Guest DatsuNoob Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is that just my eye playing tricks on me or did someone chew the ass end of that bed off? Nice Can-o'-pee though. Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 That's NOT a '73. Looks like a '78. Link to comment
35Exploder Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Is that just my eye playing tricks on me or did someone chew the ass end of that bed off? Nice Can-o'-pee though. Ya the ass end has been hit but really not bad. It is kinda rough like I said, thats the reason for the price. It has a great running L18 and new clutch. Link to comment
35Exploder Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 That's NOT a '73. Looks like a '78. I have the title and it says 73 Link to comment
84TAVeRT Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i would check that you vin matches your title... 73 had little black vents on the cab behind the doors... Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Considering it has a later model grill, no vent on the side of the cab, the core support is for the later model years (although it is orange and not white like the rest of the engine bay) and whatever else 'Holic could point out... It sure looks like a 78 to me. Does it have disc brakes in the front? Does the VIN on the truck match the one on the title? We are only trying to help ;) Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Also the Dash has the later model EGR thingy on top (Yes I know calling that a Thingy is not correct in Datsuneese)..But, ya know what i mean guys..(looks more like a 78 than a 73)....but ya never know hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Long list: No cab vents ('72-75 had vents, '76-on did not) L20B core support ('75-on) Retractable seatbelts ('76-on) Seatbelt warning light pod ('78-79 only, prior also had an EGR light) '78-79 type grill (that doesn't mean anything though) Terminal lug connector for remote ignition module attached to radiator ('78 only) Fuel return lines ('75-on) Large(er) brake booster with disc brake master cyl ('78-79) Illuminated light switch ('75+) Doors don't have the rail-type panel retainers (72-75 had them, 76-on did not) Somebody swapped titles to avoid emissions or worse. Maybe the VIN plates too, but the Frame VIN will tell the tale. Link to comment
35Exploder Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well thank you every one for your help. I dont know alot about thease truck except they are a kind of colector for some people. So do you think it would be more worth my while parting it and dumping what I can't sell? I just need it gone. I would hate to see a good motor and trans go to waist! Again thanks! Link to comment
nismopu Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 From the posts sounds like your best just parting it out. Also, a bit of a long shot but a 73 could look like a 78 if your eye sight is poor, lol. peace. Link to comment
35Exploder Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well .....I need this truck GONE! Will take anything! If its not gone by Feb 8th the hole thing is getting trashed! Let me know if you want anything off it. Name your price! Located in Salem, Oregon. Great running motor and trans with newer clutch. Motor does not smoke! Just needs a carb/carb rebuld.

laniadude Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 what is that on the middle of his dash near the windshield???? Link to comment
laniadude Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 oh...ok....i still don't know what that is...lol Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 So do you think it would be more worth my while parting it and dumping what I can't sell? I just need it gone. They were not saying that your truck is worthless, just that it is not an original 1973 truck. It may be pieced together from several trucks but the body as a whole is likely 1978. Maybe someone had a 73 and 78 and built them together but just put the VIN numbers from the 1973 on it and sold it like that. Could also be stolen parts... but for an old truck like that, it happens and can still be fixed up. electronic ignition and (if it has it) disc brakes are a good thing. The bed is not so good. :o rather than part it out, if you need it gone just take pics of the body from all sides and put it on Craigslist. Post up a super cheap price. Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 The fact that it has an L18 doesn't help- they aren't really looked for. I mean, I paid $95 for my '74 with an L20B and 5-speed already swapped in. The body was about the same. The swapped VINs worry more than anything else though, unless it's just a typo (the VIN on the title would tell the tale, as a '73 and '78 have different 1st letters) Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 oh...ok....i still don't know what that is...lol something you disconnect and throw in the garbage. :mellow: Link to comment
laniadude Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 oh one of those things...ok now im not worried that I don't have one...lol:D Link to comment
flyerdan Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 So I went and got this this afternoon, title does indeed say that it is a 78. Don't know yet if it has an L18, haven't got that far. Took three tires to get it towable, here's a picture of my bodged together out of scrap pikey towbar just after arriving home. Wiring is hacked up and it seems that some small woodland creature had expired in it some time back, but the glass is good, has a slider in back and four matching chrome spoke rims. Possibly the best bonus though was the coveted factory tach. Link to comment
