  1. Check out the for sale section. Truck is currently for sale!
  2. Thanks everyone! jnfritz, I looked at your sig and just so you know I have owned 3 Honda S2000's, 2 honda CBR's and this is my first Datsun 521. I find that many things in the automotive world carry over into other models, like people who appreciate these little cars and trucks (datsuns) also like modern and classic japanese motorcycles (I have also owned a number of vintage Honda motorcycles). Anyway you have excellent taste! Uberkevin, I went through your entire build thread, nice! Keep up the good work!
  3. Great thread man! You need some new full pics with wheels and tires in it!
  4. Gojira do you attend the Manteca meets? I'm going to be out of town this Saturday but next Manteca meet they have I want to go, I'd also like to organize a Stockton get together some time!
  5. Ok so I might be able to remedy the bounciness by buying new shocks because the ones I have are taller then stock? Anybody know where to buy stock or shorter shocks that will bolt up to a 521? Also thanks for all the advice and welcome wish's! The truck DOES sit in the garage. I am going to get an estimate from a local paint shop (Bugs, formally Miracle as I have seen many Datsuns out front and I believe some of the guys that work there are into them and I have heard good feedback about their work). I like stock colors, especially the Off white and the tan/khaki but I feel this truck should stay orange, plus that will ultimately be cheaper.

  7. This is my first Datsun, I bought it from another member on this board. It's a beautiful 1970 521 Datsun Pickup with a KA24 swap. Truck runs excellent and looks great. I will say the ride is WAY too bouncy. I'm hoping to fix that, I'm hearing that new shocks or coilovers are the way to go to get a better ride. What coilovers are good/affordable that someone might suggest? Other then the bouncy ride, I have no complaints! I found some 6 lug Western Mesh's that are actually Shelby mesh's that fit the truck perfectly! I couldn't be happier with the stance and wheels and rims and I love driving the truck. Super fun to drive! Anyway here are some pics I took today. I'm thinking about having a paint shop paint the roof and hood to match the orange. Any thoughts?
  8. Thanks for the replies! THEY FIT! They came with special lug nuts that actually fit inside the rim. The lug pattern is correct and with these lugs they fit perfect!
  9. Anyone have any idea what wheels these are? Who made them? Will they fit a 521?
  10. On my 521 I currently have stock rims but I just bought some chevy rallys and I just picked up these vintage mesh rims but I have no idea they are. Can anyone name these for me? They are 15 inch's and are 8 1/2 wide. They are chevy/datsun 6 lug by 5 1/2's.
  11. These are 15 inch 8 1/2 width. My friends tell me they are Western Meshes (which seems correct) but I'm just confirming. Will these fit a 70 521? Or a 81 720? I'll take more pics, they have some off set it seems like.
