Novice questions.

Hello,

My wife thinks I've lost my mind,

I recently purchased a 1975 620 4x4 automatic as a pretty truck to hunt/cruise with. I went out looking for my 13 year old nephews first truck and found my new Datsun instead. Also to be a tinker project with my nephew and son.

 

Trying to figure out what parts were used in converting it to 4 wheel drive. I'm hoping to tap the mass knowledge of this forum.

Also if someone can point me in the direction of instructions on adjusting the high idle of a 3236 Weber carburetor currently I have no high idle other than my left foot.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Racerx,

Perfect, my Google-foo was weak.

 

King Rat,

That's what I had read but wasn't sure if it was a period/dealer conversion or more recent.

 

Farmer,

Yep it was listed again in December and only an hour away from me. Very stoked I was able to talk the guy down to something I could afford.

 

Thanks all for the replies.

Looks like a Jeep D30 front axle, probably from a early/mid 70's CJ. The t-case is a D20. Both are easy to get parts for. The front brakes may be a different story. If they have been converted to 6 lug, you will need to figure out how they did that and what parts they used.

 

There are a lot of aftermarket upgrades for both the axle and the t-case.

You can convert the front axle to 6 lug disc brake using a mix of Jeep, Ford and Chevy components. Or you may be able to do the conversion using Jeep J series pickup parts, which were 6 lug. The key lies in the spindle. There are about 5 different spindles - short, long, small and big bearing, 5 and 6 bolt (where it bolts to the knuckle).

 

Call the guys at Parts Mike in Auburn, CA. They are good with this stuff and should be able to sell you all the parts. http://www.partsmike.com/
