sick620 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 sweet mane but we need pics of the truck!! :) Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Is this the color your going to paint the truck? I have seen this color on a mid 60s el camino, it looked good. Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 wayno, it is a early 70's MOPAR color-- plum crazy purple. i was going to paint back to OG turquoise but want to be different as always since you don't see any purple datsun pickups anymore unless it is a 620/720. last year when me and charlie69, dat620 went to our other datsun club SWDP bbq i saw this chick with her 620 KC flat black with a mixture of fuscia/magenta pearl candy painted dash i was thinking on painting my 521 that color, but took a different approach instead since i love MOPARS and have a 65 barracuda that i wil be painting B5 blue metallic with black interior after my datto is done soon i hope this year. i am incorporating the purple with black interior and silver pinstriping thru out the truck.

datzenmike Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Usually you get the Datsun and then buy carbs to fit it, not the other way round. Quote Link to comment

gene knight Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 as of last night around 7pm GRIMACE is alive thanks to ben(fun5ten) and dick lowell(dr.510) from desert datsuns group here in phoenix,az. we still have a few issues to work out such as going with a electric fuel pump or stock 1, wiring issues for coil/distributor, or going with a matchbox system, still gotta bend new lines for clutch/brake master cylinders and bleed systems, gotta see why my rebuilt/ never been used tranny leaks. pix will be uploaded in the next few days and be on desert datsuns website until i can figure out how to transfer them to here Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 recent pix of GRIMACE are on website desertdatsuns@freeforum.org it is listed under pickup forum then click on 521 progress now i gotta get a new fuel pump either a stock 1 that cost about $30 clams or maybe a electric type. and then i have 2 matchbox dizzys that i may use or go with a petronix kit and updated coil Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Glad its running Gene. On your fuel pump if you can find a factory unit [has i believe 6 screws on top] they can be rebuilt by replacing the diaphram. The cheapo Taiwan ones work ok for awhile then crap out..ive been through 2. & id run the matchbox dist. Very easy to wire & youll like the performance. Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 just recently bench bleed both the brake master cylinder and the clutch master cylinder, in hopes of getting them installed today if the weather permits suppose to have some rain today, cleaned up my man cave(garage) and went thru all my datto parts to see what i will be using and set them aside and the rest are in big see thru plastic totes and labeled as such. installed my tail gate latches. will take some pix Quote Link to comment
