DanielC Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Does anyone have any ideas on a mud flap for the rear tires of a 521? I think the stock ones are just a sheet of rubber material. It would be really nice if there were ones with "DATSUN" printed on the bottom of them. 1 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I called my friendly local nissan dealer. The oldest Nissan truck that mud flaps are available for is the Frontier. 1 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I made a couple pairs from a sheet of rubber using a original flap as a template. Pics are going to take a minute on this. It's been a while but I think I got the roll on ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Sorry I don't know specifics or the seller of this rubber as it's been over a year or more. I do remember thinking that the material was very soft when cut with scissors. It has held up on my truck and not torn or anything. I am happy with them . I had planned on making these for ratsun members along woth the engine bay flaps but got lazy and never did. PICS. Original I made two different lengths. Look my bed isn't crunched. 4 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Bar codes are not period correct. I believe those are just stickers so you could cut the bar codes off. Quote Link to comment
rude_day Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 It’s been a while since i’ve been on here but my (i believe factory) mudflaps look like this, a bit beat up from hitting the shackle from being slammed. 2 Quote Link to comment

Hmmmmmm, those are likely an aftermarket, maybe thru JC Whitney......?? Never seen OE in color.............. The OE 620 had the white italicized DATSUN, painted white (see above pic) The OE 720 had embossed italicized DATSUN, but not painted, left black I think you can make either work on a 521, but you will likely have to fab up a nice metal bracket............to flimsy & you will eventually lose one! PS I ordered those new repop cheap FleaBay mud flaps from a seller in Thailand or ??, never got them, so beware, especially with Covid crap! Edited December 29, 2020 by yenpit Quote Link to comment

If you're searching for Datsun, you probably won't find them. They were called Nissan in Japan. 1 Quote Link to comment
