Phixius Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Would have been fun to see your car on fire.. now back to dattos... get that driveline in yet? Heres me retrieving your driveshaft from the 520... not much left on it... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 You should snag that light and rock it... Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Are the rockers wasted on that 520? I actually need another 520/521 back half of a cab if not rusted out, and/or the top if it is straight. Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Tossed the one piece drive shaft in today....wow big difference ....520 one piece dropped right in with new u joints.....so much quieter. Sol much smoother. Ridded myself if a vibration in th shifter and the terrible growling off power....oics to come Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 at this ride height, which is aided by my goon rear end in the bed ..... thisis the amount of clearance i have to the cab ......the 520 driveshaft is the same diameter of the stock two piece......my goon one is much larger in diameter...

DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I need loaner rims. I want to get mine done. Pm a price quote if you can. Quote Link to comment
ol' 320 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Jrock: What spec is the motor your built up for this? How do you like the ride comfort since you raised the shock towers? Quote Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 l16....720 custom 5sp....stock rear diff for now......raised towers helped...but still a mini truck lol Quote Link to comment
ol' 320 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I went back through this thread but can't find info on your front brake swap. What are those? Did you ever hook up speedo to the custom 5spd? When you built that trans did you have to replace many bearings and internals? I bet this is a nice cruiser w/5spd and a weber upgrade. With your trick speaker pods did you lose much legroom on the side or is there still room for your foot when you are off the clutch and cruising? Quote Link to comment

Will that guy sell that bumper light? Im like 87% interested... If youre over there ever (or Jon) Id love to know if it was a vintage light or a cheap new one. Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 When I went to get the driveline, he wasnt there. I had to wait for Jon to text me to make sure I had permission to work on it. Didnt want him to come home and think I was trespassing and stealing... Im sure he would let it go, I think everything that he wanted off of it, he got. Jon can call and find out, and i can grab anything anyone wants (im just down the road). I know its also got the factory square speaker. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 If the speaker box isn't cracked, I'd be interested in it if noone else is jumping on it. Also, I assume the dash and metal door pulls are gone? All you cool kids already have the 520 dashes.... poor me, I'm always late to the party :crying: Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yep, dash and pulls are in his 521 already. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I figured they'd be gone, but it's always worth making sure :) Quote Link to comment

I am looking for something with good rockers, although if it was being scrapped out I could still use some of the exterior sheet metal. Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 snag the bumper for me if you can i pm'd jrock with no response yet so Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 snag the bumper for me if you can i pm'd jrock with no response yet so Are you looking for a 1966 style bumper? That is not a 66 bumper with the crank hole in it, I don't know if all the 520 bumpers had crank holes, but that one looks like a 521 bumper. Quote Link to comment
