i bought this truck about 2 years ago for $100. i only have about 600 into it at this point. i didnt ever really do much with it until i finally got it to zerogarage. of course they knocked it out. dave color match the paint and replaced the passeger floor. plus painted my new valence and taillights. john did the brakes and clutch repairs. this is how it looked when i bought it.

Nice collection of cars there. Love the 620 especially! Did the 620 wheels bolt up directly? The wheels look good on the truck.

the titan wheels need to be bored out an inch to fit the frontier/620. the fronty and 620 have the same wheel specs. i have a set of 17" also, so i have 4 sets to switch between the 2 trucks. i want some fat whitewalls for the stock 620 wheels.

You can tell true old school when the cargo tie downs are on the outside of the bed. Rock solid man.

i guess i should mention that i promised my wife i would sell this truck if i bought the crown. :( i really dont know what to do.

glides-i was going to chop off the hooks for a smoother look, but i think i like them now. does give it that 70's look.

Nice. I love 620's. Been keeping my eyes open for one for years but every one I come across is a rusted out POS. Yours looks nice.
Good looking 210 as well. I have a 79 210 with an sr20det sitting in it that I may get around to finishing one of these days.

thanks man, 79 210 with an SR? that will be fast. what about the rear end? mine looks really tiny on my b210. doesn't seem like it could take much power. did you make the mounts yourself?

How cool man. I love the titan rims on the frontier. I actually like the old wheels/bottle caps with the smaller tires. The Frontier wheels look just a bit chunky.

I totally agree though that whitewalls will set it off. I saw this cool video on youtube where a guy showed how to make home made wide white walls with a grinder, and you'd be really surprised to see how easy it was. He took some used junkyard whitewall tires and they looked awesome when he was finished.

You should check it out.

Does anyone have any info on Zero garage on who they are and what they do? I've heard someone mention them before, but I don't really know. Thanks

i agree on the stockers, i just need new tires. i have read up on the grinding whitewalls thing a few times. i will try soon maybe and see how it goes. zerogarage is an all purppose old school japanese shop. they do everything from swaps to paint. contact member rt132kp61 for more info. or garagezero.com
