I've been watching this thread but not posting a lot. I am continually amazed at the massive project you took on and how you keep making progress on this big welding project. Great job!

I looked at the Facebook event and I don't see very many photos of this Datsun show. Most photos were by other photographers of the museum. here is what I found

I decided to attend on Saturday only. I'll be heading down there in my Scion xB

Saw this Roadster in Des Moines, WA but it looks like it has California plates

Pioneer is usually a good brand. I've been impressed with Kenwood and JVC as well. As for speakers, get JBL GTO series speakers. They are amazing for the price. They come in 4 inch, 6 inch, and 6x9 https://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-GTO429-4-210W-GTO-SERIES-2WAY-COAXIAL-CAR-AUDIO-STEREO-SPEAKERS/391413530864?epid=217429248&hash=item5b221080f0:g:qiEAAOSw8oFXzaRM:sc:FedExHomeDelivery!98032!US!-1

If you're limited on skills and fab work, then converting a truck to AWD to use as a work truck probably will never happen. TO me it seems like going with what came from the factory seems to be the easiest to set up and maintain. Use a stock 720 4x4 frame and drivetrain. Doing a custom install of a 620 body onto the frame and simply shortening the frame a little would probably not be all that difficult. Once it is complete, then you can maintain it just like a normal 720 4x4 aside from a different length rear driveshaft. There are ways to lower the stock 4x4 trucks a little without going as far as c-notch and bags. Post some pictures of what you've got right now when you are able.

Chevy truck steel wheels are wider but not really wide. 16x6.5" You can get steel wheels from Summit Racing in various widths. Or simple steel wheels can be purchased https://www.4wd.com/p/trail-master-tm5-15x8-wheel-with-6-on-5-5-bolt-pattern-gloss-black-tm5-5883/_/R-DHGR-TM5-5883?gclid=CjwKCAjw8qjnBRA-EiwAaNvhwJwll3UE1KfA38ocvx_j-0h-0xQXl7dhMwX3W4Lf71vYM_qpvEQwfBoCWtMQAvD_BwE&ppcfon=1&gp=1&ef_id=CjwKCAjw8qjnBRA-EiwAaNvhwJwll3UE1KfA38ocvx_j-0h-0xQXl7dhMwX3W4Lf71vYM_qpvEQwfBoCWtMQAvD_BwE:G:s&s_kwcid=AL!7836!3!329483539671!!!g!678642011727!&s_kwcid=AL!{7836}!{3}!329483539671!!!g!678642011727!&ecmp=s:google&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping&emlprox=out&ppcfon=1&gp=1

Its brutal in California. I've also taken a day off to go out to a yard the day after I get notice that a 280Z is there. Still, sometimes 1 or 2 people already got there before I did.

I know you all forgot about this event, but I just now FINALLY got my video put together. Give it a watch, share with a friend.

I accidentally drove by that house when I bought the CRX seat from you. These guys have a YouTube channel. ALSO, I think I saw Datsunaholic driving a Datsun today on I-5
