mklotz70 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 love the rad in the bed! :) I see a power brake booster....does it have discs as well? Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Niiice! I love how ratty it is, then you open the hood and BAM!!! Dyn-o-mite! Great rig! Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 You should hit that thing with a buffer, I bet it would come out pretty nice, paint looks to be in good shape. How long will those tires last with that engine in there?:D Quote Link to comment
kiznook Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Might want to cut the u-bolts off, suck when you get tire flex and shred the sidewall. Right Klotz? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I shredded 2 new tires that way... :( Good thing that was a long time ago :) Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 A buffer would probably clean up most of the paint, it's the dents on the Pass side you can't buff out :-) When it was mine, the whole truck was going to be flat blacked. Harder to see the imperfections that way. Quote Link to comment
521 V8 Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah its probably going to end up flat black with some old school pinstriping. I have a guy that is going to do some pinstriping for me for free so that will be sweet. Yeah I will probably cut those u-bolts off here some day. I already splattered rubber all over the passenger side the other night. I can't wait to mess with the hondas. Im just waiting on insurance and registration to start terrorizing the streets.

yellowdatsun Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The truck really needs a posi rear end. I was going to throw one in if I had kept it, especially if I wanted to run it at the drags on friday nights. Quote Link to comment
521 V8 Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yeah, a posi would be nice. I could probably find one in a junk yard and rebuild it. I have all the tools at work to do it so it would take less than a day to throw it in. I have another 350 that I am planning on building up here soon. I will probably rebuild the tranny too since Im not sure of what condition its in. Just more things to make it more crazy. Quote Link to comment
drastic520 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 i see you have 5 lugs... what are you using??? looks killer.... Quote Link to comment
510six Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Looks like a Chevy 10 bolt. Quote Link to comment
reese Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 here is a Ford V8 version for sale in PDX.. http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/car/606162983.html Quote Link to comment
521 V8 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yes it is a narrowed chevy 10 bolt under there with the stock Datsun springs. The guy who originally built it used the stock Datsun hub and redrilled holes into the hub itself and welded the studs in. If I could I would get an original Datsun hub and just put it back to 6 lug and hopefully find the same wheel just in 6 lug to match the rears, or get wheel adapters, but for now I will just cross my fingers that they dont start cracking off.
