Thanks for all the info. I will be following up on all this. This truck has the 1300 engine. I believe it's still a L motor. I do need to put a carb on it and the brake conversion. I live on a mountain, I had brakes overheat on my 71 back in the day going down a steep grade.... harryyy!
Thanks, who are some of the best suppliers out there for parts and possibly performance? I really want to put a disc brake conversion on front and rear if possible. I am considering a complete frame up rebuild but have no idea what the cost would be yet. Thanks for the advise.
I'd like to start using my 69 521 as a daily work truck. What are the main things I should pay attention to so I can avoid break downs. I know the motors are strong but I can't afford to have frequent problems with the truck. can the 521 be a reliable daily driver? Thanks for any and all input guys.
Thanks for the inspiration. I am just starting a complete tear down and rebuild of my 1969 521. It's gonna take about a year to get this done. Enjoy the drive. I had a 1971 as my first truck in high school, oh about 1986. Fun truck and bullet proof engine.
