kondog Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 for now i think i just want to change out the big bumper in the rear to the original smaller 2 peice bumpers ( if that is even oem ) i just like the look of the of the smaller chrome bumpers. monday will be registration and tune-up. this is my first datsun, is it normal for it to feel like it's struggling to do 60 mph in 4th gear i have a 1300 motor. yes of course i would like to do a swap but i have no tools or knowledge so i'm gonna have to leave to the pros. plans in the near future tune-up rear bumper replacement disc brakes is there anyway to make this thing freeway safe without doing a motor swap??? i am a f-o-b sorry Quote Link to comment

808DA6 Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 Welcome! Very nice truck. Thanks to some of the members here, there are disc brake options out there for front and rear. "Search" tool will yield lots of valuable info. Good choice on the bumperettes, but they will be difficult to find. :) -B Quote Link to comment
