I love the brake work pictures (above ) I also have & often use my "how to keep your Datsun alive", (John Muir publications) book. I have several of the books in this series, & am slowly collecting the others. If any of you can help with my collection, please let me know, thanks!

This is one hell of a clean truck. Makes me want to get another 521.

It should be your favorite model. 620's are cool but the plastic everything is what kills it for me..

It's my favorite model also, engine bay has room, and no custom sheet metal is needed to make a kingcab out of one, just need extra doors and a top.

Also one can use parts from the 520 to upgrade the dash to metal, along with the amber turn signal indicators.

There are also a bunch of them around still, which may be a plus in the future, some day aftermarket parts might be available, while I don't expect the 320 to ever have aftermarket parts made, not in any kind of quantity anyway.

And the 521 is still the nicest Datsun Nissan what ever that was built.620'w blow chunks.

I won't, But and for the record my second car I owned was a 76 620 king cab. I met my wife with that truck i had the spare tire and speaker box holding up the seats because it was so rusty so i have a love for them, Its just the 521 is so much sexier and i love the fact that it looks almost like a 510.
