69 521 Build in the Buckeye State

[Datbuck]

 

 

I got my hands on an all original 69 521. It has the original J13 engine and Tranny. That will definitely get replaced. I really want to do a L20 Build as opposed to a KA Build. That way I can keep the Bench seat and both of my boys can ride in it with me. However there is not much in the way of Datsun parts in this part of the country.

I am planning on tearing the truck completely down and building it from the ground up. So this will be a slow build

those pics are some old ones. I have started the tear down. The fenders are the worse pieces, They have some dents. The Drivers side will hammer and dolly but the passenger side will take some more work. Really wish I could find some better ones. the tail gate will also need some rust repair.

Although I am still Looking for a L20 to build I did pick this up for $200.

 

 

An old friend of mine has a salvage yard. He is going to drop it at my place and I get to take everything I want off of it,then he will haul it away.
