datsunaholic Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I don't think 520 tailgates are year specific; in fact a 521 one might work. Quote Link to comment
nukeday Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 The wrecking yard thread here is worth checking, especially since you're in the PNW. Here's one from late July, the truck may be long gone, IDK the turn over at the 'big city' yards. This is a dual headlight truck, but the hood and tailgate should both work on your truck. If you can't find something up by you, there is one in my area. The yard is not a 'professional' yard, so if you want anything off this truck you'd better hurry. Once it starts raining, getting to the truck and pulling parts will be muddy work. JAM Engineering sells brand new manifold to weber adapters for aobut $30. If you search eBay you might find an MGB PIERCE intake manifold which will bolt to the J13 and provides a weber mounting flange. If you haven't done it yet, I highly recommend downloading the 520/521 factory manuals from the 620.com. I've gone back to these over and over to help me figure out how some part or another goes together. You should have the short taillight's, they come up on ebay regularly. But it also pays to search the Parts for sale area here on the site. One example... Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Like nukeday said being in the PNW is like being in the heart of Datsun country for the US. Great truck keep up the search and you will find what you need. If it were to easy it wouln't be fun!:lol: Quote Link to comment
