Dabsun Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I've been lurking here ever since I picked up my 620 last November. I've read through at least 100 threads and I have to say I am very thankful for this site and all of the great info! Here's my '76 620. Making slow progress, but it is my daily driver! Hoping in the next 6 months I will move into a house with a garage ( not only to get more work done on the truck, but for my actual work as well!) 2 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 What is that seat out of? Looks nice Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 The wheels are ultra 164's or something like that. Scooped them off a guy with a dodge.... He's like "those are going on that truck?" Specs are 17x9 all around, unknown offset Tires are 205/40 And I have no idea where the seat came from... I thought it was oem! Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 The truck went through a very traumatic roll-over crash over three years ago.... It sat outside in my friends yard for two years with a cracked windshield and no air in the tires... I scooped it up for $500 and gave her some new life and love. I'll show pics of the passenger side, that's the side that took the most damage Next step is getting the frame straightened, I got a quote from a local shop that sounded pretty good... Once the frame is straight she's going down another inch or two... I need to tuck rim hahah Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Those rims look nice on there. I like it. Welcome to the fun house. Or maybe the hunger games, depending on who you ask :) Quote Link to comment

I have that SAME sonic hanging around somewhere haha. Good to know this is an oem seat! I don't mind it, but I'm 6'3" and I wonder if I'll have more leg room in a bucket seat... Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Engine shot. yes I know that radiator isn't for this truck... And that's a bungee on the battery... Whatevs she runs good. Almost 170,000 miles. 2 Quote Link to comment

(bad back) 1 Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 And this is the passenger side (exterior) damage from the accident.... He feel asleep at the wheel, went off road, hit a boulder and flipped the tuck onto the roof/passenger side.... Can't wait to get her all straight! 2 Quote Link to comment

DatsuNissanLove Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Yah ima do wutever possible to keep that bench.. if not ill just use it for my cod gaming seat.. haha.. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 np..yah im guessing it had that curve so the dog leg could have room to wiggle.. even then mine almost hits..im guessing the previous owner of urzz swapped it out.. That's a normal 620 seat used after '73. Previous seats were traditional bench without the notch in them. The 620 never had a dogleg. Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 good lookin truck looks like minimal damage for going on its side bucket seats should give you more leg room depending on the bucket style though Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 isnt mine a dogleg?if not wut is it? Is your reverse gear over to the left where 1st would normally be? Mike, weren't there some dogleg 240's? Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 good lookin truck looks like minimal damage for going on its side bucket seats should give you more leg room depending on the bucket style though Thank you! I am loving it! .... Wait tell you see the front beam on the frame (the part that hit the Boulder) Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 One from this morning. Hopefully when I straighten the frame out the driver side front wheel won't poke like it is now 2 Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Love the hue! 1 Quote Link to comment
Dabsun Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Here's a pic of frame damage... Well this isn't all of it... Everything needs to come out to get straightened When I got the truck I thought the motor had to have been damaged... Sure enough, the crank pulley was shattered on the inside and part of it was melded to the crankshaft! Quote Link to comment
