yello620 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 What size tires did you end up running on those 16's bee. Did you put your 225/50/16's on there? I like to see that that tire size will tuck that far. Wonder if it will do the same on the later 78/79 rear axle that is 2.25" wider. Jason Quote Link to comment

BEEBANI Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Got some more done the last couple of weeks, removed the tailgate and prepped it for shaving. Had to fix this beauty before I could weld the tailgate on. driver's side needed some love too. Can you say swiss cheese? Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Lookin good jason! I may do mine too now that ive seen yours :D Quote Link to comment
Apollo Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Wow . . . I've just spent a good chunk of time reading up on your truck and let me just say you and your Datsun are extremely inspiring. I'll be picking up a 620 as soon as my B210 sells and just from reading this thread i already have a growing list of projects in mind. Its nice to see projects with a motivated and, in your case, highly skilled pair of hands behind them start to materialize. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the bad ass work.

How many hours do you have into the bed so far? I'm planning on my bed take up most of my body work time. :blink: Looks good so far :) Quote Link to comment

Guest DatsuNoob Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I like it! I got a few nice dimples and dings in my corners too, I'm not looking forward to. I have a friend with one of those spot welder dent pullers, I think I'm gonna give that a try 'cause I know I'd have more hole than yours trying to do it any other way. Only thing I've wondered about is, is there a way to hide or remove the 2 small raised spots for the handles? IMO it looks so much better without 'em. Not saying yours doesnt look good, you've done a good job on everything, was just curious if those two handle tabs can be removed. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 You'd have to cut them out and replace with sheet metal. I wish I had the ability to use a stud gun, would've been easier. Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Can't beat a stud gun. I really need to pick one up. Decent prices at harbor freight. What I like most about them is the fact that they make shrinking easy. But back on topic, I just read through the whole thread, and your truck looks awesome! Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Got the inside of the bed seam sealed and painted, used a self-priming modified urethane that we paint equipment with. It's not pretty, but I plan on putting aluminum deck plate over most of the bed later. Fancy locking gas cap I got from Thailand: Started welding the tail light housings on: Quote Link to comment

TY for taking all the pics you did Jason..they help alot. Dont worry i wont copy you but i do like the bar welded to the axle that the upper bars attach to :D Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Copy away Mark, I'm actually gonna be moving the rear bars in a little to center the bags on the bars. I need to update this thread a little, I have some new pics, maybe I'll put them up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
