup yup, 76 620 long bed. I'm not going as extreme as you with the RHD conversion, or Chad with the custom suspension. This is more of just a weekend driver and occasional track truck. I am very impressed by y'all's work! Any tips or hints to you to throw my way, I'd be much obliged. Quote Link to comment

vegas_datsun Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 sorry been lagging a bit, been in school the past few weeks. so with the intercooler imma have to run only one light on each side so i wont be able to hide it like i wanted to. once i get the tubes ran from the cab to the core support ill be able to mock up the front tubs and start on the ic piping and the radiator hoses. after that imma be a stand still for a bit till i get the rhd parts in. ionno whats going on with them. if theyve been shipped or not. the seller hasnt replied to me in a while so it sucks. looking into gettign a set of drop spindles since i have the hard body ones one it already i can switch them out and be able to have it a inch or two lower does anyone else radiator stick up above the core support? mine stick up about a inch and half Quote Link to comment
BRE510 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I see you have the Ebay aluminum radiator. I have the aluminum ebay radiator in my 72.5 620 and it also sits up the same amount and it clears the hood with no issues. That's as low as you can get it without moding the front of the frame.

dedrick Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 What RHD parts do you need? Parts from a RHD 620, or a RHD Silvia? I have some Silvia parts left over, I'm keeping my truck LHD, but have a 1/2 clip from a Silvia, minus dash/gauges/computer. Still have PS, AC, steering column, etc. Quote Link to comment
