Well if it's a '70 truck, it's a 521.

 

If it's a 620 then it's a '73 through '79. So getting the year and model right will sure help.

 

It the parts as still available the Nissan dealer or auto supply stores like NAPA or Rock Auto.

I've tried the Nissan dealers they dont told me they don't carry any days in parts anymore and sorry I'll have to look again I've never owned a datsun so I don't really know I'm about positive it is a 1970 model tho and I've also called orilleys advanced auto parts and auto zone no one carries datsun parts anymore.

The '70 Datsun truck was known as a PL521 so quote this when ordering parts. You have the L16  L series 1.6 liter engine and a 4 speed manual transmission. You haven't said what you are looking for.

It's impossible to find one or 2 places where they sell all Datsun parts.  Our rides are like over 45 year old and body parts will be difficult to be found. Start scouring Craigslist, Ebay, other Datsun sites and look under classifieds.  You said engine..how do you know you need one?  maybe get it rebuild.  Body parts again that's a Craigslist or Ebay or get post under want adds on this site or other Datsun sites.  Your location?  Easier to find stuff in Calif.

been parked for 19 years..is it registered or non op?  You may want to check GA DMV rules.  Here in Cali. if parked for awhile and not registered then buyer or seller owes tons of back fees.  If non op maybe okay.  Also how's the condition of the body, any major rust?  I would worry more about the 2 above first before getting parts, that's later once things are okay with your local DMV and body is okay.

Na in Georgia they passed an ad velorium tax so when you register a vehicle you only have to pay 10 percent of the cars total value and usually unless listed totaled or other wise it stays registered. I'll have some pictures of it this weekend I have it placed at my parents house for the time being

So they're giving you money to register your Datsun?

I'm in Georgia and I'm fairly sure it will need a new engine as it had a burnt valve when parked 19 years ago I haven't had time yet to go look to see if the motor was seized or not.

 

A little premature for parts hunting. It's been my experience that most people don't know what they are talking about so until it can be proven by you that the valve is 'burnt' it could be anything or nothing. A badly adjusted valve will act the same as burnt... you can't know for sure. If the valve is bad it's $8 for a new valve and $25 for a head gasket. At the most $50-$100 for an old head (maybe even a case of beer if you find one) Then try running to see if the engine is ok. If not you have a spare head.

 

 

Body?.... find a parts truck in good body shape and tow home. Swap body parts.

 

High wear items like steering / king pins, brakes, alternator, water pump, clutch hydraulics, exhaust buy new replacement parts from NAPA or w/e.
