TENDRIL Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 i like how he has a plaque and decals on the truck that says 520 a quick google search would tell you no 520's were made in 69' it would be one thing if he did not truly know, and didn't flaunt it as a 520 but this is just silly the pink slip has to say the vin and the vin clearly will have a 521 ,.....unless swapped id plates but you cant go that far into a datsun build and not know WTF it is... nice truck tho Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 521 according to Datsun is the "minor change" of the 520. They were badged the same. In USA they were both badged "1300" until the engine change, and in Japan both were badged "Datsun". Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 ok but completely different from the fire wall forward ...the 521 vin if stock will not have a 520 in it.. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes, they have different model numbers. Mainly cosmetic changes same chassis. Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 This pretty common in the auto industry. Minor model changes lead to an addition number that usually reflects the type of change or revision. An example would be the late 80's - early 90's Mazda B-series trucks. They started with the B1600 and worked up through B1800, B2000, B2200 to B2600i, to reflect the engine changes However, the entire time, the truck was still a B-Series. Toyota for some reason seems to ever do there internal numbers sequential. The generation of Tacoma and Corolla was 635N and 222N respectively. The models before that were not even close to those numbers. Interestingly enough, in the Tesla world, just like in the PC world, it's migrated to "software" type titles. Model S Alpha, Beta, Gen I, Gen II. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 '70 was the first PL521 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 '70 was the first PL521 What about the 69 521's? My 69 VIN is L521 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have PL521-207797. It was made in 9/69. It is a reflector truck, does not have side marker lights, only round reflectors. It also had engine L-16 389322 in it. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 L521s were all '69 model year J13 engine or (about) October '68 to June '69. PL521s were '70 model year L16 engine or (about) July '69- Sept '70. I have PL521-207797. It was made in 9/69. It is a reflector truck, does not have side marker lights, only round reflectors. It also had engine L-16 389322 in it. PL521 #207797 is a '70 serial number. Round reflectors were used until Sept '69 when the rectangular ones were introduced. Quote Link to comment
