Nwmcrider Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 So a while back I saw this truck pop up for sale, unfortunately I was not in the situation to buy anything having just picked up a couple new motorcycle projects. Then I offed some stuff and began the hunt for this little bastardized Datsun I thought was pretty damn wicked looking which led me to ratsun. I've always been drawn to the weird and unusual, from cvcc's to who knows how many oddball motorcycles, and this truck I was hunting was definitely odd!!! It consists of a 72 521 sitting on a 84 Nissan 4X4 chassis powered by a ka24de, I believe it's known around here. The mad fab man that constructed it also had an interesting 510 wagon and an epic little journey with the truck pulling the wagon across many states. Well now she is mine and I'm one happy camper :w00t: It needs a little love, some interior work, a little of my touch and maybe even a windshield! Some really cool trucks on this forum and it sounds like a lot of knowledge as well. Hopefully I can become a productive member here! Well, without further ado, here is my new creature!!!! Rode the bike to go look at it, had to load it in the back to get home :devil: 2 Quote Link to comment

4perrev Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 FNG, You ride a Kawi and own a 521 so you're all good in my book. Nice ride (both). Welcome to the site!! Quote Link to comment
