]2eDeYe Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 That looks like a solid start to a nice truck. I would keep the bed, but that's just me. :) Do you plan on keeping the mirrors on it? 2 Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yes I do plan on keeping the mirrors on it. Quote Link to comment
mikeanike99 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think I've decided to keep the bed lower it 2" powder coat the wheels matte black and paint the truck matte white and put either chrome or cream white hubcaps on 1 Quote Link to comment

mikeanike99 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 WELCOME TO RATSUN You're off to a great start - nice looking old truck! It's a little hard for me to make out, but does the lettering on the front of that rack spell out DATSUN? Why yes... Yes It does say datsun it's something my brother jastrunk97 made out of a tailgate from a 620. He also sold me my truck. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I would just buff out the paints clean the wheels and keep them the same color and white wall tires if not rotted and just run them. I have run soem different wheels on my 521 and people love the white rims with stock hubcaps better than the armadas and pathfinder rims Quote Link to comment
