zero Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hey guys! I’m new to Ratsun, I just got my very first car (truck) a 1979 Datsun king cab (strip model i believe) truck from a friend of my dads for $400. it runs (barely), the previous owner cut it up a bit but im going to repair it back to how it was suppose to be haha, looking for parts such as a new dome light, drivers side window assembly, original turn signal arm, and a flywheel currently. I’m also planning on lowering it, and converting it to a stick shift. I’d appreciate ideas and tips to help me along the way :D thanks! 4 Quote Link to comment

650savag Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Is the drivers side window regulator for sale? I need one. Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Good looking truck. Are you leaving the power window setup or going back to cranks? Quote Link to comment
zero Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm going back to cranks, the power windows are terrible.. Quote Link to comment
zero Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Is the drivers side window regulator for sale? I need one. Sorry it's not, look close, the photo of the reg is damaged. I need a new one for the drivers side. Quote Link to comment
zero Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 CORRECTION - The truck is a 78, not 79 hah Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 You did good for $400. Talk to Tdaaj on here for parts. He love his 620's and has loooooots of parts. As to the 240 trans fitting, yes it will, BUT, 240's came with a 4 speed trans. So, you would be better off to keep the one you have until you can find a 5 speed for it. If your going to go through the trouble of swapping over, might as well make it count. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 > 1979 Datsun king cab (strip model i believe) No such thing. All King Cabs were deluxe.models. Cool truck! 1 Quote Link to comment
Eric Garside Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 That looks like a lot of work.... You should just sell it to me ;) Awesome looking truck! I love the color, polish up that old paint and rock it! One of mine is that color but the PO spray painted the front end and ruined it :( Quote Link to comment
zero Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hey guys, I'm having troubles posting images to update this page here. why exactly isn't it allowing my photo-bucket links? Quote Link to comment
GRpufnstuf Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 It could be because photo bucket started attaching their URL link along with the IMG link. If you delete the URL section it might work. Starts with brackets around URL and ends with /URL in brackets This has worked for me and a couple other guys Quote Link to comment
zero Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 https://www.flickr.com/photos/123196602@N04/ Stupid Photo bucket still isn't working so here is Flickr...So anyways the old muffler has been cut off, its been dehooked, lowered 3", and pressure washed. Im currently painting some of the matte black parts the prev owner painted terribly, and i just got some datsun stripes for the sides. New rims are currently in the works. Quote Link to comment
