unfortunately Virginia and the east coast make it hard to find parts trucks like on the western part of the state, I thought i had fenders and bedsides lined up, but i got screwed over by datsun recyclers, luckily i got my money back but that was a 3 month ordeal in itself. I think ill just part it out and save up and find a better starting point -

so when i went to buy it, it had some rust ill admit i was like no problem. but once i started to remove parts i realized i was way over my head, previous owner had hidden rust holes with good old bondo so most if not all body panels have a baseball size hole in them. yeah i was blindsided most rust was patched with bondo, didn't see it until i started stripping it, since it hadn't started to bubble up -
funny fact, the reason we didn't use pencils in space is because we did not want the pencil tip to break off and potentially get caught in the electronics or become a dust in zero g. Back to the point however I agree just use gloves, but if you REALLY REALLY want heated hands for some reason in a car just use hand warmers?

yeah you are right fixing is always cheaper, but i am at a loss, i will check the secondary to see if it is open slightly, another symptom is when running at the high rev range, hitting throttle does nothing so it makes sense maybe secondary is stuck open.

hey everyone so I am looking for some advice, awhile ago i took apart my stock hitachi carb to rebuild it and clean it out in hopes of making my truck run better. Well fast forward to about a month ago I have hooked everything back up, new fuel lines everything it doesn't want to start unless some starting fluid is used as well as it refuses to idle at anything less than 2400 rpm. ( usually starts at 3400 rpm until choke is open) So i am thinking i messed something up on reassembly, most likely fast idle cam? or it could be something even worse, i have a book but no idea how to adjust th

You can sometimes find floor pans on eBay. They fit as well as you could imagine.
