cbsrt4 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 plans are never set in stone, But im thinking about shortening the bed and welding up the seams of the bed at the same time add a roll pan and shave the hooks, ive ordered my hood so ill have all the front sheet metal, still got to mount the gauges, completely wire the truck "Painless wire kit for non gm column" then mount the seats which came out of a 60's volvo do the brakes thinking about beebani disk conversion and bag the front, So a lot needs to be done Quote Link to comment
LCDC Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Love the truck so far. I've thought about doing what you did with your doors, i've just never seen it done. now i know it will werk. thats so much better then having a 620 convertable with the cab sticking up above the bed.

cbsrt4 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks guys for the support. I almost lost interest in her but I guess I just needed to hear some positive comments to get my brain in check. Also passed on the shorting of the bed idea Quote Link to comment

BaKed Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 i dont understand why you would shave the hooks....its part of the beauty of the truck....yes yes the toyota and everyone else had the same idea but honestly it looks better on the Datsun.....idk your choice i would keep um though Quote Link to comment
groatd Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 well i think it looks more stream line with out the hooks, and did you get those studs at like hot topic or something. i mean are they the same ones and emo and punk kinds put on there jackets, im wondering cuz it looks sick Quote Link to comment
