Datsun 520,521 parts for sale" thread in the classified parts for sale section on page 18. I have purchased from him as others have in the past, some have not been as pleased as others, but he is getting things that they won't order in this country, they just say it is N/A(not available) at the dealerships in this country. It's not cheap at $300.00 + shipping. Quote Link to comment

CharlieBucket Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I like the slots. Awesome truck no matter what rims you use. That seat is killer, and matches perfect. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 truck is awesome I like the stock wheels painted white and the small white walls looks best but lower the truck would be good also. Love the color!!!!!!!!!!! New steering wheel? Pathfinders look better if maybe you had 195 or 205 65/15s But stock rims tires is my vote http://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=18180 Quote Link to comment
