Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Allright the time has come to thin the fleet a bit more. Ive decided to sell my 71 521. I just dont drive it much anymore & honestly my 620 needs some $$$ put into it & this will help finance that. I wanted to post here 1st & see if anybody is interested & then do a CL ad if needed. Most of you guys have seen the build pics on my thread & you know ive put alot of hours into this truck. Mind you its not a show vehicle but it's a solid daily & has never left me stranded. Ok the good stuff......... * runs good *major brake job done by PO right before i bought it[1 year ago] *radiator rodded out *doesnt run hot *new alternator *electronic ignition/upgraded distributor *all chrome & trim is there *original rims/caps *300 ZX buckets *body is in good shape *doors & bed have been replaced *all electrical works & harness has never been tapped into *near perfect steering wheel *83 Z car 5 speed transmission *cab back new exhaust w/glasspack & megaphone tip[loud]:D the not so good stuff... *roof needs bodywork [i have 2 spare roofs that can be used as patch panels *a few smal rust spots but nothing major *needs windshield [i have one you just need the gasket & ebay sells em,i have the link] *leaks trans. fluid from the speedo cable insert [simple O ring replacement should fix that] *takes awhile to warm up [choke needs adjusting] *no carpet *burns 1 qt. of oil every month & a half [driving 60 miles a day] Basically i drove the truck 60 miles a day for almost 1 year w. no major issues. I get in,warm her up & go :D Now that i have a new daily it needs to go. Id like to get $1500 obo but for a Ratsun member you know ill be flexible. PM me if you want & ill give you my cell. # call me & hear it run. crap in bed not included..LoL I can take newer pics if you guys want & thanks for looking. Link to comment

Just blocks and torsions or did you remove a leaf? Oh yeah guys BTW she's "lowered" a few inches ;):D I removed 3 leafs & went w/ 3 inch blocks. Yes the frame will bang the axle every now & then. In the front..re-key'd torsions & bump stops removed. I can drop it to the crossmember if i wanted to providing i had short enough shocks:cool: Ive got so many hours wrapped up in this truck i cant believe it. Link to comment
