difrangia Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 If you need the rubber boot for the clutch throwout lever, get one for a 1961 MGA from Victoria British in Kansas or maybe Moss Motors. Perfect fit. Many parts will interchange with British stuff in the early-late 60's. I believe that Nissan built some vehicles under license (or some other business arrangement) with Austin-Morris. Compare photos of the 50's and early 60's Datun & Austin-Morris sedans and pickups for perspective. Looks to me like they were pretty much divorced by the mid 60's. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment
Loryde520 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Closer view.. Im also trying to look for these hub caps! If i have to settle for the other ones (dog bowl dog dish watevr it is) i will but i like these more so let me know 1 Quote Link to comment
Loryde520 Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Those wheels are from Coker wheel and they sell those flush mount moon caps for their wheels specifically. I wanted the same look but I went with the cheaper version chevy truck 6 bolt wheel, although they were a little hard to find. Same effect though. I've also got a rust free '68 520. 1 Quote Link to comment

FunkyFresh520 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 A little update, got the truck running its throwin some smoke but ill see if it goes away, but the radiator overflow hose was throwin a lot of water so i gotta change the thermostat and if its not that then get a radiator. I also gotta rebuild my carb, so once i get to those things done ill see if everything runs fine with no problems. , and if it does ill start on the brakes 3 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I did the L20B in my 66 520 and later after all the mods to fit the L20B and the automatic transmission I swapped the chassis to a 1980 720 chassis. But the mods for both swaps are in my 520 build thread. Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Do not remove leafs from the rear, buy a set of 720 4X4 leafs from a wrecking yard and install them, removing leafs is stupid, it creates axle wrap which can cause issues, sometimes major issues. 1 Quote Link to comment
