wesselus Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Truck is located in Canby, OR 97013 Price $600 OBO Been browsing the forum for quite awhile now, mostly looking for info working on this darn truck. It belongs to a co-worker and Ive been the one cursed with working on it. We finally convinced him to ditch it in favor of something more reliable. Its got lots of plusses as a project vehicle for someone who loves Datsuns, but not so much a rig to get to work everyday... ~15,600 on the Odometer... your guess is as good as mine as to how many times its been rolled over... The good: -Pretty straight and all the metal is there -Glass is all there and good -Good tags (Oregon) til 7/13 -Decent tires on aftermarket wheels -Weber 32/36 -Recent tune up (points, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and coil) -Recently replaced the distributor with a better used one. -Good battery -Gauges all work The bad: -Low compression across the board (130psi) and almost none in #2 (25psi), currently not running -Interior is pretty trashed (see pic) -Brakes need attention, theyll stop you but might pull you sideways into the ditch -Definitely needs an alternator. Pics for your viewing pleasure: The owner really wants to just junk it, but being a car guy myself (of the old Toyota variety) I convinced him that it would be a better fate for the little truck to go to a datsun nut than to the scrapper. Post here or PM me for contact info. Link to comment

What else can you say about the truck? I am interested. When I get to my computer I'll PM ya. I didnt go any further than finding that it had low compression as the owner didnt want to put any more money into it. The headgasket was recently replaced. It had blown between 2 and 3, and looked to me like it had blown there previously. Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Would you be down to trade tools? Snap-On 1/2" TechWrench and Power Probe master kit with Short finder. Have to ask. Link to comment
wesselus Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Uhhhh... the tools here are owned by the boss... I dont think we have either of those, since were actually a landscaping company, so I really just work on the same stuff over and over. Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 OK. Let me gather my finances. Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 This thing has clean title, right? Link to comment
wesselus Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Yes, clean and clear title. Oh and I finally understood your previous post about the tools :facepalm: To clarify: the truck actually belongs to a co-worker who is our lawn maintenance guy, so I dont think hed be interested in tools.
