Charlie69 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 What will this be when you are done. Are you using any of the 720 cab or bed? Quote Link to comment

GT2 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 4 hours ago, Charlie69 said: I am curious as to why such a radical notch? I wanted the frame to not be seen below the cab. I wanted it to look low, without dragging the frame on the ground. Thats the general idea, we'll see how it goes. 3 Quote Link to comment

sebpv Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 Great skills and nice progress. I only wish I could drop my truck but our regs wont allow it. I wonder if a full custom floor would pose certains issues. 1 Quote Link to comment
GT2 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 So far I can see some problems for my channeled floor: The transmission tunnel needs to be raised. Possibly because I'm using a larger pathfinder 5 speed ( 30 something?), but because of this I might loose my heater. With the stock trans it might not be an issue? Maybe I can relocate the heater, but since this is a fair weather vehicle I probably don't need it. 1 Quote Link to comment

GT2 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Yes, vg33 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Then yes the transmission will be massive. The 71C from the 300ZX non turbo is the same size as the 71B in the 620. Two wheel drive from an early VG Hardbody would also work 1 Quote Link to comment
