EDIT Sorry ; This is the truck that i have decided to use for the " Canby Giveaway Truck" . . please see the build thread in datto project .

 

 

Hi kids , since i hate having rigs that do not run, here is another one that has come from the dead zone. It was used as a rabbit pen . 

   I have stripped it down to far enough to see that it was a white truck , all the pieces look original to me. i am pulling the 1600 and 4 spd and swapping in a l20,5 spd,

   i do plan to lower it 3 inches ,i have a couple different wheel options so i will try a few , i kind like the welds,and i am pulling the rear bumper , i have to switch the hood because they let the hinge get rusty and some jack off tweeked it IMAG2703_zpsdzbsgg7k.jpgIMAG2746_zpsdhkvxy9a.jpgIMAG2747_zpstmtxrwgo.jpgIMAG2748_zpshzfsjrwk.jpgIMAG2749_zpsdqpirgxb.jpgIMAG2750_zpsgueucf9a.jpgIMAG2751_zps5d007d9d.jpgIMAG2752_zps1dfql3yg.jpgIMAG2753_zpstc5pt7xc.jpgIMAG2754_zpshqzzsqje.jpgIMAG2756_zps796pwppk.jpgIMAG2757_zps69tzflxa.jpgIMAG2758_zpslfpjt0rs.jpgIMAG27591_zpsd8e9bb6a.jpgIMAG2760_zpsbo8rxqbv.jpgIMAG2761_zpsbqzd4l9t.jpgIMAG2768_zps08790257.jpgIMAG2769_zpsfz492gas.jpg

Alright, how many datsuns you got laying around? I count two 620, two 521, I wanna say that's a four door 510 at the end of the line and I can't tell what's on the left

 

Edit: correction 3 620, I missed the one in the garage and damn that 521 is in amazing shape for having been a rabbit pen

Much easier to clean moss, dirt, and even rabbit crap off a truck, than to have to replace rust.

It is a daily driver, at least on the days I drive.  Over 5,000 miles so far, and not only out into pastures for fence work, it has taken me to the Blue Lake Datsun meet, Canby, Mount Hood Meadows for a day of snow skiing, Detroit lake two weekends ago, and has hauled home a ton of wood pellets I think five times.

You can read all it's details here.

That's some serious before/after - a pretty solid white truck under there!  Heck, some of that body work is definitely better than mine.  Can't believe the floors.  Keep up the good work.

Good god I want your bumpers lol.

 

Never thought I'd see a dash pad worse than mine ... lol!

 

You should see mine. Sitting not running 15+ years in Arizona, big holes in the foam.

 

WOW, it has a locking gas door, that is kinda rare.

Really? Mine has one, albeit not in the best shape. Didn't realise it was uncommon though.
