1977 Datsun 620 KC - My First Dat!

Recommended Posts

this truck was on Craigslist 3 hours away from my house and I talked to the owner and he said someone was coming to look at it before I called. I told myself, wait for a sign. Within that week I saw 3other 620s in town, and you don't see them around here often. So I took that as a sign. Im proud to have it. Plans are to make a Datsun parts and service truck out of it via vinyl. Im also going to change the rear man and rebuild the clutch. It's drive able now, just a little rough around the edges. I'm the third owner and it has 153,000 original miles on it. I spotted some kitchen chairs I'm going to modify as the seats for it until I can find a matching drivers seat.

 

I took this pic after driving 3 hours to go look at it and made the big decision. This was after filling it up before the 3 hour drive back home with my friend driving the Toyota in tow!

until I can figure out how to post pics I will let anticipation build!! Lol.

 

I will start a post in the wanted section as well but I would like to say I'm looking for a set of seats for this or at least a drivers seat to match the passenger seat.

wow. we have the same truck. hows dat engine bay. so cherry and clean. Good score. The original split style bumperettes would look killer.

Is that the original blue #103 by chance? your interior dash and all that!! damn

The paint is a repaint but they used the original code 103 which can still be seen on the code sticker above the grille. What are these bumperettes you speak of?

Had to jack some photos off google as I havent seen to many of the split-style bumbers (bumperettes) on the 620. I would love to rock my KC without a bumper but the law is the law here. So I thought about putting them on mine. I personally like the tighter fit they have. Got them from Ebay in Thailand. Took a month to get here. I am going to have my brother fabricate the brackets. Guy I know says he has them buried in his garage but has yet to produce them for me.

I have the bumperettes on little miss. From what I understand the 620 (520 and 521 also) came from the factory with the bumperettes all the full bumpers are either dealer add on or somebody decided they wanted a full bumper.

 

Edit: nevermin looks like they just chromed my rear panel to look like bumperettes but I ain't been pulled over yet

Before you buy those seats you should look at the hot rod ButlerBuilt seats, as you live in Tennessee so shipping will be cheap or you can even go sit in them before you buy and not pay any shipping. Plus they are safe and certified.
