datsundna Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I used to buy 620 parts weekly on here and it seems like for the past year or so they have all dried up. Am I crazy? I could really use stuff like light lenses, gauges, bezels, switches, knobs, handles, the list goes on and on. The only things I see anymore that even reference 620 parts are WTB ads. Has Ratsun lost a lot of membership or something? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Every year there are less and less old trucks around and used parts get more used and broken. Once gone they are gone forever and why I rarely throw a part away. All parts, reasonably used should be offered up as spares or for parts to keep other Datsuns on the road. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 A lot of Datsun owners are lazy. The classifieds changed a little, for the sake of administration, and even though they added picture hosting in the ads, some peoples' sensibilities were bruised and they've held a silent strike against the new classifieds.

cruznude Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I have probally most of what your looking for. I'lll send you an I M. 1 Quote Link to comment
orangie Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 The truck is not so collectable so the parts are not that valuable, except to another Datsun enthusiast. I have a lot of stuff, but in all honesty, it's not worth my time. If you lived in AZ. you could just drive on over and pick up all my left over junk. Quote Link to comment
JNHEscher Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have a pile, but nobody wants to pay shipping halfway across the country. Kinda on my own out here. Quote Link to comment

JoeCool Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think a lot of people like myself stopped posting in the classifieds because they are now a hidden part of the forum. Unless you go hunting for the classifieds, you don't see them. 1 Quote Link to comment

Unless you go hunting for the classifieds, you don't see them. Next time, hunt at the top of any page. It's no more harder to find and click on than FORUMS when looking for General Discussion or Project Datto FORUMS..MEMBERS..CALENDER..CLASSIFIEDS..DONATE If a buyer want's it (buy or sell) bad enough he will find and use it. It also cuts down on tourists. You know, visitors that have no interest just wandering through leaving a mess. Quote Link to comment
