Looks like Datsun brakes on a Dana 30. Easy enough to get disc brakes with dana 44 6 lug knuckles & brake stuff. 
There is a 1" master cylinder for z cars that works pretty well. 

That will happen. What is the plan when you do upgrade?

Ok, I see now that it is an open knuckle D30 (dana 30). The locking hub in the grainy pic looked like a Toyota, but it's one of the old Jeep style bolt on Warn locking hubs. Probably a Jeep axle.

If this is like mine was, it will have dana 44 flat top knuckles to convert it to 6-lug and the datsun drum brakes adapted to the spindles. 


Metalguy, if your pics are less than 4mb you should be able to upload directly to the forums through the post function. 

Welcome, looks like a nice project.

Cool car, always liked these. 

That is always my first bit of advice, a factory service manual will typically have everything you need to repair whatever is broken on whatever you are fixing.

Hello! I live in Nashville, Tennessee and I have one of these boats. I’ve had it for 20+ years. What a fun boat to drive and have fun in. I have ran into a problem and can’t find parts. I need a total head with cam and a rebuild kit bottom. i’ve had one of my buddy neighbors. It’s more handy look at it. He says it has a bad cam bad lifters think it’s a couple of them and bad rocker arms. Does anyone know where I can find parts for it? Would really appreciate it. It’s such a waste just sitting in the driveway, I’m ready to have some more fun! 

Thanks,

Captain safety

Pics! 🙂

Well done Steve.

Thanks, I thought you would appreciate it lol

Have a few transmissions kicking around so I made a comparison video. 
I know I missed some stuff, like GL4, but there is some good info, especially identification.

If you wanted to donate I believe you can send funds to the email info in the flyer. 
They did beat their goal and broke a few records with attendance for the play. 

Here's a bit of video, was not a huge turnout but the cars were cool with a bit of variety. 
 

Beautiful rig. 

You can attach pics through the post function at the bottom.

For imgur, you have to right click, copy image and paste it in the post window.

I love the looks of the 3Bs

I always dreamed of having a fleet of Mitshibishi diesel ones, they seem to be cheap on the market but  if alot of parts around. I have a feeling they are better actually(more dependable)

find some NGK wires that fit. !!!!!!!!!!!

The current ones in it tested out good. Will be seeing about this next tune up. 

an old pic of my Jeep was posted on FB. The 3B is my buddies. 

The Energy Suspension poly mount bottom holes are slightly different than the Datsun mount. Nothing a little grinding can't fix.
The stock Datsun mounts are pretty durable in my experience, I usually recommend those.
Nothing wrong with the poly just a bit stiff. 

A couple pics 🙂

I fixed the leaks from the box, but it was no good once I was able to test drive it. Got a new one installed and it feels great now. 

I can find out 🙂

Roller bearings in the idler arm?

that one uses poly bushings, but it is where I got the idea to upgrade and use thrust bearings. 
I have finalized the design but want to run it before offering them.

That locking nut was the final piece to the puzzle.  
 

imho idler arms always seem to be an afterthought on production cars. 
The 620 stock design is terrible. 

I got one of those from a leaf.

Gonna try out my roller bearing idler arm first though. 

Nice camper. 
What are the laser cut parts for?

Nice G sedan B)

Took it for a spin. Still needs some stuff but it is drivable 🙂
