thanks man, you recommend any certain electric route as in brand? or any other advice on that realm, being that the lowering will be so cheap I will have the money to go electric sooner than I thought. :rofl: I am not looking to hot rod at all, I find the stock set up of this truck just fine, I have a ford with a small block in it to worry about power, not this little dude. I just want it lowered and running like a top every day. Thanks for all the advice.

I will just lower with blocks, airbag is too much. I am planning on going with the electric ignition as soon as this one goes out. I have replaced the points once and she has been running perfect ever since. Why fix her is if she aint broke yet :angel: . I have had to replace the slave cylinder right when I bought the truck, but I was able to find the parts at car quest. The rust under the diamond was a disappointment but ill tend to it in due time. So glad to see that lowering this truck is an easy job that will increase the look ten fold. I wanted to keep the white walls and will go back to them eventually, however when I purchased these I was trying to save money and a friend had the black walls barely used so I took them for free.

No I don't think there special, dat521gatherer asked for a photo so I put it up. I bet they are easy to come by.

can anyone give me some advice for lowering her a little, I would love to put airbags in but dont have the money right now. I dont want to go too low but she is too high right now and would look great dropped a bit. Thoughts feedback or let me know problems or successes yall have had. Michael

alright, here is some more quikie shots including the engine bay and the up close of the floor mat. I don't collect 80s at all, Im a 50s and 60s collector mainly 45s, anyways back to this green lady here. Here is a photo of the floor mats, I also included some photos of what she looks like today with the stock tailights and the rack off and all of the diamond plating off. The tail gate has some rust through but I think it adds a little character at least for now.

Naw it was red originally, but I think there was a factory color close to this "sea foam" green. The color is cool, but the paint job it self is really poor. The interior as you can tell is still red along with all of the door jams. Man you guys are great on here, I am also a record collector along with car tinkerier. No one ever replies this fast on record message boards. :thumbup:

I just recently started reading this great site and decided to join up. I bought my lil dotty around three years ago, off a rancher out side of fort worth TX. The truck has literally given me almost no issues, I plan on lowering her a little, but keeping the engine very stock. Why improve something that seems perfect. The only issue I have had with this truck is that recently coming out of first the truck shakes ALOT right about when the clutch disengages. No biggie though I'll figure it out hopefully. here is a few photos of when I bought the Datsun and I'll upload some current ones soon. I have really done nothing except take off the rack the original owner had over the cab and all of the diamond plating he had everywhere. Ohh and I just finished putting the stock tailights in which the original owner was running what i think were caprice lights.
