Damn thats a nice bench. If you're interested, I would gladly swap benches with you + cash. Mine is original and year correct for your truck(center cutout) but needs reupholstered. My truck is a '73 so that'd be a perfect swap.

Figure out how much material was required based on the part volume. Then determine how that translates into feed wire length and cost. I would think a part like this would be roughly 25-30$US including your profit. Also willing to buy one if we can arrange shipping to 12919 🙂

If you succeed, I will gladly buy one from you (should the price be reasonable haha) Also, I suggest beefing up the collar to prevent failure later on. Unless of course that new material behaves differently

Silicon bronze TIG welding the seams seems to be the way to go. Its a softer material so easy to grind. Depending on the depth of the weld, you could keep the seam visible. In the future, I plan on doing exactly that. In order to avoid rust from forming in between the panels, I will cut as much of the back panel pinch as possible once welded.

type jdm 6x139.7 on ebay. You may find other wheels that better match our pickup trucks

I woul be. Mine has the recess in the middle though.

or weld 4x stands around the notch area to hold it and 2x at the frame end. Then cut away at the notch

as I saw them sawzall the cowl, all I could think why not just drilling out the spot welds...

RIP windshield and back window. They must be pitted like crazy by now. Also RIP Datsun 620. Might as well buy replacement panels and mount them up on a frame...

Theres a spot on the left side of the tailgate that is square. Could it be that said sticker that wore out?

Just a thought here. Is it possible that the different thermodynamics from the dissimilar metals eventually cause the paint bond to weaken? Like paint would stretch more on one metal than the other and prematurely fail...Though that doesn't explain why lead works better. I would need to know what the brazing material is to compare the expansion coefficients

thats exactly the end result Im hoping for with mine and I wouldnt even go as high as $10K USD...

nice rocket box. got the same😎🤫
