Just picked up a VERY clean 1971 Datsun 1600 pickup. I am new to the Datsun world. What are some common things to look for, know, upgrades etc. on these pickups? Appreciate any feedback! Is the 1600 also known as the 520? How do you add images as a URL??...I wanna show this baby off! thanks!

The 520 is the earlier 521 and had the J13 or 1300 motor in it. The J13 motor was retained when the new 521 came out in mid '68. All J13 trucks are labeled L520 and L521. Starting with the '70 model year the L series 1600 motor was used and all trucks after this date are labeled PL521.

 

Problems: rust, worn king pins, fuse box under hood exposed to everything and prone to corrosion, badly adjusted front and rear drum brakes (fixable if parts not seized) loose shifter. .
