Any one know what this empty spot is for

Any one know what this empty spot is for

 

 

 

If your talking about the empty bracket below the radio delete plate, it would likely be for the cigarette lighter.

According to the cigarette manufacturers, you would walk a mile for a camel back then.

[snapdaddy]

Is that what the single wire under the dash I think it might bring light green /red wire go to

[snapdaddy]

What about the empty space below the heater fan switch

What about the empty space below the heater fan switch

 

 

That is the stock choke cable location.

[Tristin]

If the 1669 510 cigarette lighter is the same as the 521 one, then I have one to fill that space if you're interested. I was going to use it, then decided on a different route.

[snapdaddy]

Yeah what's urbprice shipped to 79118

[Willdatsun]

Is there a differents in 521 beds

 

I bought that bed trailer and it doesn't have the cover for the. Little tank inside the bed , nor does it have thevscrew holes for it

 

The one at the Junk yard has the cover and that little tank. So I'm going to go and get them maybe next weekend

 

Also the gas tank on the one at the junk yard it is smaller then the one that came with mine

Mine is kinda bulky and square. That one is Tina slim and roundish

[snapdaddy]

Well I guess I dent have a pic of either of them so I'll post that tomorrow

Depending on the model year, and if the 521 truck was originally sold in California, it may or may not have a evaporative emission system to control fumes from the gas tank.

The extra tank, and cover ahead of the left rear wheel in the bed is for the evap. system. The major problem, is the evaporative gas tanks actually vent through the auxiliary tank in the bed, and up to the air cleaner.

 

There are some extra underhood parts you need for the evaporative system. If they are not there, no sense in putting the extra tank in the bed for it. If you have the underhood parts, you should hook it up. Evaporative emission systems actually give you a little better gas mileage, and do not hurt the power the truck has.

 

If you want more details on the evap. system, I would be glad to share.

That would be the manual choke

[snapdaddy]

Here is my org gas tank

 

 

Here is the one I go out of the junk yard

 

 

 

 

 

It's hard to tell from the pic but the org one is bout double in height of the one I got from the junk yard

This looks like a stock 521 tank to me.

[snapdaddy]

 

what tail lights are these i tried seaching but didnt come up with much

[skyblue]

those are your standard issue 521 stock tail lights. i believe from '70 maybe late '69 through '72. someone correct me if i'm wrong on the years.

 

although, upon closer inspection they are missing the back up light clear lenses. hmmm.

 

they're supposed to look like these

 

kinda looks like someone just stuck a piece of red plastic over the housing on the ones you have cause they look flush. Stock tail lights protrude a bit from the housing.

[wayno]

These are a first for me, never seen these lenses before.

Do these look like red plexiglass cut to fit, or do they have ridges in the lenses that make the light reflect better?
