from the looks of your under hood pic and looking at the key pad where your stock stereo would go, I would say you have a programable musical horn

Chrispy--your first post says that you bought a 67 datsun, but the pictures are not a 67. It could be a 75-77 though. I am guessing that you meant 76, not 67.

 

Anyways, cool little truck. The front fender vents(firebird?) look familiar too. There was a local truck with something similar years ago.

 

Did you get all of the matching wheels with it?

 

Did you find the wiring diaghrams at http://www.olddatsun.com yet? That will help you figure out what goes where. That dash keyboard kinda looks like a very early alarm code box?

This truck had been posted on craigslist for a long time. Glad someone finally got it.

I love buying cool trucks that don't run well. Especially when its a datsun:D Yeah, looks like an alarm code box. That truck was either built like that way back when it was new, or in the late 80's early ninetys when everone was doing walk thru's. Defeats the purpose of having a "truck" though, but still in some cases, pretty kewl. Nice truck, hope ya get it back on the road.

I like your truck, I have a temporary fix for your bent valance

 

 

I like the 80's custom look, hope you keep the flavor.

The panel above your heater controls looks like some sort of fuel economy (mpg) computer.

Cool looking truck. Maybe Steroid knows about it. :rolleyes:

[chrispy]
