Does anyone have a photo of Item 21 (64805-B0100) installed on their truck? http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/pickup-1965-1972/body/front-view#2 (I cannot figure out where it goes or the purpose it serves,) Thanks, Keith

Is there a hoop or stay design that has no permanent point attachment to the bed?

I have been considering fabricating a tonneau cover for my 520. My requirements are: Vinyl foldable material, no hard, wood or fiberglass. No permanent modification to the truck bed, therefore; no snaps or fasteners holes drilled. No attached header rail (placed at the bed nearest the cab). No support rails. My thought is to use a bungee loop (http://www.sailrite.com/Shock-Cord-Cover-Clip-Black). This would allow the tonneau to be attached to the factory truck bed loops. I do not know if the header panel of the bed would provide sufficient tension of the fabric when the tonneau is connected to the three sides of the bed. My inspiration for this project is: https://www.utecoversdirect.com.au/shop-tonneau-cover/soft-covers/custom-bunji-cord-tonneau-cover-suits-alloysteel-ute-trays/ Please post your thoughts or experiences on installing a noninvasive tonneau. Thanks, Keith

If you curb a powder coated wheel you have to sent it out to be refinished. Consider: http://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-wheel-paint/ or http://www.finishmaster.com/prod/assets/400_618_PlastiKote_Wheel_Paint.pdf Keith

Steve, Very nice "get"! Keith

If you decide to an engine swap please keep me in mind for your old J13 engine parts. Keith

If you bore it out to 1500 then consider http://motorpower.net/pricing/j15.htmlfor parts. Try to keep it close to original. Keith

Charlie, Thank you very much...now I can proceed! Keith

Charlie. Does this look like the shape of the seal: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/53116286@N07/30662714136/ Keith

I'm focusing on 7&8 for guidance. Thanks, Keith

Charlie, Do you recall how the rubber parts were attached to the body (fender)? Thanks, Keith

Thanks for looking.

The Nikki is a good carb for the anemic J13 engine. If you buy a used carb from someone you do not know for certain it is in good condition. Send your Nikki to royze.com for a rebuild. Keith

Thanks.

Charlie, Could you post a photo of the piece you have, that way I can get started on installing the fender. Thanks, Keith

Here are some recent photos of the rebuild. Red color code 529 is beginning to take over the body: https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/albums/72157630889826662 Keith

Sounds great, thanks.

I am trying to determine the profile and dimension of several fender mount rubber parts (7, 8, and 9 at http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/pickup-1965-1972/body/front-view#2) 63146-10601 63147-10601 63148-10600 Please share a photo part(s) if you have one available. Thanks, Keith

Just installed driver side splash guard. Located new brass fasteners and stainless steel washers. https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/29715791314/in/album-72157627613948205/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/30229622552/in/album-72157627613948205/ Hopefully, the passenger side will take less than the 4 hours it took to position the driver side.

The rope seal was part of the gasket kit I provided to the engine rebuilder. His comment was "the rope seal will eventually leak". https://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/albums/72157624963500879 Keith

There are two different transmissions, using different drive shafts. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/pickup-1965-1972/power-train/propeller-shaft Please PM me if you have the J13 (To Sep.-'65) style, I need a part. Thanks, Keith
