My new "Toy", 65 Datsun 320 Pick-Up


320Mia

Recommended Posts

Just bought this truck from a guy who was working on it, but didn't have the funds to finish it. I've never owned a Datsun before and also know very litte about them. From the small research I've found this is supposed to be a rare piece.. What do you guys think? Can you guys tell me about it (example: how many came to the US) ? I'm not plannig on keeping it for a long time. I'm just gonna finish it, have some fun, and when I get bored, it'll go up for sale..... Thanks Eddie (Miami,Florida)

That's a clean truck you have there.

What size lowering blocks do you have out back?

Did they remove any leafs?

I need to start working on mine. :(

Did that truck come from California?

 

Looks Familiar ?¿?

Jefe: What size lowering blocks do you have out back? 2" blocks

Did they remove any leafs? It has 2 leaf... I have no idea what came originally.....

 

Lil89Ram50: what’s left for you to do?

Right now it's at shop rebuilding the carb, getting a new fabricated Manifold seal, getting the original fuel pump up & going, and tie any loose ends to make it drivable and reliable. Thank God I found a Puerto-rican crew here who live and breathe Datsun's

The Interior needs finishing. The original bench was re-upholster and new door panels were also made, but now it needs a new carpet and door seals

The bed needs to be painted. I was thinking wood as I had a few 60's Chevys and 50's Fords, but I think I might kill the original look it has now.

aNY SUGGESTION???

 

Wayno: Thanks, i've notice your one of the "Datsun Gurus" and your opinion is much appreciated.... :0)

Yeah! Pac's truck!! I am so glad it showed back up on Ratsun! As I recall it was sold to a guy and shipped to Fla. The guy wound up getting banned here, but just because of general attitude, and not anything to do with the truck.

 

He bought the truck to drive for a bit and then flip it in Fla. Not sure if he was the last owner or if there were a few in between.

 

It is a sweet 320, and prolly the nicest Fla! Congrats!!
