Bookend KC 620's ... Father & Son trucks


heretic

Recommended Posts

Sorry for the late intro. I've been lurking here for a bit & have meant to start a build thread for awhile but I'm terrible with documenting progress.

 

EDIT: I will do my best to try & keep this as chronological as possible.

 

Long of the short is, I was quite excited when my son wanted to build a Datsun. My very first car was a B210 & I have a long love affair with them. His first "want" was a 510 but being that he needed a daily, it was out of his AND my price range. He quickly set his eyes on a 620 KC

 

We watched & watched CL & finally one popped up. We struck a deal & off we drove.

 

 

We brought it home & he immediately got to buffing out the abused paint.

I actually eneded up finding brand new Belltech dropped spindles on CL for about 1/2 the cost of new. Dude bought them for his D21 & ended up bagging his truck & decided not to use them.

 

So over to my buddies shop & up she goes & off with the front suspension & steering.

thanks guys much appreciated.

 

My son has had his hands on every aspect of this "build" & I'm quite proud of his effort AND patience with me :) I tend to forget that he doesn't know why I'm doing something a particular way, mechanically speaking & sometimes I need to do a bit more explaining..... I'm learning.

So with the new steering, bushings, ball joints & dropped spindles on went these beauties.... machined D21 V6 hubs, rotors & calipers

Time for an alternator upgrade .... 

 

Junkyard 95amp Saturn SL1 alternator. Took it to the parts house & had them run a test on it. Checked out good.

We pulled the fan/pully off an old Chevy alt I had laying around.
