chevy2nova Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hello, I am new to the Forum and to the Datsun world. I have a couple old Chevrolet Nova's and have always been interested in classic cars and trucks. I never really had in interest in old Datsun trucks until I saw a 1966 Datsun truck a couple days ago. It was not for sale so I asked the owner If he would like to sell and he said possibly so. I asked how much and he said $1300. It is a driver. The transmission was just rebuilt. The body is very solid......a few dents and dings. There is some scale rust in the seams where the floor boards meet the firewall. The seam around the exterior top of the cab is not rusted. Truck appears to be solid. Is $1300 a good price? I know nothing about the values of these trucks. I would appreciate any advice/information. Thank you, Matt- 1 Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Rule number 1 -- we are gonna have to see some pics. 1300 seems fair for a runner. Rule number 2 -- PICS!! Welcome to the forum, this place is awesome!! Everything you need to keep it running you will find here!! Oh....did I mention we need pics :D Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Given your location...price seems fair. This thread is worthless without pics. Your idea of scale rust is probably way different than the rest of ours. I'd say get some. Driver condition 320-don't wait. Is it a NL320 or L320? NL-Unified body. L-Seperate cab and bed.

chevy2nova Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Thank you for the welcome and response........Ha!, I knew the picture question was going to asked........I will snap some pics tomorrow and post. Its a cool little truck. I have NEVER seen a '66 model. I have been to TONS of car shows over the years and might have noticed a couple '73 datsun trucks but thats it. Quote Link to comment

chevy2nova Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yes, It is a '66 single headlight. The bed and cab are separate......It is not a "unified" body. Quote Link to comment

chevy2nova Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 How do you attach pics to these messages?.......I dont see an "attachments" tab. Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 HAHA! I was thinking about offering $800 just to see what happens. To find a single headlight 520 is gettin pretty hard to do. To find a decent Datsun in your area is pretty hard to do. To find a single headlight 520 in your area that actually runs?? Well thats pretty f*&kin special!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
KC Phirus Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Does it run? Does it drive? Does thou have pictures? More info. 1300$ is a good bit of money Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Welcome to Ratsun Bob3 made the 66 520 popular. This is an actual race truck and legal driver I beleave. This is his build thread. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/7446-project-mx520-top-secret/page__view__findpost__p__101518__hl__bob3__fromsearch__1 Does your future 66 have this glovebox knob on it?

chevy2nova Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 BEAUTIFUL '66!.....Thank you for sharing. I will check the glove box knob tomorrow.......not really sure what it looks like. Quote Link to comment
fj40dave Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Look at what I paid $300 for.....and your choice becomes OBVIOUS!!! BUY IT.....give it a good(er) home :D And the Nova pic's would be cool too! Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I agree that $1,300.00 is not chump change, but I wonder how many of them you have seen in your area, i'll bet not many if any at all. If it runs and drives, and has no real rust issues, and it is all there, it's probably worth the $1,300. dollars, I paid $800.00 for mine and it didn't run or drive, but it has no real rust issues, and it did not have the grill either. This is what I bought. Quote Link to comment
chevy2nova Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I am trying to post the pics of the '66 520......I have no idea how. I downloaded the pics in PHOTOBUCKET.........now what do I do? Quote Link to comment

OK, lets do one photo first, put your curser over the photo you want to post in your photo bucket acct, a series of boxes will appear, click on the bottom one that says IMG, it should say copied, then go to your reply post, left click in the field, right click and paste. Try that first, then I will explain how to post more than one photo. Quote Link to comment
