qship510 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yep, another one started that I'm not finishing. I started this project with the intention that I would drive it every day, but things change. If I don't get what I want for it, I'll stick it in the garage until my 510 is done. Anyway... -71 521 -12 Valve KA / 5 speed -720 Spindles and Brakes -3.90 Detroit Locker -Rear springs moved inboard and up 4" -steering column shortened 3" -body is off the frame See my add on Sacramento Craigslist at http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/821170543.html See project pictures at http://datsun510.com/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=3414 Thanks, Jerry 916-477-0882 Link to comment
dqami Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 How hard was it to shorten the steering column? I don't care for having the steering wheel in my chest. Link to comment
qship510 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 How hard was it to shorten the steering column? I don't care for having the steering wheel in my chest. Not hard if you can weld. I shortened it when the truck was still pretty much together, and I test fit it after it was done; made a huge difference fitting my body in the seat. The toughest part was disassembling and reassembling the steering box. Link to comment
fisch Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Sounds like a pretty good deal from where I am sitting. KA, 5-speed, detroit locker, Disc brakes up front. Add those things up and then add a straight 521 body an frame that has already been blasted. Yup, sounds like a great deal. Someone will have a hell of a truck when it is back together! Good luck with teh sale! Link to comment
