Anyone see anything wrong with the first picture? No, it's not the deadly sling system that I rigged. If anyone has been following this build they may have noticed that the fuel tank door was removed. I'm not sure what the previous owner was trying to do, I mean don't get me wrong I love the shaved look but where the heck am I going to fill my fuel tank? I've been coming up with some ideas. My first thought was to run the fuel tank neck and filler assembly on the inside face of the sidewall of the tray and recess it into one of the access panels. Alternatively I have been thinking about a flush mounted filler that sits flush with the bed floor. What do you guys all think? I've seen them installed on hot rods and I might be able to drill a hole in the bed and in the tank so that I can fit one of these job-ei-doos to them.













Pop top

^^^^ this one is quite expensive though

Top one is similar to ones on boats. I've been thinking about similar on stanza too.

The inner panel open right above the tank. Why not put the filler there?

extend the fuel fill up to the door jam and hide it there. right below the latch?

or get the flush motorcycle type filler cap

Where did you get the new looking fuse box lid from?

That is probably the most common part which is still available new - they are constantly on eBay.


This one is actually for the Datsun 620 pickup, as it has a 20A headlight fuse

I got it from Greece on eBay. The package said LB120 but could be for a 620 as well.

Good ideas on the fuel tank filler ideas. Not sure whether I want to go sidewall or bed floor.

Got some more work done today.

The back of the gauge cluster was riddled with overspray, it is tough stuff seems like 2k paint. Very hard to get off. I spent a good hour or two rubbing the circuits with a pencil eraser to try and clean them up. Not sure if I will use the cluster, might swap for a spare that is cleaner when it arrives in the mail along with more of my spare parts from Australia.

Got my clutch lever dust cover in the mail today too.

Also sanded and put the final coats on the dash pad. Very happy with the results, you can hardly tell the crack was even there.

Pictures.

Quote:We can tell because no 1200 used a 20A fuse, not even the last 1995 model.

The 620 started out in 1972 using the same fuse box as the 1200, but in later years they changed the wiring in the 620. When used in a 1200, put a 15A fuse in that spot and all will be safe. See Fuse Box.

Great work on the dash!!! That's the best I've seen. Did you use flat black vinyl spray paint?
