Looks good! The s10s are pretty close in frame size too. I am running a reciever frame hitch from probably a late 80s S10 and two holes even lined up.

You are probably right. I checked to see if the place is used still existed and it does, but I haven't been there in probably over 10 years. I am able to get what I need by numbers or measuring with calipers and ordering online. That's what kills these places. Alternator and starter shops are getting few and far between too.

That should press out. If you have trouble finding a replacement most cities have a place that specializes in bearings and seals.

No difference. They are both low IQ.

If you physically look at the seal it should have a number on it. This isn't a nissan number but a seal number. Nissan and any other car companies don't make the seal. You can order bearings and seals using the number on them.

I doubt anyone leaves over a couple of assholes bitching about politics on a thread for bitching about destruction of America. There are less datsuns on the road every year and the younger generation does have much desire on wrenching on old cars. Societies changing that's just the way it is. I couldn't get my nephew to pick up a wrench and he is in the majority. Sad because the way to maximize your life with a mediocre income is to fix and build things yourself. Rolling other Mens trash for another 200k miles gives me great satisfaction. The forums are a wealth of knowledge for that but they are losing to Facebook and Instagram that's just the way it is. Most of the other curmugeonly old pricks on here aren't easily offended so I don't think Mike is running people off the site.

Again you are getting way more upset about what happens here than you should. Probably raising your Blood Pressure which isn't good. Banning people or kicking them off because you don't like what they say is a direct attack on freedom of speech. Everyone here is totally free to make an ass of themselves, prove they are a Moron or say things that make them look like a full tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist (Wayno?). If you have thin skin or this thread upsets you block it and move on. Simple.

Remember this is just an obscure thread on a relatively small website. Nothing to get upset about. Ignore destruction of America if you get bothered by it, easy to do. Just a spot where a couple of assholes who have a common like of datsuns can bitch and moan about US politics. It keeps the politics in one spot so it doesn't creep into other threads. Don't need to tell someone they must have TDS because they prefer a KAE over a KADE.

D21 painted it when I painted the truck. The angle doesn't match the back of the cab but probably as close as I can get.

As Kamela (Cackles)was a gift to the Republican party it looks like Trump is the gift to the Democrats that's keeps on giving. This seems like a race to the bottom.

Wayno we are probably similar buying used and fixing shit ourselves and other people would be in better financial shape if they did the same. but our lifestyles are horrible for the economy. Somebody has to buy new cars, boats and other toys for them to trickle down to what we want to pay. They also hire plumbers, electricians, AC technicians whatever to do what they can't or don't want to do. That's what keeps people employed and money flowing, that's what our economy is built on. Bottom line other than our taxes we are probably more scavengers of the economy and I am fine with that because the ups and downs have a lot smaller effect on me.

Yes. I actually bought it brand new from leer probably around 1996. It fits great except the 720 has a slight slope at the back of the cab that makes the gap at the top a little wide.

Been a while. Enjoying the truck and she has been rolling trouble free. It's the time of year we close up our house in Maine and head to Fl. The Datsun hibernates in the shop over the winter but before she goes away I slip in a few mini road trips before parking it for the winter. Today was a one hour loop from the house through backwoods Maine. Just passing a collection of small farms and homes in the woods. The leaves have changed and it is just a pleasant drive. At the halfway point and my destination is a general store that hasn't changed in 50 years. You can pump your gas first before paying and I think the pumps are older than the Datsun. The breakfast sandwiches are fresh with real ingredients unlike that crap at the circle k and the folks are friendly. Going to miss this. Florida weather is good but chock full of assholes. Unfortunately I am a pussy and can't take the Maine cold. Looking forward to spring when I get the 720 back on the road. One more road trip tomorrow then the datsun hibernation begins.

I have the vacuum pump but mixed results. Bought some of these aquarium check valves to put in line with the one man bleeder kits and they do keep the air from getting sucked back in. They were real cheap at the time so I usually chucked em after a use. Got like a 10 pack. Still a few floating around. https://ebay.us/m/u8TlrG
