Description
1979 Datsun 620 King Cab full restoration — watch this abandoned rusty pickup go from severe corrosion and decades of neglect to a beautiful classic Datsun back on the road. This full ASMR restoration features rust repair, metal fabrication, bodywork, paint, L20B engine rebuilding, chassis restoration, interior restoration and final assembly.
Hidden for years behind old dirt bikes, tires and racing equipment at a forgotten motorcycle shop in the Arizona desert, this 1979 Datsun 620 Deluxe King Cab had been slowly destroyed by intense sun, dust and seasonal weather. Its original blue paint was badly faded and peeling, the rocker panels and cab corners were rusted through, the pickup bed was heavily corroded, the tires were flat and the original L20B engine had been neglected for years.
After the truck is discovered, it is carefully recovered from the yard and transported back to the Good Old Cars workshop for a complete restoration.
The Datsun is stripped down to its King Cab body, separate cargo bed and ladder frame so the hidden corrosion can be fully exposed. Rusted sections are cut away, new steel repair panels are fabricated and welded into place, and the body is carefully straightened before localized filler, block sanding and primer.
The body is then refinished in period-correct Datsun 305 Light Blue Metallic, while the chrome trim, grille, lighting, factory steel wheels and blue/black interior are restored to match the original character of this classic Japanese pickup.
The original Nissan/Datsun L20B 1,952cc SOHC naturally aspirated carbureted inline-four is completely disassembled, cleaned, measured and rebuilt. The cylinder bores are inspected and honed where required before the rotating assembly, cylinder head, timing system, carburetor and original 5-speed manual transmission are carefully reassembled and tested.
Once the engine, chassis, suspension, brakes, interior, glass and exterior components are restored, everything is reunited for final assembly. Fluids, brakes, electrical systems, engine operation and road behavior are checked before the Datsun finally returns to the road.
Turn up the volume and enjoy the satisfying sounds of cutting, welding, grinding, sanding, painting, engine rebuilding, mechanical assembly and the classic carbureted L20B coming back to life.
