Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 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 .. the 74 PL 620 the 65 L 320 & 11 year old daughter.. 69 L 521 [for sale ] Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 FYI the 69 had some damage on the core support/wheel well so it had to be cut anyways to repair the damege. I have since bent the core back & its looks fine, thats an old pic. The rest of the truck is straight. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I want to see more pics of the 320. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Ok Ice here ya go. The 320 mostly sits until i can fix the oil leak & the front brakes but she fires right up on the 2nd try after i pull the choke out 3/4 of the way...:D the 1st day...8 years untouched engine bay... the interior..the rats had taken over!... I used engine cleaner,steel wool & chrome polish to get a shine back. Took all day!...then cleaned & painted the bay semi gloss... Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 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:) Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Ok yeah it's not old school but heres my 94 HB. The truck was passed down to me from my dad & took 4 years to finish... 2 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 That 320 is so sick. What are your future plans for it? Or is it like my 59, on the back burner for now :( ... I like the hard body to, I think I have the same engine :) Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 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.

The jack bag was in my 521.... you can see the Nissan logo..im gonna carefully paint it white & use these as part of my display at the Long beach show... I love junkyard finds...:cool: 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Nice...makes me wanna clean up my jack hardware. Do you have a jack? I only ask cause I don't.... Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I do have the factory bottle jack that came in my Hardbody but i really want a 320/521 or a 620 one. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I still have a 620 bottle jack :D Quote Link to comment
smokeybear Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 im pretty sure ive got the OG bottle jack and rest and a datsun kangaroo bag if any is interested...... Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Any of those bottle jacks for sale gentlemen?? I even have the 320 hank crank that needs to be painted. Are th3 620 & 320 jacks similar? Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I've got the whole jack setup from my 620 Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I have 2 of the bottle jacks, one is actually complete with bag and all. A bit rusty in the bag from sitting, But after seeing yours I am going to paint mine up...See this is why I like this web site it keeps me motivated to work on my trcuk,,,:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 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. :) Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 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... Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Ok today i did my windshield tint strip to keep the Cali. sun outta my eyes...:D It's perfect @ eye level. 1 Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Another sun joke! haha So what is the procedure for making the paint look that good? I have really bad luck when it comes to paint. Quote Link to comment
