Charlie69 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Looks like a good parts truck to me if it is rusted out. Love the wheels, they would polish up real nice. A friend of mine just polished his on his 521 and they look classy. :cool: Quote Link to comment
74datsun620 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Nice 1975 pickup, Parts can never hurt. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Dood, put some fenders/hood on it, use a cargo net for the doors, throw an extra bench seat in the back and rock that shit!! Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 ha i said the same thing about the cargo net looking at it last night after seeing the doors Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Get that motor covered or the rain will fuck it up. Even if it's beat the head will still be good, but not when the valves are crusty. Looks like lots of parts, nice rims. Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Dood, put some fenders/hood on it, use a cargo net for the doors, throw an extra bench seat in the back and rock that shit!! hell yeah, thats not a parts truck, that a truck that just needs a few parts. Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 well i took the hood off to pull the engine and my buddy wanted to pull the air intakr off so we did and the carb was full of water so its tear down and rebuild time Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hey at least your parts truck had an engine. Mine didn't. Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment

skunk Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 :o OOOHHHH :o are you saying the King Rat is wrong?!?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Check the door build date tag. L20Bs were installed starting in Sept '74. I could be wrong but usually the rad support isn't straight across like this one. The L20B needed a larger rad and the support usually bulges outwards to accommodate it. Like this: Perhaps the different rad support was added the next year and the early L20Bs had the older style? Maybe this was an older truck and the L20B was swapped in? Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 ha we all make mistakes i actually thought it was gonna be an l18 but started cleaning it up a little bit and looked at block and it says l20b and heres a few more of the truck and the other one to Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 See the small aluminum tag beneath the drivers door striker? It has the build date stamped into it. What does it say? . Quote Link to comment
