FrankRizzo Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks^. Im scamming a lot of ideas from your build! They are old school Recaros. I have to have the backs almost 90 degrees and slid all the way back and Im still cramped...and I'm 5" 8": I went to the local Carrier dealer today and picked up my new A/C unit and coil. All the warehouse guys came out to check out the truck. I was kinda embarrassed. FWIW: if you are thinking about "shaving" your bed hooks off, I'd advise against it if you are going to use the 620 as a truck..... 5 Quote Link to comment

FrankRizzo Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 got the stock grill back in. The HID's hafta go...I have a set of Hella H4 low and H1 high beams on order from Summit, with a wiring harness/relays. 3 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yanked the Grant GT steering wheel... And installed this '74 Datsun 260Z wheel I got on the Bay of E: Much easier low speed steering now! . Edit: thought it would be a little closer to the dash, but because it is dished...it ends up being the same distance. . 4 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted March 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 One thing that bothered me from the get-go was the truck was waaaay too loud. Its almost embarrassing in the city. So I took it to the muffler shop this weekend and yanked the muffler and installed a Walker turbo with a 8" Cherry Bomb glasspak as a resonator and ran the tip all the way to the back. It sounds soo much better now and I'm not sucking in exhaust fumes with the windows down at a stop light. The old exhaust dumped right before the rear wheel on the drivers side: Out: 6 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 still too loud 1 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 still too loud Well, the phone is like 2 feet away from the exhaust tip. It is 10X quieter than before the muffler/resonator swap. Because the exhaust runs all the way out the back now, it is much quieter in the cab and it does not really growl until about 3000 RPM. It's a KA24DE motor. I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment
dueceduece11 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Do you run a ebrake on you truck with all disc? 1 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted March 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Do you run a ebrake on you truck with all disc? Not currently. The PO never hooked it up and even removed the passenger side cable completely and CUT the drivers side cable... :sneaky: I bought two new cables online and will have to figure it out (after I get the speedo cable leak fixed) because it makes me nervous when parking in public areas... Do you have any insight on the parking brake? . 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Maybe keep a set of chocks with you if worried. 1 Quote Link to comment
dueceduece11 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not right now. I'm currently doing a rear disc swap on on my truck. If you can would you post a pic of Your rear set up? 1 Quote Link to comment
2wheel-lee Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm also in the process of doing a disc brake swap using the Isuzu rear calipers. I just sent the hubs to be redrilled for a different pattern, so I haven't installed anything yet. Upon initial inspection, I don't believe the stock 620 cables will cleanly adapt to the Isuzu calipers. Though maybe with some creativity, they can be hacked to work, I doubt they're long enough to reach the calipers in the rear position. I might get some brake cables for a 1988 Isuzu longbed pickup and see if I can make them work, though I expect to still have to do something creative where they join the hand-lever cable. It's also wonky how the cable has to bend after it leaves the caliper. Nonetheless, I'm curious to see how people have addressed this. 1 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I can't even tell you what kind of disks they are. I'll try to snap a pic this weekend and see what you guys think. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 i've done all around disks on mine. i'm pretty sure my set up includes isuzu rear rotors (it says it on the caliper bracket) went with rear mounting location for the calipers since the ebrake cable would have to do a pretty hard bend to make it to the caliper with front mount, but the stock 620 cables aren't long enough so i've just been keeping a set of chocks in my truck as a fail safe if i park on unlevel ground. have actually used them a few times too but always pointing up hill so i just drive forward a few feet and grab the chock before taking off. might try stealing the cables from one of my lwb trucks later on. 2 Quote Link to comment

FrankRizzo Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Here are some pics... Do these look like Izusu calipers? That spring thing on the piston is the parking brake. 1 Quote Link to comment
2wheel-lee Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 Yes, those are the Isuzu calipers. I can't quite see, but is the cable connected? It looks like the cable is going toward the rear of the truck??? I will have to replumb the lines on my rear axle. I'm not a fan of the goofy line connections as intended with the kits. Be careful with that line - it looks like it could get pinched between the axle and the bump stop. Did you cut the back plate off or press the bearing out? I pressed the bearing out so I can send the axles to get reworked. 1 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted April 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 No, there are no cables connected. The place where the clevis pin would go is empty. They were installed by the PO who removed one cable and cut the other one. Now I see what you mean about the weird angle, it is almost like they have to pull in an upwards direction.... 1 Quote Link to comment
