1990: First Datsun, First Car Truck. Moms boyfriend was moving back to Texas for family reasons and needed something to haul a trailer from Oregon to Texas. He finds a mustard 77 620 deluxe "mechanics special" for 600.00 at a gas/repair station in Troutdale Or. He drives it around for a few months, and i get to learn how to drive stick in it. When he goes to buy a trailer, somehow he's told that there is no way that it will make the trip to Waco pulling a trailer. He gets rid of some furniture, trying to lessen the load but it's not enough. He doesn't have time to sell the truck so he buys some large Oldsmobile...boat of a car. He parks the 620 at my moms house and makes the trip. I only found out afterwards that he gave it to me, for free. I drive it until 2001 when the birth of my daughter and finances meant i had to lighten the vehicle load (my 75 280Z project, a motorcycle and the spouses TJ also wend byby). I sold it to the friend of a neighbor named "Sonny" in Beaverton for 600.00. He quickly put headers on it and then i never saw it again. I cut my mechanical teeth on that truck, and made a lot of memories in it. I'd love to find it again.

Wow, those look great! Did you have those done locally? Or more to the point, where did you get those? I can install skins, i didn't have to ship seats that would be awesome.

I know this is an old post but has anyone had theirs reupholstered, Local to the NW. I've got a couple of LX's that need some TLC. There used to be a guy up in the Seattle area that did good work but i heard he got out of it due to some health issues. Thanks!

I should have my Shiro#820 finished by then, representing the 80's Z family.

It was amazing seeing Y'alls rides...and the ingenuity that went into them. This was my first Canby show. Until now, i thought a disc brake conversion was revolutionary back when i had my 620 Deluxe. What you guys can do, blew my mind. Wish i had room for another KHL.
