hey radio how much does he want? for all 4? id like another 521 and a 620....

will post pics later

well i finally got the frame braced where i welded the 2 trucks together. also put in a new cross member. got the brake line work done. we now only have front brakes, and the rear lines are plugged at the master, and the lines are removed. the fuel lines are also all taken out. along with the e-brake assembly. it was a one piece type thing with the gas pedal so it took a few minutes. also got the stock motor mounts welded up so there solid. still thinking about making custom mounts. today guna finish up the frame bracing, and maybe start new motor and trany mounts

hey radio, on the back side of the drums, theres this opening going in, well if you take a flach light, and look in, you will see a star shape wheel, spin it either way that tightens the shoes. have the wheel off the ground while doing this. do a little bit first, then spin the wheel. if it got a little harder to spin, thats good. if it didnt make any diference, you might not have gone far enough, or you went the wrong direction... but i think you have to spin it up to tighten... good luck! also one more question, you said you kept bleeding them, but you kept getting air in the lines? what procedure did you use to breed them? did you do it in the right rotation? are you loosing and fluid like a leaking line somewhere where air could come in? all the lines were good when i had it, it just needed new shoes, and a readjustment. i also had my thoughts on the new master cylinder.

shouldnt be too hard to get driving man! it looks pretty complete. whats wrong with it? need a new motor?

well the slave cylinder is out on it now, and i dont wana tear too far into it to where it doesnt become a dd

will the motor just not accelerate and you have no power, or more like tranny is slipping and not letting it go faster? hows that tranny fluid look after you drove it now?

good to see some progress on her!

thought some one was saying you could get them on ebay...

^^ damn man that sucks :(

thats awesome, would be cool to have

so whats this all about pink datsun radio???

haha radio well i got the ramsun project and bruiser right now.. the ramsun is just to keep me busy, not a very important build. the bruiser, well idk how much work i will do to it. i think i will just drive it, the only project is to keep it daily driving :( now my slave cylinder went out in it lol. the other project... purple nissan (precious) got sold a while back, the vw is my fathers. but i do most of the work. was supposed to be mine, but we changed minds, and its his now. i will be doing a few jobs for friends here soon like a paint job and body work, and body kit on a 95 subaru impreza, also help him build a motor for it. will also be acquiring a 96 mazda millenia (whenever i go pick it up) for free in pretty good shape, minus the blown motor. i will only be picking that up if i can find a motor at a decent price. so you ask what projects i have right now? just the ramsun project.

love the truck man! what are you asking for it?

well the cab is about 3 different colors right now. it will prolly get sprayed like a matte white. the frame will be black spray in bedliner.

its a 7 hour drive from me to you.. about a 3 hr drive if we meet t the border again. the truck has been stretched about 2 feet longer. so it wont be geting a box. we have been thinking about "skinning" the rear frame, with a hinge right before the rear end so if we need to do stuff to the rear end it would be easier. it will also have trailor fenders on the rear, we call them floating fenders here cuz we will weld them to the rear end, and they will travel with the wheels. as for interior. just a seat and a steering wheel and a few switches. there will be virtualy no wiring. just a couple wires to the coil and a couple to the starter. thats it.

im a lil confused radio, what cant you get off? the drum? take a pic for the retards :)

also if any near here wants the front frame portion of a 71 521 and also a cab and a box to the same truck, your welcome to come take it...

this is my combination of a datsun and a ram 50 well i was doing this truck a few years ago to bag and daily drive it. well i took my rear end in to get new seals and stuff and the shop got rid of it. i was pissed. so its been sitting for a couple years without a rear end and stuff. so i just got a parts 521 and didnt need it anymore, so i hacked off the rear frame, and merged it with the ram 50. it wont be bagged, but will be low, with a 15inch rim and a semi lo pro tire. it will have the g54b in it still, planning on a weber 38/38 soon. it has the balance shaft removed and also the jet valves. it has a high volume oil pump also. and a header. well i running short on time, so ill just post the oic's

nice truck man, good luck with it, looks like a good start so far. and for that tube just keep soaking in pb blaster... maybe try twisting it out with a pipe wrench. tap on the block around it with hammer to break up rust inside it. heat, freez just a few suggestions ?

cant see the pics

sorry man didnt mean to be such a dick, but it seems to get asked on here all the time.

not to get too far off topic, but what are those heads too in the background?

also ka-kait has a datto, or atleast did, and it was bad ass!
