I kinda like em , you cant buy these rims anymore. I do however want to run stock rims and tires , but can't seen to find a set of caps and rings , I had a set but gave them away about a week ago . And I only had 2 bowls , I did have all the rings . The parts truck does have lots of good things on it , but the floors are done , but from what I can tell it's all one paint sheet metal . The doors are solid,beds pretty nice , All I can think about is other projects I am working on . I really need to get some help . I am building 5 different projects at the same time . And I already have a 3rd 521 that I started last year,I kinda lost interest in it because it looked like everyone else's . Not much for following ! The view is much better from the front .

banzai510(hainz) Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I kinda like em , you cant buy these rims anymore??? they don't make AMC Pacers either. and I still don't want one I like the stock rims on 521s sometimes putting as modern rim on a 521 just isn't right. Like Konigs on a Willys Jeep. It wont work. 510s is different they are a modern looking car ahead of its time(look at the 1st gen M3 BMW) just a 510 with flairs 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 One thing is true in my opinion not enough stock rigs out there, hell there wasn't even a stock 510 at canby this year . So as much as I change them I still love the stock rig, once in a while . Quote Link to comment
Eomund Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Weirdly, mine is going more and more stock as I go. Making me less likely to custom it up. In the process of restoring the suspension to new, and prolly not gonna lower it at all. This truck has so many or the original parts... Making me jealous lol. 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 did a little work on the parts truck , ie : points , ngk's , weber, fuel , same cap used rotor used coil and wire, and it fired right up. no smoke runs good , needs a valve adjustment , and exhaust gasket but sounds pretty good . now its time to pull it and do the gaskets & paint and get it in the " rabbit pen " . http://s1318.photobucket.com/user/denmarkboy/media/VIDEO0005_zps9dv6mnpa.mp4.html Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 did some more break down on the parts truck , should have it mostly stripped to a rolling shell tomorrow. then i will have to decide what the hell i am gonna do with a rolling 521 shell with crappy floors ... :poop: Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 oops forgot the oics !! Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Well I just got 2 more 620's. And the only reason I bring that up is I don't find as many 521/520 as I did in the past . And for that reason I think I am going to build both of these trucks . The "rabbit pen" will live on as a all stock truck . I have one of every option for the truck , so I am going to tear it down and start from the bottom . That's right I said it ( STOCK ) , those who know me will tell ya I can hardly say that word ( Friday thru Sunday ) anyway . But that's what I am doin . So what does that mean for the white truck ???. Well since I have to name them all to keep track !! I think I am gonna name it ......." Farm truck ".....which translates to a truck that looks like it got left on the farm for dead. And after years of neglect was pulled from the BlackBerry bushes,only to be washed and left the same . Oh ,, except for a stupidly outrageous power plant that stays hidden under the faded hood ! Just waitng to scare the shit out of some unsuspecting sucka... "Farm truck " sounds good to me Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Suggestions for power plant ? I have a ( 7m gte ) w/ auto trans I could use , but I have cut up enough firewall this year , I rather stay in the stock engine bay , rotary ? Help ? Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Throw a rotary in. Would love to see that. And then if/when you sell it I'll probably be wishing I could buy it 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 today i've been playin with my new 620 daily driver . but i am also stackin up parts for this build . since most of this truck is straight it didnt take long to find the only part that was really screwed up. so i got 2 , seeing as i have other trucks that may need them. but so far saving the best stuff for this truck . 1 Quote Link to comment

denmarkboy Posted October 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 headed to bend this weekend to get these for the " farm truck " white truck. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I have a full set of beauty rings that came on my 620 and a hood for the rabbit hutch I will bring with me. If your going "original" (sounds better than stock) you will want the wheels that are on the front. The rears are disk brake wheels from '78-'79. 1 Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 wow dude that thing cleaned up nice. Your parts truck for this one is better than some members daily drivers. Don't do that! 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah this was an early picture.I have had like 4 different styles on it , and yeah stock is the plan . Quote Link to comment

Don't do that! Although I haven't started a build thread yet for the white one aka farm truck , I am going to leave it as is appears wise and lower the shit out of it, fix the canopy a little, put those Chevy rallys on it and make it run and drive perfect and that's it . I was going to use it for parts but I just couldnt do it . Quote Link to comment
Chuck Most Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I'm just glad it'll be fixed up and enjoyed, rather than become an organ donor. I love the plan you've worked out for it- I think it would look great lowered, but with the body left-as is. 1 Quote Link to comment
