banzai510(hainz) Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 dump those wheels and find some stockers read olddatsuns.com FIRST!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
521chowda Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 yea to get it running just needs carb, hopefully it comes in the mail today. just got a good ol weber. then im gonna lower it a smidge, wheels and stuff. ill post more pictures as it comes along . any suggestions on wheels? amber fog lights also Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 dump those wheels and find some stockers read olddatsuns.com FIRST!!!!!!!!!!! any suggestions on wheels? Did you miss the post that was directly above yours? There are not a lot of options on wheels for us truck guys. And I think alot of OE 6 lugs just look funky on a 521. There are options out there, but stock steelies with dishes are always win. Quote Link to comment
Rob W. Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I agree they definitely look sweet with stock wheels and dishes Quote Link to comment
521chowda Posted June 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 dump those wheels and find some stockers read olddatsuns.com FIRST!!!!!!!!!!! Oh. Thanks dude! Quote Link to comment
521chowda Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I got the new weber carb on now, welded the pesky exhaust leak. Tonight on the way home i opened it up a little see how everything is working and ive completely fallen in love with this vehicle. Quote Link to comment
68Datsun510 Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Grass valley huh? Hey! We are having our monthly Datsun meet in Sacramento tomorrow night. the510keeper is also from that area and will be coming down. check out http://sacdatsun.150m.com for the location and time!!!

wayno Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 That's always a good sign, when you can actually "open it up a little", and how'd that work out? :lol: :lol: I think the trucks look good with the stock wheels, stock 620 hubcaps(stainless, the 521 caps are chome and tend to rust), and beauty rings. I am partial to the 1979 datsun 620 wheels with hubcaps and rings, I like that look. This isn't a great photo of the wheel, but the fronts are stock 79 datsun 620 wheels with caps and rings. They kinda look like the stock 67 datsun roadster wheels, except the trucks are 6 lug. Quote Link to comment
