You can put more than one photo in each post.

It looks real good, smoother than any body work I am capable of.

I would like to see this in person someday.

 

This is just my opinion, but I would fill the rail all the way back to the end of the bed like you did that first 3 inches.

Did you weld it? You have after pics but no explanation of what you did... Last I saw that top cover was made of wood. Is it all just wood and bondo?

[denmarkboy]

Thanks for the tip on pictures wayno, I can barely work this dam email machine. And thanks it looks ok, you will see this thing in the flesh someday I hope to drive it to as many meets as I can. Still bummed I could get my Shit together enough to make canby.

 

And yes sir ( c.t.d. ) I did all the above, it is wood, metal,bondo and fiberglass is next.l added metal as a filler between the bed and the cab. I bolted,welded where I could and did the rest with bondo. I will be putting f glass over everything in the end.

You know, I always like a vintage truck and My opinion usually is to leave it in it's origional condition but I have to say I LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE ! ! !   When finished You will have one of the uniquest trucks ever built and that also forms as an inspiration for others to try different things. Keep up the good work ! !

Thanks guys, I am just building what I see, if along the way someone else likes it to.well, That's awesome.

 

That's what has always made datsun kool to me, doesn't matter if its a all wheel drive 510 or an all stock 521.they all have special personalities of there own. Never found 2 exactly alike .

 

I don't get a lot of time to keep up the the forum the way I'd like. I'm tryin.

 

Thanks for the local thread I need to pay better attention.

 

As for the lil oranges near future. Just trying to drive it everywhere,everyday. Got an oil leak to fix right now, I will be starting to do some.work with th kc cab soon. Gonna paint it black also.

[denmarkboy]

Really can't beleive I am here "AGAIN" but sometimes in life choices get made for you. And a woman who's name I can't mention has made some changes to my life that requires I change some things in a hurry.

So will be posting a classified ad shortly with a bunch of toys that must go .including the orange truck and other datsun & stuff.

Son if a bitch this sucks.will be taking best cash offers.gotta sell asap

[SandyMush620]

Hope everything works out for you man.
