Finally found some time to go play out in the ole' junk yard again. Double checked that 620 step side bed and its all fiberglass with a metal center section. steps 'glass. Checked out a 70 something 260z but no real work. Photos still need to be uploaded so wait till tomorrow......

So do I!. But its really rusted out, like flintstone floorboard gone. Pickin' a few parts from it to make my 521 that much cooler. Bulletsides look best with the stock bed and bed hooks removed. Datsuns had the best lines of any early mini truck. IMO

Ask and you shall recive. The top might be a home job as its construction is in question. Once opon a time it was the awsome lil pickup though. The fenders are fiberglass too. I would have bet they were off a chevy 1/2 ton step.

Sounds like your dealing with some of the same issues i'm having. Good luck man! Keep it up :thumbup:

Well the weather went to :poop: So it will just sit like this for a few days. Cell phone camera lense has seen better days lol. I just suprized it still works. Bare with me on the photo quality guys THANKS I did manage to get some 195/60's that were "just taking up garage space" :thumbup: for cheap! Mounted them up and to the yard i went just to see how cool it will look. Its still resting on blocks in these photos fyi. Ride height will come later. Still going throught all the other Datsun parts (getting some parts from a 260 Z :thumbup: too ) i want for this truck. So many parts and so little time. I have a few custom tricks in the works so stay tooned in kids its gonna be a fun ride :w00t: no dout.

Not as much progress as i would hoped for but some none the less :thumbup:

Maybe its just a 5spd Knob lol Thank for the info.

Yes sir! And there are 3 other bulletsides that i picked up too. One bullet' has a stepside bed with a topper. Never seen one like before! I'll try to get photos of it today. Anyhow, On to the Ratty Dat! Today i should get the 'Dat on its wheels (slot mags in 15x8 -x10 w/ 195/50s) and then home with a load of extra parts. Photos coming soon :thumbup:

I live near Butte, Montana. And i ain't tellin' where my stash is hidden ether hahaha! But i will gladly post photos of all my loot hehe

I knew i had a photo of the drivers side some place. The red door and dvr ft fender will be swaped out of straighter pieces from a 520 cab. And picked this up too. Because it was cool!

Afew of the wheels i picked up. Im leaning torwards the 15x10 Mags. but those rallies do look nice........hummm

Progress! Gettin' it out of it's grave. Thats my 'Zuki in the fourground. Another Junk yard score brought back from the dead.

Hello! Names Dan. This is my first go at a Datsun of any model. I can't wait to get to wrenchin' on it. Fell free to comment or suggest your 2cents. Let the photos begin! 1970 Datsun 521 1600 5spd. Found mostly stock minus a few odds & ends. Its going to need some TLC for sure for cruzin again. The 'yard owner is letting me gather all the parts I think I would need to make a "bitchin lil' rat man" as he puts it haha. SWEET! The Dude & the Ratty Dat. First time checkin it out. Yeah you could say the motor has seen better days.......no mice though! Insides pretty trashed too. But not for long.

I'm diggin' the ol school slots. Looking good :thumbup:

Look pretty clean :thumbup:
