jacimo98 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Okay, I have searched for hours! tried every source I could find here! from Chico Nissan.. To some junkyard in new mexico that I found thru car-part.com! Chico Nissan was very patient and helpful! the dude at the wrecking yard acted like I was an idiot for even trying to find parts for this thing! No offense to anyone! truly! but I spent 20+ thousand dollars on an automotive/autotronics/ diesel,education..and at least that much in tools..i don't have time to deal with some tweeker in a junkyard..acting like I'm an idiot..I know it already!! enough of my bitchin...you guys got any idea where I can find tension rods for a 72 521?? I'm dying over here. I talked my kid into doing a wheels to body,"frame-suspension-plumbing-brake upgrade-kingpin-fuel tank" resto..and im running short on time! any and all help will be appreciated..Jon. 2 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Send Pm to this guy ,, he has a set on a truck that is sitting in my backyard right this second, and probably more at his house.. http://community.ratsun.net/user/37-tdaaj/ He is south of Olympia Washington so count on shipping costs. 2 Quote Link to comment

THAT ^ Well restoring doesn't mean replace or new. He said he was through the junk yard so they are unlikely to be any better and will need sanding and painting. Is he replacing the frame too??? It must have tension rods on it, so again, what's wrong with them that you can't sand down and paint them. Bent? 2 Quote Link to comment
jacimo98 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 The threaded part of the rod was so rusted through that when I was trying to remove them (after letting the PB blaster settle into it), they both twisted and broke off. We tried heat also. but nothing worked. Quote Link to comment
