69 and 70 521

[bilzbobaggins]

Hello. The 69 is a 1300 and the 70 is a 1600. What all is interchangable? Mainly body wise. Any info would be great. I need to mash the two together for one truck. Havent found any info. Sorry if i missed a thread on it.

 

thank you

The doors from a 520 aren't the same as a 521... they're the same dimensionally, but the latch and locking setups changed.

 

Fenders are the same on 521s all years EXCEPT that early ones (68-69) don't have the rectangular cutouts for the side marker lights.

Download the pdf files in the 521 section. They take a little while to download, but they are definitely worth the time. These will familiarize you with model year interchangeability.

 

From the truck I'm working on, '68/'69 was the cross over year. The fact that one of them is a 1300 (J series engine) indicates that it's probably a late '68 titled as a '69. The VIN plate decode is pretty simple on these trucks, if you can post photos, or write up what's on those plates, it will help us know what you're working with.

 

From my experience, the '69 and '70 should be nearly identical in most respects. Is one of the trucks a single headlight setup? If so, it's not a '69 or '70, and it's not a 521. Single headlights were the 520 series, and I think only '66.

 

Please put your location in your profile?!

 

Good luck, there are some real truck guru's on here. I'm not one of them...I'm a bit of a hack, but I'm learning..

Just got back at wrapping up the sale!!! I am the proud owner of a 1970 Datsun pl521!!!! Its too dark for photos tho, so ill have to get them tommarow!

 

Im located in Augusta, GA far from the abundance of parts.

 

The 69 is a quad headlight pickup. It is at the pick and pull. Im going to try 2 get there in the morning to get parts and ill get the build date.

 

Its a good story on my purchase. Ive been up for 38 hours now getting all this done so im going to crash.

 

Thank all of you again.
