    The issue at hand: Took like 5 minutes to yank out Hitachi... Wonder how long shes been in there I got in the zone and snagged this bad boy... Only one thing I hate more than Duralast and that's value craft. But the week long wait for the dealer replacement wasn't an option Looks much better I also got my warning lights and blinkers back.. Still really have no idea what would cause that

    Yeah I figured. I guess that was a dumb question . The no warning lights or blinkers still has me scratching my head

    Thanks. About an hour ago I was driving, stopped at a gas station and when I got back in none of my warning lights came on and the blinkers stopped working. When I arrived at my destination I realized my lights were very dim.... The alternator is charging at a whopping 7.8 volts. You guys have any idea why it would just crap out on me like that? And whats the cheapest way to get it going again? I heard rebuilding them was an option?

    Took the truck to NW Toy Run 2014 I heard there was close to 4000 cars, and I only found like 4 other datsuns... which is pretty weak I'd say

    Its really funny how you just described all the issues I'm having with my rear suspension. I'm on the hunt for 4x4 springs as we speak Charlie this is the only picture I have of that truck. and its what originally made me take notice of the truck. It has the clock and tach cluster, which I thought was pretty bad ass

    Also a pick n pull run today, found this jem. Dirty as hell, but only 113 miles and every option you could think of. I grabbed some climate control parts and a dimmer switch i needed. Also going back for the NapZ aluminium valve cover tomorrow I also grabbed these.. and I'm pretty happy with them, besides the fact I did a little damage Magic eraser and some warm water

    Wayno, thanks for the info. I was having issues with too much spring and axle hop. That's defiantly at the top of my list. & thanks justin. I like the 17s... but I've been debating some 15x10s my buddy has for sale haha

    It is mine as well, All that crap i cut off were these increased load leaf packs.. just these kits you can buy from autozone. Im not sure how low it is, i just pulled 2 leafs out of the pack, left the load leaf, and a 3in block. also made mounts for rancho 9000 shocks, designed for a 4x4 and they give it a really stiff ride and never bottoms out

    Thanks, I was reading your build earlier and felt like i should put mine all in one place. And as I was going through pictures, i found that id have to agree with you. the bumper just looks funny from the side if you look at it

    Complete crap heat

    Oh yum. I peeked into mine and the thermostat looks newish, but is there any way to see if its stuck open? although i'll probably replace because its so cheap

    Alright... little back story. My Names Edward, I live in Tacoma WA. My first daily driver was an 88 Mazda B2200. Smoked like a mother (Couldda guessed huh?) so i got rid of it, and bought a nice little commuter that was a 94 Acura integra.. Got real tired of that and sold it 3 days later. I was on the hunt for a new project and knew I wanted a retro style pickup... and well it was love at first sight.... When I brought her home in May 2014 All of my friends, being either into Hondas, VWs, or whatever their parents bought them, asked me what the hell I was thinking buying some junk truck from a field. I just smiled. One day they would see. :devil: Got her into the garage and got right to work. First thing I did was moar low.. naturally... Cut all this crap off, and thats just one side On the ground I drug thoes poor mudflaps right off I played with the idea of no bumper but ended up on settling on removing the ends.. for some reason i think it looks a little meaner She ran like ass so i slapped a new weber kit on it, and was really happy to find out its only a single adapter plate, unlike the more common doubble adapter Yes... i know its dirty in there. Being a broke high school student, I did what i could with what i could So I slapped a coat of paint on the steelies Also painted grille, and threw some amber tint on the headlights, altogether i think i improved the look Next thing i knew, flyin down the freeway..... we lost power in a cloud of steam.. headgasket was shot and back to the whole broke kid thing, I had no choice but to let it sit while i came up with the funds, this was in May of 2014 Fast forward to October..... I had gotten a job in july, but spent all my money on an A to B vehicle.... but the time for my little pickup had come... I got a new headgasket in er, then moved on to interior. the Bench seat kinda.... collapsed? i guess? so i temporarily (although its been 2 months) installed some leather seats out of a 2009 Accord, and i bed lined the floor... sorry i don't have any during pictures Also put in a head unit, 2 6x9s, and 2 4in speakers. Along with an 8in kicker and 230 watt amp... she does alright Lastly I got some 07 titan wheels 17x8 and i gotta say... well I am satisfied. Lastly, i threw a roof rack on it, (which I caught some asshole trying to steal last night smdh) and peeled off the nasty tint. This is how she sits now, wile I was in Bellingham visiting some friends, waiting on a slave cylinder to some at the parts store Another random picture I hope you enjoyed. Yes. shes dirty, rusty, loud and drags ass, but i wouldn't have it any other way. Hopefully I'll be getting more progress soon, as I condensed the last 8 months into one post B) Also if you ever see me scootin around Tacoma, please don't be a stranger If anyone has any questions or comments, please do share!
