I believe the interchange is the BMC, B-Series motor. I used several engine internal components in my rebuild. Keith

On the 1966 Datsun 520 the parcel material is mounted above the shelf frame. Keith

Great photo.

There should be four (4) 3/8" holes on the floor of the cab, approx 7.75" from the rear bulkhead. These are the anchor points for the lap belts. Keith

Very nice.

The Safari Gold 240Z is mine. Wesglock had his 510 at the same P&B shop that work on my cars. Keith

Keep the updates coming. Keith

Anyone have an update to the JCW carpet experience? Keith

I rebuilt a J13 using some MG B Series parts. PM sent Keith

What is the color code?

Welcome. Great basis for your plans. Keith

Great. The bolt.screw head is recessed. is the head a FILLISTER style? Now, how about the nut, the flat face of the bolt not fully contacting the curved surface of the knob. (If the fastener is tightened too much, the knob will crack at the contact point of the nut.) Keith

What fastener is used for the Heater Lever/Knob? I have tried mant bolt and nut combinations, but none seem to seat against the contour of the knob. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun520/Datsun520521Index/Electrical1300J13/Heater/tabid/1439/Default.aspx http://community.ratsun.net/topic/53515-521-heater-leverknob-30-shipped/?hl=%2Bheater+%2Bknob Thanks, Keith

Carburetor installed, now to install the cable, fuel and vacuum lines. http://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/10801420375/ Keith

It is about time for your update. Looks great!

mhub91, This Patrol should be saved. Keith

Does anyone have a photo and dimensions of the J Series engine hand crank handle? Thanks, Keith

Very nice. Keith

Keep me in mind if you need some Patrol parts. Perhaps we can trade some of my extra parts for your extra parts? Keith

What is the plan for the Patrol? Keith

Very cool. Please save the old parts you remove from the truck. There are always people like me looking to parts to help members finish their projects. Here are photos of my project: http://www.flickr.com/photos/53116286@N07/6176206389/in/set-72157627613948205 Keith

A stock hardtop version KL60 weighs 3663 lbs. As you can see from my postings, I am a purest and do not like to modify a classic vehicle. I do know that some people install a SBC powertrain. You will have to do a bit of research to ensure a 4WD transaxle can be accommodated. Just a side note, a vintage Datsun/Nissan is more valuable if it retains a linage to the Nissan family of powertrains. The Nissan SD33T, used in the IH Scout, may be a good compromise. Keith

Looks good. What is the name of the powder coating company Keith
