Brian D Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Negative on the 521 bumper. Good luck on a 520 bumper Link to comment
DanielC Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think the 520 bumper is "rounder" at the corners than the 521 bumpers. I think in 1967 the front turn signals wrapped around the front and to the side of the front fender. The 521 front and side lights are separate. My first Datsun was a 1967 520, single headlight. It had the "wraparound" turn signals. I have a few Datsun 521 trucks. The earliest has a build date of 9/69. Is is slightly different that the next 521 I Have, build date 01/70. Straightening a Datsun bumper is just like doing body work on sheet metal, except the hammers are heavier, the dollies are bigger, and you hit it harder. Link to comment
billair Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I was quoted 400.00-500.00 to rechrome it..... That seems like way too much money for that job, I will shop around Link to comment
