Shout out to Tdaaj for finding the bed. sorry I wasn't moving fast enough. Was actually thinking last week I needed to talk to nanners to figure out who you were so I could message you. Glad you got it handled 2 Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Looking good. Is that the plastic OEM replacement that Rock Auto & O'rielly's carries? If so anything you don't like about it? Time for an update... Got tired of fixing radiator leaks... Solder one up and it would spring a leak in a different spot. After the 5th leak I just bough a new one... 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 I have the O'Reilly plastic radiator. Only complaint is that the holes for the fan shroud were drilled too low. If you aren't using a fan shroud, should be great. Edit: my radiator is on a 720, not a 620, so maybe my review isn't most useful..... :) 2 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yup it's a rock auto part. Didn't really want plastic, but that's what they had. Works fine though. As you can see I run shroudless 2 Quote Link to comment

Ron1200 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Though not posting much, I'm not a slacker... Made a bumper for the 620. Here's a example of JRock's excellent powder work in 'near chrome'. 5 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Finally decided to move ahead with paint on the 620. Working with Resurrection Auto Body. As you can see the bed I hauled down from Roy is no longer green. The side seams have been welded and the inside Rhino-lined. The color is Scion 'cement' gray. The truck goes in today. 8 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Digging the simplistic look of that bumper. Excellent color choice :cool: 3 Quote Link to comment

Ron1200 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 What ih is that? It's the bed you helped me find last year :) Maybe this will help you remember... 2 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Digging the simplistic look of that bumper. Excellent color choice :cool: Nice truck! Thanks for the comments. I really wanted this color, but could not locate a paint code and had no sample to scan... The Scion gray is a little more blue in person, but it's a OK 2nd choice. 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I work at a Toyota dealer and see that Scion gray everyday. It's a great neutral color. Not over the top. Should look great on your 620. 2 Quote Link to comment
Chuck Most Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Badass little 620! It's the bed you helped me find last year :) Maybe this will help you remember... I think he was asking about the white IH Scout in the pic. 2 Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Looked like a scout but front end looked funky, but then realized the picture was probably taken at the body shop and not your garage. That truck is going to look great in that grew, are you planning to keep those mag wheels you have? 2 Quote Link to comment

That truck is going to look great in that grew, are you planning to keep those mag wheels you have? Thanks Ted. Yes I'm gonna keep the Appliance Wire Mags. They are only 14" but I like the way they ride with 185/75-14s on them. BTW I have 6 of them. Four came with the truck and picked up two more from Merlin. Thessseee are the special Datsun version :thumbup: 4 Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Spent Saturday straightening and refinishing the strip on the leading edge of the hood. Surprising how much time one can spend on resurrecting parts. Here's a shout-out to Ted for linking me up with a Ratsun How-To on how to replace the strip retaining nuts/bolts. 620 Hood Trim Hardware Mod 3 Quote Link to comment
