haubstr Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have been a lurker for too long and thought I would come out and introduce myself... My name is Jamie and I'm out here at Beale AFB in NorCal... Been in the Air Force for 21 years... Had my first Datsun when I was 17 ('71 510 wagon)... My parents had a '69 510 wagon that I drove for 2 years in high school... Since then I have had '70 and '71 PL521's (both gone) Now I have a '72 510 2 door and I just picked up last week a '71 PL521...($250) I obviously enjoy talking about, working on, and just appreciating Datsuns like everyone else on here... Thanks to everyone that has answered my couple of questions that I posted up here and I will start putting in my 2 cents when I feel I can contribute... Here are a couple of Pic's I just took last week... Later Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Nice combo! Wagon would have been better :) Quote Link to comment
haubstr Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have replaced all brake springs, shoes, drums and rebuilt all brake cylinders... I also installed 4" angled lowering blocks and reindexed the torsion bars 2 notches... The only problem now is the shocks are bottomed out... I'll probably get the Toxic #411015 next... Here are some Pic's Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Welcome!! Nice rides....I like the wheels on that 521.:D Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Welcome to the Best Datsun Forum. I really love those 521's! I have got to get5 me 1. Yours is very cool. Did you have to use any spacers for those Tahoe rims? Did I mention that I have to get me a 521??:blink: Quote Link to comment
djlotus Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Did I mention that I have to get me a 521??:blink: I think I remember you mentioning it once before.... Quote Link to comment
haubstr Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I ended up replacing all the wheel studs with 1/4" longer ones and using 1/2" spacers... I also had to use special conical/shank lug nuts (the Gorilla 68077). I used 1/2" spacers because the tires were still a bit to close to the leaf springs and I just kept it the same for the front... Thanks for all the compliments I'll post more Pic's as I do more to the truck Quote Link to comment
