Re: 1973 Datsun 620 Pickup

I did a lot of work on one a long time ago.

Seems like the engines were called L20B. The transmission was a 4 speed manual.

We swapped an engine and trans from a Corolla into it. The trans was a 5 speed and we had to hump the floorboard for clearance.

The carbs on both engines were junk so we got a 2 barrel progressive Weber carb for it from one of the magazine companies.

Only down side to the trucks is they have single wall cargo beds so if anything slides around inside of the bed it will put dinks in the outside paintwork. I welded some bars inside the bed in front and behind the wheelwells to act as bumpers so stuff wouldn't ruin the bedsides.
