Hrvat9 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sweet truck. I love the color, DATSUN!!! (Smackin' bitches.) Curious to see your wheel choice...Might not be your cup of tea but I'm ecstatic! Gonna call the truck "fatty" after the setup :) little dude there from down the street always comes over and says "how come you always have a different car in the garage?" Had a good laugh ahah 1 Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Got bed off, dam those bolts were tough! Never taken a tire off of a truck before , how do I ? I cranked that thing on the top and a chain dropped the tire down and tis dangling 2 Quote Link to comment
5t341tH Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I think you need to kick it down. Looks like theres plenty of dirt holding it on Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I think you need to kick it down. Looks like theres plenty of dirt holding it onThat picture was taken before I cranked the tab on the top of the tire which exposed a chain that dropped the tire. No how do you get it off the chain?

]2eDeYe Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Crank it all the way down then lift the tire from one side and the center holder will pass through the wheel center sideways. Might take a bit of finagling, never seen one with that much crap packed on top :lol: Love the progress :thumbup: Quote Link to comment

Hrvat9 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Boom! It's off , any know if it's original tire and rim? Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 By god I don't think that's ever been off the truck. I'm gonna go with yes to both since the numbers on it look like 6.00-4 which I'm guessing is biasply measurements Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yep, that's likely the original tire and it's probably never been off the holder. Quote Link to comment
heretic Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Welcome great progress & good truck to start with..... I can't help but notice your truck has a bed mounted fuel tank, like one of my 78's .... I've been told "thats not possible, they were all frame mounted in 1978" :) Quote Link to comment

Hrvat9 Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Did u have the tab type bolts hiding the bed down? Yeah I did , 2 came off easily, 2 I clamped the tab with a vice grip and got the nut off and the other 4 I had to cut wih a dremel and a cut off wheel cause I domt have a die grinder -_- 1 Quote Link to comment

So I used a c-clamp on it and I was able to get mine off. The only real issue besides that was the PO welded a tow bar on it and got slag in the holes for the socket. Then he welded to licence plate frame to it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Wooo ! The rocker panels are in. Tabco was great to order from and had really great customer service over the phone. 5/5 in my books and fast shipping. If anyone plans on ordering some , do it over the phone. They told me their site is under construction 1 Quote Link to comment
