^^^^Those are SU's, they cam stock on some datsuns, I don't really know what ones, maybe 200bs and such, and they pull the air from the sideways direction instead of down so I guess they are technically call sidedraft carbys.

 

Looks like the front suspension of something with rack and pinion steering???:confused:

[Llittle_Llama]

so are the sd's better? or just different. not looking to swap, just curious, lol. and what are side drafts that everyone says go with the rising sun hood? are they different than these?

[tnip]

the suspension pic is there because that supsension is completely custom. it's on a 620. the 620 suspension looks nothing like that stock.

thanks, i had no idea what was up with that, imma have to take a lot closer look at that pic now, lol

Hey Downshifter, those are tailgate "skins". Years ago they were sold by Sir Michael's Louvering. A few guys on here have contacted Michael (Burley) to see if He would once again add them to His catalog. He has ads in almost every magazine. By the way, He still has His first truck.... a 320, so He is technically still a minitrucker. Anyway, I couldn't get a skin for My trailer project so I took one of My louvered rear rollpans and had My welder Guru, Rich, do basically the same thing You see there. It turned out very good.

OK, OK, due to popular demand................. More photos!!!! It is My pleasure to share them. That, actually is why I am buying all these magazines. To share.

 

 

Thanks a ton for posting that. I saw that just before I was planning to take my seat to be reupholstered. I think it's going to look pretty good now... :D

seriously???? :confused:

[datsun76_620]

OK Fellas....Where do I get a "bumper" roll pan like that?????

 

 

 

 

Also... any tricks/ideas on filling in the gap under the bed to the rear wheels to match the cab bottom??? (just sheet metal and some welding??)

no, i know there are no gains, but i wasn't sure if they knew it then or not. maybe thats what the WERE for, but they just didnt do it.... i was young back then, not really into this stuff, lol.

As for the custom stuff, in Japan they all make that stuff themselves. Its hand made with sheetmetal and a welder.

 

Steroid does sell a bolt-in center piece for the roll pan. If you want it perfectly smooth then make one yourself. The bottom of the white truck's bed has been modified all around.
