I still have a scar on my face from when I went into power pole back in 1981 with my first Datsun truck a 1972...bounced off the steering column and ripped the seat belt out of the floor pan too....these trucks are something you don't wanna wreck...they don't fair well at all...thank god you walked away from it...the Jeep looks pretty whipped up to... MikeC All things considered, & knowing how hard the Impact FELT, I am amazed how well my truck held up. I don't know that I will ever feel quite as safe about another vehicle, as I do about 521's at this point. My Truck took one hell of an Impact at both ends, & I was able to walk away. 2 Quote Link to comment

mainer311 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 On the other hand, I always loved slot mags. Wish I had a set for my Roadster. 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 What is that in the center of the hubcaps? The gold patina on the trim looks cool. 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Very nice. Don’t hate the goldish rust style however I like the chrome better. Love it. Don’t do a fj swap and follow this other dumb ass leave just it like that. 2 Quote Link to comment

RatRandy Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Where on earth can a dude like myself find one of these killer canopy's?! I have been searching high and low for one....any suggestions? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I've driven this truck. You may have mentioned this already, but you'll probably want to lift it a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've seen 4-5 go from $FREE-$300 up and down the west coast in the last 3 months just with searching the keyword "Datsun". If you use something like searchtempest to watch all Craigslists in the NW and narrow your search to something like "truck canopy" 2 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I would add "shell", "camper", "topper" to your list. For craiglist you could enter datsun shell|camper|topper|canopy for instance. If you get a lot of spammy type results, you can exclude results with the dash/negative symbol the same way, like datsun shell|camper|topper|canopy -tires|forklift|bmw This possibly won't include shells that fit when the seller only specifies Toyota, Courier, Ranger, etc other older small trucks. 3 Quote Link to comment

You may have mentioned this already, but you'll probably want to lift it a bit. I think Al already did that. I had heard it was a little too low to be practical. my old truck sat a little higher than I liked, but I never got around to putting my 720 4x4 leafs,& blocks on it. I don't know exactly how low it will eventually be, but i should have some idea once the slot mags are on it. I am currently thinking about how this truck will be used. I want to put good use to that canopy, & also am looking for a tent trailer to tow behind it, when we go camping. 1 Quote Link to comment
