  1. I cant find anything even close. Everything is for full size trucks now. Maybe I have to get out of the reno area possibly LA or bay area.......
  2. Thats a bit more than I have right now and I have an in for getting the 620 seat re-done. I'll takehe 620seat do you have pay pal? Email me as to how you want the money or call 775-230-6499 drfixit2@gmail.com Mark
  3. about 15 years ago I had a datsun with a service body on it. Anybody have one? Service body only already got the truck lol
  4. Looks good,think it will work what are you asking for it? Doc
  5. Its gonna go in the 521 doesnt have to bolt right up as all existing mounts were torn ot by P/O Lets see a photo of the better one and a price please. Would save me having the other one fixed up. Thanks Doc
  6. Id like the seat, wonder what would you charge to ship it to 89509 reno nevada
  7. Ok thanks for allthe geat info.I think I amgona start with pulling the head and see what we have. Mark
  8. I sent you an email I will pick it all up this Saturday Mark Reno Nevada 775-721-4672
  9. I am in reno so Imight be able to pick up what I am interested in which would be L18 engine,and head stuff, no manifolds in or out. What exactly doyou have and can I get some better photos? Mark drfixit2@gmail.com
  10. ok assuming the head is flat I am perfectly capable of taking the valve train apart but doing a valve job yourself? Doesnt that require aspecial fixture or something to kepp the anngle one the vlaves right? Now I have hand lapped valves AFTER the machine shop did the valve job. As for a used head, again assuming the head is not warped I would like to simply improve on what I have. If I rebuild this head I know what I have. Keep the info coming please Doc
  11. My L18 I believe has a bad valve. What should I expect to pay to have the head re-done and what do I need to be sure is included. Can I get new rockers and springs? I know they should be sure the head is flat do a valve job, knurl the valve stem seal opening(Does that sound right?) Performance isnt an issue just reliability. I think A87 is on the head should I look for a completely different head or is it an ok one? Thanks Doc
  12. Awesome thanks a bunch. Now I guess there are probably different doglegs and/or 5 speeds out there. What should I look for to match up with my L18 in my 69 521? With the 4 speed the freeways almost out of the question LOL
  13. Ok so I decided when I find a dogleg I am not going to be able to rebuild it myself. If I took it to the local tranny shop to have it rebuilt would they be able to get all the parts required? Whats an average price I should expect to pay? Thanks, Doc

    Wow In thought the measurements on a 521 would be way small for anything they still made. Thanks for the idea
