In need of some parts for my 521

[Byron-521]

Looking for rear tail lights for my 521 & all the little lights that go on the sides. Interior parts as well like seat belts & little parts that go on dash. I stay in southern Cali- Inland Empire.

Hi Byron, welcome to Ratsun. If looking for parts have a look through or post a want ad in out classifieds.... http://community.ratsun.net/classifieds/category/3-datsun-parts/?sort_key=date_added&sort_order=desc our forums are for info sharing and discussions.

 

Another option is to keep our eyes open for one in a back yard or wrecking yard and buy it as a parts vehicle.

 

On your next visit please post some pictures of your truck.... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/54932-photobucket-ratsun/

Hey, I've got nothing for parts now. But I see you're in the IL. If you find something and need it cleaned, feel free to message me. Bought an ultrasonic cleaner, and I'm more than happy to share the space with members!

The price of the tail light assemblies kind of makes spending some time in a junkyards more feasible.

 

For the side marker lights, Nissan used the 521 style of side lights on a lot of different models, and years of cars and trucks.  The difference between the different model side marker lights is the rubber base, to match body contour, and the length of the wires to reach the wiring harness connections.  The lens, trim ring, and metal base are all the same.  In many cases, you can get by with a rubber base for another model of car or truck, on the 521.  The rear marker lights mount on a pretty flat and straight up and down area of the bed, and I have used a basically flat rubber piece I think from the front of a 620 on the rear of a 521.

Thanks for all the info I appreciate it, I've seen some tail lights on eBay looks like they ship from

Thailand do you guys recommend it buying a pair from

Thailand??

Those are not going to be the US spec tail lights, so they're not going to fit your 71.
