banzai510(hainz) Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just slam it down with the stock rims!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 That's my plan Banzai! Future plans call for widened steelies with hubcaps. I love the look and I know how much you like the slammed stock look too. Quote Link to comment

greengoon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thanks guys! How about 4"? :thumbup: I finally got some time this weekend. The weather was gorgeous (60 degrees in February in Utah) so I finally got some quality time with the pickup. The rust was busted with a little bit of PB Blaster and everything came right apart. A quick wire brush and some black paint cleaned things up quick. It's been awhile since I put blocks on a mini truck and it's good to be back at it. 3" blocks with one leaf removed, torsions and trimmed bumpstops up front. Rides pretty good. I'm sure this won't be the last time I mess with the suspension but it sure beats the stock height. Hubcaps and whitewalls are staying. Rims will be painted black or a darker color soon. 6 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 rims look perfect already. soembody told me automatic trans fuild mix(50/50) with acetone is better than PBblaster Quote Link to comment
distributorguy Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Basically what Kroil is made of. Much better. Find it here on sale: http://www.kanolabs.com/google/ Best penetrating oil EVER! Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I tried a couple different concoctions, ATF and acetone was one, for some 2 piece rims I wanted to separate awhile back. The PB was handy this time and did the trick. I'll probably go the Kroil route when my can runs out. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 If I'm not mistaken the last time you did blocks on another truck was when we lowered mine :) Loving the look of the truck, lowered with the white walls and hub caps, looks awesome. 1 Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think you're right Steve. What was that, 4 years ago? I kept thinking of yours when I did mine this time. Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hey greengoon, I have a set of 720 4x4 springs I don't need. I'm just down in lehi and travel up to the UofU 4 times a week. Shoot me a pm if you're interested, we can work out a good deal. 1 Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Geez, everyone else's trucks hit the damn dirt with 3 inch blocks! Im on 720 4x4 springs and 4 inch blocks and meh! Love how this sits. Thank you Mantis. Maybe we need to ask the 620 gurus: how many different settups came stock? Were there different spring rates for different models? I was curious about it as well. I thought about going down to just my main leaf and use air shocks for spring rate but I wasn't quite sure about axle wrap -not that I have any horsepower to speak of. 1 Quote Link to comment
distributorguy Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Axle wrap? Lol!!! Good one!!! :rofl: Not a concern... 1 Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I thought someone might get a laugh out of that. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah it has been about four years. I saw a memory picture from the Facebook that popped up a few weeks ago of my truck next to yours at a cars & coffee right after be lowered it. 1 Quote Link to comment

greengoon Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Been driving and enjoying my 620. I've got plans to freshen up the motor so the truck gets out of its own way but that's a few weeks out. Loaded up the wheels for my goon and headed for the tire swap. Love having a truck! Before I swapped out the tires on the 510 rims, I mocked up what slots would look like for giggles. I've been picking away at the 'old man touch up' by scrubbing the rattle can off with a Scotchbrite pad and lacquer thinner. It's working well and the truck is becoming fewer shades of green. The front fenders were quite rough and I had a good idea of what I'd find under there. Time for a little metal finishing. 5 Quote Link to comment
