Thanks to everyone's replies. I don't want to make the truck a really rough ride. Just want to make it look better than the going down hill look it has now. Really just wanted to make it level. Probably only take the front down an inch and the back to make it level. Thanks again.

I have a previous post called (1979 Datsun/Nissan 620 pickup) in that post are photos of how the truck sits empty. I would like to lower the front about 1 1/2" and the back to make the truck level. I have read that adjusting the torsion bars in the front will work but I'm not sure what to do for the back. Two questions: 1. How are the torsion bars adjusted? 2. What hardware do I need to lower the back?

I'm sure it would pass smog in Cal if the pump was hooked up. All the parts are there. I'm in NC and a truck this old does not have to go through emissions.

The dash cap fit pretty good. I had to do some cutting around the grove box opening. Other than that I give it 4 out of 5. Its a 3/4 cover. Some don't come down as far as this one. Have to really know what your getting before you order.

There is a guy here in Raleigh that I use on my boats. He has an upholstery business.

Thanks. Everyone that's seen it has told me that knowing me, your going to keep it. For now is't just another project. It is nice, but I don't want to spend a ton of money on it. Don't want to spend more than it's worth. What ever that happens to be.

Ok Dun for now. Still have allot to reinstall. [/url]">http://http://s50.photobucket.com/user/dplrbruno/media/IMG_20160828_093322853_HDR_zpsya5xnzpt.jpg.html'>

This is the after

Interior before. You can just see the seat cover on the lower right side. That's the best part of the original seat. [/url]">http://http://s50.photobucket.com/user/dplrbruno/media/IMG_20160331_153939037_zpskrmhn3ed.jpg.html'>

hope this didn't post the last photo and this one as well. [/url]">http://http://s50.photobucket.com/user/dplrbruno/media/IMG_20160828_093311648_zpstgm1dfjn.jpg.html'>

Not sure if this will work. [/url]">http://http://s50.photobucket.com/user/dplrbruno/media/IMG_20160427_185735781_zpszvpyn5hy.jpg.html'>

Just for the record, I'm not "Dicking wit it or screwing it up or adding problems". I'm trying to fix what's broken. The only thing I modified was the steering wheel. I had a racing wheel already so why buy another one? It needed a dash cover, original dash top was trashed. Glove box has a single household door hinge on it so I've replaced it with a hinge that looks and works great. The seat cover was so bad he was sitting on a baby mattress so the springs didn't poke him in the butt. The guy that does my boat interiors replaced the foam and cover on the seat for $150.00. Needed a coil and the timing was off. Rear breaks are in great shape but the front disk pads are down to about 20%. Have them, just not replaced them yet. Had it painted and replaced the window and door seals. It has an exhaust leak from the manifold so I need to get that fixed next. Only fixing the broken. Just got back from fishing and leaving again for a couple days to the coast. When I get back I'll figure out how to post photos. Thanks King Rat for your link to the adding photos. Hope to get those added in a few short days.

Like I said it will be for sale. Your welcome to make me an offer. I can post pictures once I figure it out. Just signed up on this site 1 hour ago. dplrbruno

Thanks for the info. I was told by someone else that only California trucks had the smog junk on it. Just thought if someone else wanted this stuff I would be willing to let it go. It's not hooked up anyway. I have 3 other trucks and cars and 5 boats. Don't really need another toy. I wanted to get it fixed up because I knew the guy that died couldn't afford to do it. Just wanted to do it for him. Besides it gives me something to do besides fish. It is a nice truck but I just don't really have anyplace to keep it where it won't get all screwed up sitting out side. I fix up boats and sometimes cars to sell anyway so doing this to this truck just gave me one more thing to do. dplrbruno

I aquired a 1979 620 truck through a family death. The truck was in rough shape to say the least. Not much rust at all but never cared for. I was a California truck cause it has all the smog pumps and junk still on it. Not connected but there. Truck runs great and I just replaced the seat, installed dash cover, steering wheel, and just the other day got it back from paint. Replaced the door seals and window weather strips. Still working on putting it back together. Have a question for you folks out there. I would like to take off all the California emissions stuff but I need a standard manifold to replace the one that's on there. Would anyone be interested in my old hardware and anyone know where I may get a stock non California manifold? Also looking for a video on how the front brake pads are replaced. Tried Youtube but no luck. I would like to sell the truck once I get it where I want it. Currently licensed in NC. Thanks dplrbruno
