hobospyder Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Dude that's a clean find. I like the stripes and window accents 1 Quote Link to comment
mcordero8 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 You manage your time very well. I do not see how you have time to do all those wicked modifications, and still have time to find all these nice trucks. Very nice find. Floors look great. Are you going to paint her? 1 Quote Link to comment

I sure try ,for me, not much more fun out there . I love chasing the cars almost as much as I love building them . And the fact is except for a couple of email. I only spent 6 hours of.my day yesterday to save this 620.. it would of got scrapped on a couple more weeks . Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 drove home 3 hours straight no problem ( need a 5 spd much lol) i hate 55 It's my findings of late that a higher range diff is a better and cheaper way to get better freeway speeds before doing a 5-speed swap. Of course both together make for an awesome freeway cruiser. 1 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Looks great! i've told many people that i will never win the lottery, because i dont have that kind of luck , but i make up for it when it comes to other stuff , ( like cars ) so after driving 3 hours yesterday to buy something i've never seen, who knows what could be waiting ?! but with my luck in my pocket i headed out blind . And thanks to my luck , i get there to find a 100% rust free truck that has never been messed with .Thank you luck !! 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks , I need to stop looking , I am getting to many ! How's your dime doin I need to do some catching up on other peoples builds . It runs like shit.. carb issues. I hope to address that soon. 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 today wanted to remove the weber and it just wont idle , before removing it thought i would at least adjust the carb, no matter what i did i couldn't get it to idle . pulled the carb and put on one that i know is perfect and same issue , At this point it is time to look elsewhere, tried setting points and adjusting timing , still wont run unless its above 2200 rpm , so pulled dizzy to inspect and found its shot , the shaft moves side to side so much at low rpm would not run . . Also did some closer looks at the rest of the truck, found some cool stuff to share ... i am falling in love with this thing quick! I know they dont put mirrors on before shipping but did they include them ? both mirrors are the same and are stamped " made in japan " on the back , and these are the only mirrors that have been mounted on the truck . also having the seats recovered next week, while i have the seats out i am going to try and clean and save the carpet. here is some shots from today 1 Quote Link to comment
