wayno Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 This is going to be interesting, and a lot of work. I am a little worried that there is not going to be any more room in the back than a 720 kingcab if the first photo in this thread is exactly what your going for. I will be following this. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 That will mean that the cab and box will be connected, your drawing shows a line separating them and the rocker was a different level, so I assumed they were separate. This kind of stuff is a learn as you go thing, all my 520/521 kingcabs were made like the 720 kingcab, 14 inches behind the seats and were planned this way, I have yet to make a crew cab, I keep finding other things/projects that get my attention, but I plan to someday make a crew cab 521. Have you seen Steroids 4 door 620? thanks wayne , that is the plan but i do have a couple ideas on what to do about that . im thinking about doing something like i did with the " Lil Hooker " , so taking the cab into the bed , if i do that i will have to use another kc top . Here is a thread with a few 4 door 620s, to bad they don't have interior photos, although you likely have a plan already anyway. https://www.google.com/url?q=http://community.ratsun.net/topic/38750-datsun-620-4-door-trucks/&sa=U&ei=yvggVJHSMM-ayASH6YBA&ved=0CAgQFjAB&client=internal-uds-cse&usg=AFQjCNG40pC3hu0tMdidnG6MQtczGXzXiQ 1 Quote Link to comment

Have you seen Steroids 4 door 620? yes i have seen his truck a bunch , it is play it by ear , and let the project guide itself . and the drawing is a close idea that i will come very close to .

Seems like it's a kingcab shortbed chassis with the front section of the original bed sectioned out to make way for the crew extension. It is very similar, if not the exact same, to what most manufacturers do now in their current production crewcabs. It seems like a very overwhelming project to take on but I really hope you finish as it would be very cool to see your stylized version in real life. Quote Link to comment

I plan stretching the frame a little . I don't want the chopped off bed look . Quote Link to comment

cruznude Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yes, I've seen what your looking for and at the time just ignored this. Granted 30 years ago in New Mexico I saw one for sale and really didin't think much of it except that it was cool. KC frame exactly and modify the rest. good thread give me ideas and good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment
