This place can rebuild steering gearboxes. They don't list Datsun, but many guys have had them rebuild 510 boxes. I would check with them if it comes to that need after checking some of the other suggestions. https://www.redheadsteeringgears.com/

Not too familiar with the solid axle diffs, but in the R160/180 type independent rear ends, the ring gear/pinion relationship is adjusted by shims between the side covers/bearing holders and the diff case. Are there shims of some type that move it left right? Typically that adjusts tooth engagement pattern. If the pinion needs to be moved fore/aft, that may need to be done with a spacer/shim. Is that maybe what they are talking about?

Is this for your rear axle?

I will give them some credit, they have made some adjustments from feedback. I know DP Racing has also made some mods to their brake kits or made special kits to fit the Apex stuff (for example, their rear disc brake kit brackets would not fit on the Apex rear hubs originally due to clearances). As RoadRace said, for B sedan vintage cars, there is no real application (although a case might be made the rear mods could be considered "legal", but not really in the vintage spirit of the 1980 GCR).

The front diff won't fit your wagon, but it fits a sedan 510.

JNC has some good posts, but yes their forum went away at some point.

A friend of mine has, but I have not. He was not super-happy with his result, but not necessarily BaT fault. It was not a Datsun though, to your question specifically.

I am hoping to catch this when it comes east this year on its way to Philadelphia. It's tough for locomotives that large to traverse the tracks east of Chicago.

Do you do your own/make that yourself? I have a guy that fixed a Miller sign for me, and I have a Schlitz to send him next. I might have to ask him about making something custom like that. Nice collection of signs.

Looking good. I have an '88 D21 King Cab I want to resurrect some day. I see two different wheel sets in the pictures. What are they from? I am looking for some newer Nissan truck wheels to put on my '77 620 as well.

Tried the link and the site doesn't come up. Does it work for you?

Oh right. I was thinking you were suggesting something done to your lower control arms (LCA), not the steering arms. Even with those, a shorter strut means the lower control arm may no longer be level and thus the sweep arc will vary more one direction than the other. I suppose the raised steering arm end makes that steering rod angle match the LCA.
