DSmith Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hello to all the datsun fans out there. I'm currently looking at buying a 74 620. I used to have a 77 back in the early 90's but it was stolen from my parents back yard with no trace of it ever showing up. I haven't thought of owning a datsun since. I was browsing the local classifieds and found this 74 for sale. Looks like it's in decent shape. Needs a couple leaks fixed, but the guy is doing that before it is sold. Truck has a dual carb set up So hopefully soon I'll have it parked at my place. Devon Quote Link to comment

DSmith Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 truck stolen from back yard and never recovered? sounds familar... :( Yes! it was very strange indeed. It was half stripped and didn't even have wheels on it. was a on ongoing project at the time. Also Not sure if this 74 is a auto. i just started to email the guy about it. I'll have to ask. I hope it's a standard as i loved driving my old one with the standard. My other 3 vehicles are all auto. So will be fun to shift gears in a bulletside again. I really wish I had bought a Kingcab I found a few years ago. Was a all original rust free truck which is unheard of up here in the land of Snow and salt. LOL! Quote Link to comment

It does sound like someone didn't work on their truck enough and someone else had it towed so the back yard wouldn't turn into a wrecking yard. If true its a hard lesson ...

Got a heater in my Truck and I'm off to the Rodeo! i have a cd called dr dementos mementos, that has that song along with many other hilarious tunes. bgot it back when i used to trade music online in about 2001 or so. do you know that name of the artist? and why didn't you buy the truck? 2 Quote Link to comment

SHADY280 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 hey, truck looks good, go look in person. where you at in canada, its kinda big!! Quote Link to comment
datman Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 hey, truck looks good, go look in person. where you at in canada, its kinda big!! Well! that truck was up almost 2yrs ago. At the time i was thinking it was alot for it. but now I'm wondering. I plan on finding one in the spring when it's warmer. there used to be tons around. I'm sure there is something sitting around I'll find. I know of at least 1 orange KC I saw up till a couple yaers ago that was driving around. Quote Link to comment
SHADY280 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 i was more wondering where dsmith was from as his profile says nothing. i know where your from datman. i almost might be willing to part with my little truck, and its in canada, and rust free. but i dunno, i kinda like it but havent driven it for 1.5 years.

datman Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 We are both the same guy! I joined in 07 and rejoined this past fall. had forgot about joining as DSmith. I used to live in Mission when I was younger. Also Aldergrove. I have Family in Abottsford too. the blue truck was in Aberdeen Sask. about 15 min outside of S'toon. Quote Link to comment
ratsar_nx Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 So I'm not the only person in Saskatchewan who's on this forum :eek: I guess we have both big cities represented, though since I'm in Regina. I've only seen a handful of Datsuns around here; a few Z cars and a 720. Quote Link to comment
