1lo620 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 actually it is the March issue and there where 3 Datsuns with show shots. The General Lee 620, a Major Body dropped 521 with 20s, no bed and in primer..But it should be cool when done. And My truck was also had a show shot. The 521 and my truck are also in the March issue of Street Truck... Quote Link to comment

Thats funny, there is a guy in Puyallup with a body dropped 521, primered, with no bed, on 20s haha what are the chances :) Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Ice..So you know the guy that owns that Bodydroppes 521...I would love to see it down. but it seems to be in the same state for awhile now...Any idea if he is going to finish it? Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 so sittin pretti has coverage in the new street truck too?? maybe i can see a pic of my layed out yota(in the background of course) gotta check that out.. Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 pictures please. can't seem to find minitruckin anywhere lately. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 The new Street Truck came in yesterday....pg 6 has a 521 on it!! I think there's been a datsun in each of the last 3-4 issues of both Minitrkn and StrtTrks. We get enough trucks to Canby, we might be able to get some show coverage of it :) Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yeah Mike, I think there was actually 2 521's in the new streetrucks issue. They had coverage of the washington show which had pics of the 521 that ice is talking about (which has looked the same for about 3 years now) and there was a red 521 that looked to be in mint condition. There really seems to be a lot more of these old trucks around now. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 the one with the WA coverage was last months issue....the new one just came yesterday. There wasn't any mention of the 521, but they did mention 320's. It was an editorial about a "Field of Gold" ....some dismantler down south that caters to old mini trucks. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Oh, I must not have gotten the new one yet. Mine never seem to show up at the same time. I've had to battle with the subscription department several times about lost issues. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Mine used to get shredded every month....must have been the top issue on the bundle. The bundle must have changed...they show up in nice condition now. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Here is the best picture I have of the General Lee 620 that was in a show shot in Mini Truckin...for the Sittin Pretti show Quote Link to comment
RB_Shaggs Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 i will get a newer pic of the general i know i have one somewhere that and i have a pic on my phone of the shot in MT but i have not uploaded it yet Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Ice..So you know the guy that owns that Bodydroppes 521...I would love to see it down. but it seems to be in the same state for awhile now...Any idea if he is going to finish it? Yes the guy I know has only had it a year, I think there might be 2 :) I will get some photo's next time I talk to the guy.. I have to say it looks dam good. pictures please. can't seem to find minitruckin anywhere lately. I need to invest in a new camera :( my batterys suck, I think it would be cheaper for the camera than just the batteries. We get enough trucks to Canby, we might be able to get some show coverage of it :) Is that a Hint :) Yeah Mike, I think there was actually 2 521's in the new streetrucks issue. They had coverage of the washington show which had pics of the 521 that ice is talking about (which has looked the same for about 3 years now) and there was a red 521 that looked to be in mint condition.

]2eDeYe Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Is this the 521?:cool: How 'bout 'The General' complete with dents...:D I's amazing what a little searching will find... :P http://www.minitruckinweb.com/events/west/0703mt_2006_summer_slam/show_information.html Quote Link to comment

Looks sweet, its almost a little too big for me though. Maybe ill just do 19's on mine. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 ...and look who else was there :D Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 He has 20's in the back, 19's in the front. It's not bodydropped, he was at dropzone 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I wonder what size tire hes running in the front, it looks super beffy. Is he still running the stock datsun front suspension????????? Quote Link to comment

1lo620 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 In my personal view of the 521 truck is that it will probly never get finished. He has had it like this for at least 2+ yrs without alot of changes...His big issue is with those big wheels and small truck he isnt going to be able to get a engine in it...ANd I have never seen a bed for it...But it keeps getting show shots, so all you project Datsun guys, get out there and do up the truck. Most of these magazine guys like the old school trucks. One reason is that they are a change of pace from the 250 mazdas, 150 toyotas and 300 new age S10s...So all you die hard classic mini truck owners customized away and hit the shows and you more than likely you will live on in print....:cool: Quote Link to comment

Minitruckin did a feature on a light green 521 that wasnt bagged on 18's and 20's and that truck wasnt even that nice. it looked good in pics, but in person there were dents and dings all over it. Im hoping for a cover, or at least a feature with mine when its done. Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hell if you do a nice clean job, you will get a feature. They are in dire need of a good old school custom to be featured. Just hurry up, that guy down in Tennesse with that Xcab that was in the under construction issue of mini truckin a few months back...that is a cool little truck..And he has an inside track, he has already been featured underconstruction so they are going to be looking for it to be done... And you also are in a good club with several feature trucks and a good rep. That helps...So good luck and Be lookin in pages of the magazines...oh sorry, the cover of the mags...
