doord521 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Now I know where I have seen that truck... It used to be in Relaxed Atmosphere... We want to see pictures of the front set up if you would please. It has flipped kingpins on it.... If I remember right it has a prety nice interior in it too... Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I guess those people out in Oaklahoma don't use the inter-webs Hey, I'm on it all the time. But if it wasn't for meeting Jeff at Canby I probably never would have found out about this place. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 i need to get some carpet. anyone know where to get some pre formed for my truck?? It's a truck! Go to Home Depot. :D Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 def gonna be runnin black astroturf after i fix my rusty floor and put in the insulation/sound deadening i got for it. had green in the trunk of my civic, i loved not worrying about something being dirty or wet or even greasy, it just wipes up or vacuums out. as far as this sweet ass 521. damn man, awesome. def need to see some front suspension pics, as has been asked. my 2 cents are i love the striping, love the scallops (i'm gonna do some on mine) just not a fan of mixing scallops and flames, BUT to each his own and the truck still looks bad ass. plus i like to see you adding your own personal touch to an already kick ass ride.

They have 68 and up listed for datsun/nissan trucks... I haven't called them yet to see if it actually for a 520/521 yet... 68 & up will all be the same floor pattern. I like the pic of the bench seat too...maybe mix in some aqua piping? Quote Link to comment
ADrummond Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I like to look of the front end without trim too - I've been debating whether or not to put mine back on after the cab is painted, and seeing yours made the decision for me - no way! Nice truck. Andrew Quote Link to comment
country Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 sweet truck i have the same wheels but chrome on mine. but do you have spacers on them cuz mine dont sit that flush Quote Link to comment
kansascity1 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 It has to have spacers on it. That is the only way you can get the front center caps on. Also it would need at least 1/4' spacers in the rear to keep the wheels out of the frame. Quote Link to comment
pugz Posted September 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 ive got 2 1/4" spacers in the floor board of the truck??? lol Quote Link to comment
country Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 i dont have any spacers right now and my wheels fit they are just too dam far in Quote Link to comment
kansascity1 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I'm running 99-00 Escalades. I had to put 1/4" spacers in the rear because they were getting into the leaf springs and almost rubbing the frame. I need big spacers up front, because I cant get my center caps on because of the hub Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The Z71 rims had to have the centers bored out to fit the hubs....I would guess that the escalade rims would be similar. Somebody has some pics up of their hubs being turned down to make it work. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Not a 521, but it's the same principle...all turned down. Quote Link to comment
pugz Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 ok well im pretty sure my brake problem is a wheel cylinder or the ps brake hose. i might get into it this weekend. jsut had 2 wisdom teeth pulled so we will see. but when i get into it ill take some front set up pice and see if there are any spacers.

Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I just bought some front wheel cylinder rebuild kits & front hoses from Napa for $70...[had to pay a freight charge]. E bay has some listed often too. Quote Link to comment
pugz Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 orielly had the wheel cylinders for 26$ and the hose for 11$. i ordered them yesterday and got them same day. they had them in their local warehouse Quote Link to comment
