Trouble Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just wanted to share the newest addition to my Datsun family. It is a 1960 PLG-222 original VIN matching motor with 70,000 original miles. Still can't believe I came across such a rare gem in such good condition. Does anyone know if they are having the Southwest Pick up truck show in Fontana this year? Anyone with extra parts let me know...I don't need them just want them as spares, parts will just get harder to find as time goes by. Thanks I am posting a couple of pics here but Here is the link for the whole album:http://s1141.beta.photobucket.com/user/pedromedina1/library/#/user/pedromedina1/library/Mr%20Grim%201960%20PLG-222?&_suid=136315661782109202856353903142 6 Quote Link to comment

Oregon_PLG222 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Absolutely sweet! I have one that 99% complete. The body is very clean w/ a couple minor dings. I'm building a garage so I can get it inside before I start stripping it to the frame. Yours is in incredible shape. Did you get a line on any parts? I need a couple items like wiper arms. 1 Quote Link to comment

Jerry J Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Hi! I also have a PLG 222 that I've had since 1965. I recently tried to take the rear hubs off, but they won't move. The passenger side will spin freely, but even with a large puller, it won't budge. The lug studs ARE pressed into the drum, are they not? The driver side will not turn in either direction. Parking brake cable is loose. Any suggestions would help a lot, thanks Quote Link to comment
