datto510 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Nice score! Am I seeing shit or is the rear tire cambered inward in the first pic? Maybe that why it came with a spare axle? Quote Link to comment
slammed521 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I will go look at it but i think its the angle of the pic Quote Link to comment
Mr. Squirrel Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yea, there is something strange about that rear tire. Not bad for a free truck either way. You can't go wrong.. Quote Link to comment

slammed521 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 well i am buying a 94 nissan hardbody thats bagged already so this is what i think i might do.Since the hardbody is bagged and has disc brakes and all the good stuff I want to take the 521 body and bed and put on the hardbody frame.I know there will be some fab work needed to make it work.but less work than bagging the 521 and updating all the brakes and swaping the newer motor.This way all i have to do is shorten the frame and narrow the front clip and make new body mounts and it will be a good running bagged hard521 Quote Link to comment
