Daddyoethan Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 OK, I just picked up a 1959 210 (Fresno C/L) body and frame for parts for my VPL220. I now have the parts needed to put together (and VIN plate) to put a four door 220 together. I will have enough parts to cobble this together. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2009/12/07/kidney-anyone-1960-datsun-1200-van-vpl221/ I have done nothing to the VPL220 yet, that is going to be my stock restoration project. The four door truck will be my son's (he is 3 now, so I have a little time). Any suggestions? I will have some limited extra parts in the build, no extra windshields. I'm thinking the bed will be about 3/4 length of the stock 220 truck bed. I'm thinking no chrome, all white trim with green body... kind of like this... http://www.earlydatsun.com/datsun220.html I'm no good with Paint. I can put up pictures later in the week.

MikeRL411 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Well, looks like you have 12 or 13 years to complete this task. You just might be able to find or fabricate all the piece parts you need by then. I sincerely wish you the best of luck! Hope you don't heve to go the plexiglass windshield route.
