thanks for your help. if you so happen to come across one, and if its not too much trouble, shoot me a message. i would love to come to a future meet once i get my 521 rolling.

good amount of 520s and 521s around you, unfortunately im located in socal. i havent look at the junkyards around me yet. i was hoping someone had one off laying around, im starting to think thats wishful thinking. thanks for the help though.

seems to be off a little bit. but I could probably get away with not replacing it but i figure i should replace it since im replacing everything else connected to the center tie link. I was thinking long term, so i dont have any steering issues later.

Sorry, yea I'm in california. Im going to give myself another week to find a steering column locally, if not then il take your offer on your steering column and paying whatever to ship it. thanks for your help

Im new to datsuns but Ive always been a fan of classic and european cars. My pass cars were older hatchback civics, mitsu evo9, bmw 2002, bmw e21, bmw e30 and old yamaha and honda bikes. Ive Never been a big fan of trucks but have grown to the practicality of having a truck, so why not get a classic japanese truck. Ive been searching for a pre 1975 datsun truck for a while and after months of searching Ive stumbled upon a 72 521 for $1600. had to drive 400 miles for it though. When I bought it, it had a bad oil pan leak which I thought at first was a quick fix. initially i thought... weld the pan or replace it and slap it back on and its good to go. it turns out the motor mounts were bad. With the engine sagging and the center tie link so close to oil pan, the center tie link, tie rods, idler arm and pitman arm were damaged one way or another . so far I've found replacement parts for everything except for a pitman arm. need help sourcing one out so i can get it on the road. sadly Ive never driven it yet, hence the reason why creating an account here so i can start looking at the classifieds. so why not introduce myself and show my new purchase. I plan to keep it as jdm and as original looking as I can. so thanks for looking and if anyone has any leads on a pitman arm, I would greatly appreciate it. if not its cool, il just keep searching the classifieds, craiglist and ebay. Thanks again and Im excited to be part of the ratsun community.
