shadow1752 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Well the datsun bug has officially bit me, Started with buying a 78 620 motorhome, now a 1970 521. My first two trucks were 620s ('76 & '77). Picked this one up to save it from being cut into shreds, I pulled the motor and am going to start cleaning and casually working on this until someone wants to buy the body and chassis off me that has a bit deeper pockets than me, once this is gone i can get another 620 lol! (wife says no more than 2 projects at a time lol) Seeing her with a wrench makes me love her more! 3 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I bought Ratsun as a parts truck. It became the easiest Datsun had to turn into a daily runner. This is Ratsun. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/30606-my-ratsun-datsun-521/ 2 Quote Link to comment

Osoi Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Are you going to rod it or try and take it back to OG? The only reason o ask is if you're going to hit it and Rod it is be interested in your steering wheel. 2 Quote Link to comment

The only reason o ask is if you're going to hit it and Rod it is be interested in your steering wheel. **If** I was to keep the body and chassis I would try to take it back to original, But as I'm trying to spend my time (And $$) on my 620 I just wanted a few choice parts out of this and sell the rest to someone that can afford to give her the life she deserves, parting out may be an option once my ads (one here in the classifieds and one on craigslist) have ran their course. So if it comes to parting out Ill try to keep ya in mind, Not sure the steering wheel is in cherry condition though it might have been chewed on by the bear that got in it at one point (that's what happened to the seats lol) I know its still decent and the horn button works, Ill take a closer look at it next time I have my head in it for ya! :thumbup: **EDIT** heres a zoomed in image of it... 1 Quote Link to comment
