need a new 521. asap. Mighty mouse revival project thread

[konig209]

so i wrecked my datto. i need a new one. asap.

a rolling chassis would be best. with a bed ofcourse. no need or cab or front end or motor.

if it has it o well. im battling for 2 of them each owner now dont wanna give them up. all of a sudden. anything under $600.00 would be nice the closer to modesto the beter but i dont mind a drive.

 

i know 600 sounds cheap. but there are 4 here for that price just gotta convince one of two to let go. and the other two to answer.

 

the axle on mine is done its bent. the bed is pretty tore up. the chassis. dog tracks alot more. it would cost me around 400 for parts when for 5-600 i can buy a whole truck. if one of these guys lets it go.

 

i have been all over craigslist. i have called many numbers some dont answer some were sold so i thought i could jump on here maybe someone can help a brotha up.

Ouch. 600 is a tall order. Especially around here. I know Ranman has one for sale. But it in the 2k range. But it can't hurt to talk to him. Good luck. And sorry to hear about the wreck.

[konig209]

thanks man. its still drivable. and well few months ago when i didnt need a datsun i could find them all day in that price pretty much need a roller though. to compensate for the price.

[konig209]

going to save this one for 500 bucks pull the motor front end off and cab and sit mine on there.

 

 

[mrbigtanker]

Is your frame bent or just the rear end shifted,because all you would have to do is fix the rear end and change out the bed.

[uberkevin]

That's a good save and pretty damn fast.

 

Good for you man glad you found the truck

That dash is looking pretty nice.

Everythings there!?

[konig209]

tanker. the my chassis has been bent the axle has been shifted too. i dont wanna try to mess with a tweaked chassis.

 

i might save it gotta wait on a reply from a few others. its 100% complete been sitting since 1983

[uberkevin]

Damn why let them sit...

People are nuts. Lol

 

 

[konig209]

i know.

[oldskoolvws]

This thing was sitting in Crockett a couple of weeks ago when I went down there. It hadn't been moved in a while. Not sure what the deal is, but it may be worth taking a drive and knocking on some doors. The passenger door has some damage, but not head damage :-)

[konig209]

dam thats a mission. i have my front end and another sitting at home. i jus pretty much need a streight chassis and a bed

[konig209]

yo will a 72 cab sit on a 69 chassis?

[oldskoolvws]

That's a Wayno ? but I'm guessing yes as it was primarily a motor change. Everything else should remain the same.

[konig209]

ok nice im picking one up next week to sit my cab front end wheels n motor and wiring gotta do mounts though due to it being j13

 

 

 

 

[oldskoolvws]

Save the ones off your crushed truck and transfer them to here.

 

P.S. that's my color I think...

[konig209]

thats my plan then part out allll my extra parts

2 valences

4 fenders

2 doors 1 back sliding window

1 dash

front suspention and rear plus much more.

[oldskoolvws]

spare fuel tank?

[alabama_lowlife]

Will you have a passenger rear cab corner left over??

[wayno]

yo will a 72 cab sit on a 69 chassis?

 

Yes it will, the 521s are all the same concerning chassis/cab mounts, but the engine mounting is different, as oldsckool said, cut the L block mounts off your 72 frame, and weld them on your 69 J block equipped frame, as the engine mounting is totally different.

While you are at it, there are so many things you should save for the future........

thanks for the streight foward answer.

ok what should i keep. also i am moving my 72 wiring over to the 69 so i can have sidemarkers instead of reflectors.

 

the cab that is show in the pics will be parted out as well so yes the corner piece will be availible.

[konig209]

i will be keeping all the switches and knobs off both trucks. and both dashes. going to keep the front bumper too and wiring.

[skyblue]

did you get this from the 510keeper? the 510's in the background tell me this. also, totally jealous it has the black and yellow plates. if you're not gonna use them dibs.

[konig209]

good eye sir no i will not be using.the plates but i might...."might" just keep it. if its just one if the two are there we can prolly work something out.

everything i sell will be dirt cheap just so i can sorta break even with the exspence of the roller.

It will take to long to name everything, and likely to much space to store it, so I will just be general, all cables should be saved that cannot be bought new, such as the rear e-brake cables, throttle cable, rear gears, front kingpin assemblies for a future rebuild, all good lenses, any good sheet metal, windshield, if your wingwindow rubber is good, save it, as new is $400.00 plus right now, interior window winder handles, exterior door handles(driverside for sure), door key lock assemblies, wiper motor/assembly, rear view mirror, the list goes on and on.

Sell the bench seat, or have it re-covered and then sell the current one, the issue here with getting advice from me is that I have done without in the past, like not being able to find an exterior door handle and having to get in from the passenger side, so I tend to grab them everytime I see one, well now I have too many and am selling them, here is a good example in the photo.

These are the gas door handles on a 720 PU, I looked for so long without finding any, so when I did finally find a few, I grabbed them because I had done without for so long, well somewhere along the line I gathered this pile of them without even realizing it, don't let this happen to you, you only need one, maybe two extras, the sad thing about this is that I didn't even have a stock 720(sold them all) for a time until the recent purchase of the diesel 720, so i didn't even need one of these, let alone 20 of them.  :lol:
