  1. I bought this matchbox distributor for my 70 521 pickup. I sold the truck last month so I have no use for it anymore. It is really clean and includes the wire harness and pedastal and clamp. It also includes a extra matchbox module. 65.00 shipped to you. I will accept paypal. I am located in Pasadena,TX Email me at ratrodvw@yahoo.com
  2. I have a 70 521 that I got in a trade about a year ago. aAt one time the previous owner was on this board. This truck starts and runs but it smoke just a little when you step on it. The charging system works as well as the on board air compressor. I started doing rear disc conversion and never finished it. The Good: Very minimal rust on the whole truck. Floors and rockers are really good. Converted to cs130 alternator wired up properly with a "good" tensioner. engine driven sanden 508 compressor for the air ride. Bag set up with triangulated 4 link in the rear Brand new rear axle bearings and seals. Brand new Beebani rear disc brackets with brand new rotors, pads and rebuilt calipers. The bad: Rear brake conversion needs the metal lines ran and hooked up to the hoses. Master cylinder needs to be upgraded and front brakes need to be converted. Motor smokes a little when you step down on it. This truck could be a driver if the brakes were fixed. I started doing it but I have a 51 Chevy that I am also working on. Need to get rid of this truck. I am asking 1800.00 O.B.O. com/25ow2ts.jpg[/img]
  3. I am looking for the rear bearing pre load shims for a 521 pickup. I replaced my rear wheel bearings and I don't have enough shims to adjust the bearings corrrectly. Used would be fine. Thanks
  4. Does anyone know where I can get some extra bearing pre-load shims for my rear wheel bearings on a 1970 521? I will even buy used one if any one had any.
  5. I ordered the seals from a bearing company. They came in and fit perfect.
  6. That is the number on the old seal. Where do you buy it at?
  7. Does anyone know the correct part number or where to get the outer rear wheel seals for a 70 521 pickup? I took my axles to the local machine shop to get new bearings and seals installed. I purchased outer seals from the local auto parts. They sold me timken p/n 1974. These seale are to big on the I.D. They fit way too loose. I did a search and found a couple people with the same problem but I could not find a answer. Please let me know if yall have any info on this. Thanks
  8. I am looking for 4 origional wheels and hub caps for my 1970 521. Located in Pasadena ,TX I am willing to pay shipping.
  9. I am looking for a hood and a origional bench seat for a 1970 521. The seat covering is not important as long as the metal frame is good.
