521 replacement panels

[0.C.]

Thanks for your help Daniel.

I'm also going to look into the front balance, might be a popular item to make.

I think you are talking about these parts.

 

 

 

 

Datsun (Nissan) calls this part Assy-Apron. I have noticed a slight difference in this part, from the earlier reflector 521 trucks, to the later marker light 521 trucks.

 

This probably will be another popular part.

Another one.

This part Datsun calls Rail-Rad core lower.

Did anything ever come out of these replacement floor pan pieces?

[DanielC]

This is what came out. 

I need to make my own panels.  I have a pretty good fitting passenger side panel, and before I permanently weld it in, I want to use it as a pattern to make more.

It appears to me that in order to get the new floor panels welded in, and seam sealed, the cab is probably going to have to be removed from the frame. 

This is the panel I made.

 

I also had to repair the bottom of the kick panel, or wheel well, by adding a section to it.  In this picture, my finger is approximately at the weld seam of the repair section.
