78' DATSUN 620 CHINOOK BUILD

[MIKEYRULES]

Just copped this RARE piece of machinery from Oregon. Love this girl. Flew to Portland from Los Angeles and drove it back with no problems at all. This thing is clean besides a lil patina.

My plans are to color coordinate the interior to my liking a lil more, take the carpet out add more cheap wood flooring. 15x10 wheels and fender flares in front. Flexible solar panels to charge the coach battery and run fridge. Take out big propane tank and convert to lil coleman green ones. Swap Grant steering wheel for a Nardi. FBSS airbag suspension so i can level out camper in style. Engine swap to either a KA24de or Sr20det when stock motor dies.

Nice. THere is a Chinook, minus the truck, for sale local to me. IF it had the truck, I would consider it a project. Yours looks nice. Best of luck with your new rig.

I've never seen one based on a Datsun, very cool.

I have a soft spot for these old 620 trucks.
