1966 datsun 520

[chris67]

I just picked up a completly stock zero rust very straight 1966 520 single headlight. The only thing its missing is a grill and the headlight bezels. It has a motor and trans in it dont know if it runs yet. Cost me $100 and $40 to deliver it.

Were do I find a grill and bezels?

Is it a single headlight, or does it have two on each side? Nice find! Do you have pictures? We like pictures a lot. wayno

[chris67]

Sorry single headlights as for photo i will take some tomorrow when its light.

A friend of mine has a single headlight grill, I just emailed him to find out how much he wants for it. I do not beleave it was perfect though. Nice find! I am looking for a single headlight to make another kingcab out of it. wayno

Your funny, You finish one of my many projects and I'll start yours. It is not that hard, you don't even have to know how to weld like a pro, it's just a lot of spot welding. I hijacked chris67s thread this time. :unsure: wayno

Here are a few photos of my 66 and the last one is an updated photo of my daughter 67 we are building.

Beautiful truck. I am rebuilding a 1966 520 w/J13 motor. After searching for parts, I have found that some 510, 521 & 620 parts a well as A & E series motors components interchange.

Good news the motor looks to be fine. It wont start right now but turns over fine. Its been sitting since 1997 so its no big suprise she wont start. LOL Dont know what I will do with it I already have to many projects going :blink:

Is the 67 datsun that you said you and your daughter are building this one? I looked at it last winter, the convertible 520. :) It was a really good conversion, with visor. It was really beat up, looks good now. wayno

 

[chris67]

Yep same one we took the bed and cab off of it and put it on a completly redone frame.

[Charlie69]

Thse are both great 520's to build. I like the 67 hood scoop.

[wayno]

That guy that was selling the truck was really proud of that GTO hood scoop, he also was proud of that black, totally customized 320 with the narrowed box in these pictures.

He said he did the box over a drunken weekend. You have made the 67 520 look real good, considering what I looked at last year. That truck was beat up, the guy tried dropping a V8 into it. What engine is in it now? wayno

[tdaaj]

looks like an Isuzu trooper grill in that 320

Sent you a pm about a grill I found.
