Dat-girl Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I do most all from my phone and I don't have that option. Sorry it bothers you Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks. The truck is really in awesome shapr. I have a little rust in the bed and a little in the tailgate. I'm in love with it already. It is my first datsun. You always remember your first one. Mine was a '71. I thought it was love but it was really lust and lasted only about 8 years. I saw a younger 620 one day and about 7 years after we separated I got one. I've had it for at least 17 years. My 521 was a survivor of Ontario winters. During our time together she was my most constant best friend. Quote Link to comment
Dat-girl Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Bought a lot of items for the ole truck this weekend. Can't wait to get it out and start putting them on. Also, waiting for my rollpan to be delivered. Wooo hooo Quote Link to comment

haubstr Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 What do these 15x8 chevy rally wheels come off of? I want to start looking, but want a direction to go. Thanks haubstr Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 they seem to come off old school chevys and chevy 4x4s, theres plenty of these wheels around, i found mine on craiglist Quote Link to comment
Dat-girl Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 My ubolts are close now but I ordered four inch blocks yesterday so I can get them on and then lower the front more. I gave 70.00 each for my 195/50/15. I found them online for 55 but u still have to pay someone to mount and balance. It rides really well. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Datgirl I think you should come up to washngton to visit me. Color of the truck and wheels? make sure to to a spacer under the carrier bearing so you dont prematurely wear them out. Can be just a square tube steel or soemething. Im sure your car friends will know what to do. so the angle of the driveshaft to not to far off.Can cause noise and vaibration issues. Quote Link to comment
Dat-girl Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 The truck is going to be the factory green for that year. It is what the truck was originaly. It is going to have a kustom paint flair to it as well. I am also going to do some logos on the door for my vintage hobby and it will have to have ol school pinstriping on it as well. I am going to leave the wheels red as I am going to work with red on the interior. My birthday is Sunday and I got a rollpan and lowering blocks for the truck as a gift. Excited to get them put on.

Thanks haubstr They come off late 70's to mid 80's just search chevy rally wheels. They are getting harder to find at a reasonable deal now that scrap prices are up. Good luck Quote Link to comment
Dat-girl Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 It has been awhile since last update but I dropped the truck off yesterday to have some things shaved off of the truck,have the roll pan put on, have body work completed, and get it under one solid color of primer. Excited to get it out and continue working on it. When it comes back I will be getting the interior done in it as well. Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 they look good. but if you're going to primer it why not wait to paint the letters after it's got the final paint? Quote Link to comment

Truthfully this pic was taken over a month ago. I have just been slammed with carshows lately. But my husband does that for a living so that takes 10 min for him to do. Quote Link to comment

Story behind back window... it was my husbands mini truck club through the 80's and 90's. They are in all kinds of the old mini truckin mags. So this year is the 25th anniv. And we are bringing the club back. Quote Link to comment
