Ehhhh just another truck

[metalmonkey47]

Think I'm getting new rims.... going to look at these tomorrow.

Whatcha think? Add says they're Enkie Center lines.... not sure.






I've been away for a while, haven't really done much with the truck. I've decided that I'm extremely tired of the truck's different colors, so I'll be rattlecanning it matte white for a little while, until i have another car to drive and can gut this thing. It needs to be ripped into pieces and there's a lot of metal to replace.

I'm going for this kind of look. It's a buddies 240 that's rattle canned. Photo's don't do it justice!

Thanks man!

At Welcome to Atlanta (IA pre meet) my buddy and his Fiance from ATL Vinyl (fresh setup) hooked me up with something cool...

It's not finished yet, but here's what we're working with.

Loving this so far, datsun's are too cool

[metalmonkey47]

Yeah man! Truck looks like shit, but I'll be there

Lookin good bro!

You still going to IA this Sunday?

[metalmonkey47]

I got it off another forum from a guy on the west coast. Cost me 50 bones.

Pretty sure it's an old school Grant Mustang replica.

That steering wheel is dope, where'd you find it?

[metalmonkey47]

Oh and I got a new one of these thingys.

Some work on the bed done last weekend.

I meant aftermarket in the US and compared to other engines like the 6 cyl L series or even the KA(people claim that the KA has a small aftermarket, so compared to the l20b, the l20b aftermarket is tiny).

Check that out.

My mom used to have a datsun 620 regular cab, so I have a soft spot for these.

Ahhh yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah, L6 and KA are decent, I don't know. I'm just partial to the L series motor.

That truck is sweet, wonder what ever happened to it! Looks like it was built local.


Anyways,,,, I've been away for a while. I've got a lot. But more on that later...

Doesn't seem bad considering its age, I would **** to see what mine would make

There's lots of aftermarket on the L20B, but it's either expensive, or hard to find. I've managed to source out most of it, and fund it all, so I should be okay.

I would LOVE to have an L28 if it could fit easily, but that's far too expensive for me.

I love l20b's, but there just isn't much aftermarket for them.

Kind of wish that the engine bay was longer like in the 720 so you could fit an l28. Good luck with the stroker man.

Yea man! Keep me posted on that roll out.

Also what did you do with your 205's?

Will do!

I sold them to a buddy :P You wouldn't want them, they were too big! (tall)

Can you guess what I did today?





Kinda confirms my suspicion that I'm losing a LOT of power somewhere. We only ran to 5300 since they were a little concerned about running it any higher, and I didn't want to risk it hurting anything, even though i'm sure it's fine. No biggie. I've been getting more transmission noise out of it, so I didn't want to break that either. It wouldn't have continued building power past that I don't think, so it's not hurting anything really. I'm happy to see it's consistent, but it sucks that it's so down on power. No matter, the LZ will make a LOT more power I imagine.
