karddet Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hello all, new to Ratsun, just bought a 74 Datsun 620 with a topper. Bought the truck for $500 because I need something I can sleep in while working road construction and because I have always wanted a Datsun. Was wondering if anyone here had built a sleeper platform for theirs, with a bed above a small storage area? Would love to see pics and plans if you have them. Excited to be a part of this great community! Quote Link to comment
petercscherer Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Nothing exactly in a 620, but I've seen stuff like this online: Obviously, due to the size of the Datsun bed, your options will be scaled down from these full-size examples. ~Peter 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 i've thought about doing it with my longbed if i ever put a canopy on it but i'd go ridiculous with the storage solutions and would end up with a couple deep cycles to run outlets for phone charging and lights and shit. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is it long enough that hobo's feet won't be sticking out???? :poke: 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I curl up at night and that's why longed instead of short bed 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I had a home made 'camper' 521 but the 'bed' was hinged on chains to the wall so you could get at everything on the floor Quote Link to comment
