Mystery 521

[XXL]

Sorry, I meant the tail light brackets.  The brackets that hold your tail lights.

 

It looks like the stock sheetmetal on the bottom edge of the bed to me.  

[Phixius]

those are stock taillights..  same as 520 taillights...

 

I aggree, That this is a 68... maybe i missed it, but do ou have a title?  whats it registered/titled as?

It's either a 68 or 69, I'm waiting on the title from my neighbor. She has had it since late 60's then she sold it to a friend then she bought it back. Now it's a father and son project. I believe it's registered as a 69 and now out of DMV system since tags expired in 2004.

I love your tail lights. Did you fabricate the brackets or are those JDM?

Tail lights are original

oh good you lowered it I thought I was getting nose bleeds from the nose bleed height, but it subsided when I got to last page

Would you have the part # you used for rear kit? 3 inch for 3 inch tube? Or 4 inch for 3 inch tube?

What all did you do to the front ? Thanks Sean

DJM LB4LK lowering on eBay from summit racing. It's a 4" drop for 3" tube with the correct angle for the driveline. For the front I adjusted the torsion bar 2 notches to from stock to get the ride height I wanted. I will also swap out the front shocks with the shorter front shocks from 70's ford pinto. They worked great on my last 620 truck.

Cool cool thanks . Did you need to remove the bump stops in front or mod. em?

bump stops in front are still the stock ones but I will either get smaller ones or cut off half of the bump stops

[highdesertdatsun]

Thanks. Your truck looks good.

Thank you for removing the incorrect Toyota side view mirror. Yeah the console is also not even a Nissan part and needs to be burned.. :devil:

I like the garage shot with all the datsuns :)

That's a "68" 521.  They're supposedly supposed to be a '69, but true 69s had the standard larger 521 taillights and round reflectors, whereas true 68s had the 520 taillights.  The reflectors on the sides MAY have been removed, but more likely as a '68 it never had them to begin with.  Also, the inner door locks weren't "shaved" as they never existed.  The inner door lock is done by turning the inner door release lever the other way, much like old American trucks from the 50s.

ouch, please tell me it was on non op and it doesnt owe backfees

Yeah, Laeceon told me that, or however you spell his username. Did the '69s come with the J13?
