Gramps71

Glad to hear BBQ,s are on going. I,ll have to find a Saturday when i can come and hang out. Can,t blame Rohnert Park for this one. My son ran into the side of my truck with my wife,s brand new Xterra.

Truck is done. Ready to roll. Like to know when the BBQ's start again.

Finally found a good door down in Hollister. Ended up buying a whole truck from a guy in Hayward just to get the fender. Should be back on the road soon.

Still looking for a right front fender if anyone hears of one. Thanks

So a little backround on gramps 71 and what I've done over the years. It's lowered 2 inches, it has a 5 speed out of a 77 200sx, a header, a weber carb, and MSD ignition. My brother in law the engine builder built the engine about 12 years ago. 9.5-1 compression, head studs instead of bolts and a one off cam he designed and had ground by Crane. Also a 70 series flowmaster that sounds nice. Hoping to get the body fixed soon so I can get it to a few shows and maybe a BBQ or 2.

Seeing as I'm very computer challenged East Bay 521 posted this picture. Thanks again. I haven't even figured out how to put in a profile picture, just keeps telling me its too large. Did the photo bucket thing and all that but still having problems. We used an abacus when i was young back in the day.

Thanks East Bay 521. Very interested in a door.

Well sad news gramps 71 got hit on passengers side. So I'm looking for a good door and maybe fender. If anybody knows of one I'd sure like to know about it. Thanks.

I have a 71 Datsun PL521 pickup. My parents bought a new light green 510 wagon from Foothill Datsun in 1970 and recommended my grandparents buy a new Datsun. So my grandparents bought a new dark green Datsun pickup and my folks got a hundred bucks for referring them. My grandfather wanted mag wheel so the dealer installed 6 lug US mags before he took delivery of the truck.I was 11 at the time and went fishing several times with my grandfather in the pickup over the years before he passed away in late 1983. My younger sister needed a vehicle and bought the truck for $500.00 from my grandmother. About a year later she was pregnant and couldn't handle the stiff ride and sold the truck to me for $500.00. This truck has been my daily driver since then. 30 years. Just painted the truck again and it's very nice. Not sure if i can put pictures with this story i'm a newbie.
