My Datsun trucks...


Recommended Posts

Most of you guys know me from NWDE. I got hooked on Datsun trucks awhile back. I started out with a 521 & then before i knew it i had a 320 & 620! All 3 are in different states of driveability - customization but i love them all. Enjoy ..

I know that it isnt a old school Dastun, but you need to show you Hardbody:cool: . I love that truck, I am doing a dancing bed next. I miss my old one and I really want another. And besides that is a smooth truck, I really like the lowriders, wires hydros etc...:D So show a picture of that also:)

Ice, the mechanical plans for the 320 are to fix the oil leak & front brakes. Cosmetically id like to re-key the torsions [TY Bleach] & drop it down 2 more inches. I may take this truck to the Long beach show this year so Ill probably do some bodywork & re-primer it.

I have the whole kit too. The black bag, bottle jack that says Nissan on it but looks like its from the 60's, and the long rod and handle. I got it all from the '76 longbed I used to have. (my first 620) Its all in my dad's garage. I'm planning to keep it. I actually prefer the scissor jacks though for using to change a tire. Those also get under a low truck much easier. :)

I agreee with Bleach, the scissor jack makes it easier as long as it actually fits under the frame..:D I dont plan on using these tools but thought it would be kool to have a complete set of factory stuff. I also painted the jack tool for the 320 which also serves as the hand crank & a wheel chock i found in the trunk of a "D" at the yard...notice the Nissan logo...
