The last night I fired it up with the radiator standing on the core support trimmed core supports a radiator can go forward about half to three-quarters of an inch so pull it doesn't go through radiator just wanted to hear it run before the weekend so I could get my last supplies today from the parts store and steel shop check out my video on YouTube Fired right up I told perfectly never heard the engine run was amazing

I think it's low enough.

[racerx]

now that's a true Ratsun!  Great job..

[crew521]

It's funny you say that because in that picture the frame is sitting on for two by fours in the back right at the cab so that the wheels were off the ground to start it I'm sure you've looked at the other pictures where the pinch weld is laying on the ground at full lay

[crew521]

You guys all think I should Chop Top it next year maybe like Take 6 inches out build a hardtop removable and my rag top

I'm not a big fan but that's up to you. I think the slammed crew cab dually and then it's off to SEMA. Get on it.

[crew521]

lol with the body drop..chop top be toooooo low lol...im short but to tall for the both of them after going home on lunch and looking at it a few mins ago

[Draker]

I wouldn't go chop top.

[wayno]

I would not chop top it either, but that is just me, it rains and gets cold a lot around here and I don't have a place to park it inside.

The way I do my extended cabs would take me 5 Datsun 521 cab tops to make the extension you have made, it takes me 3 tops to just do a 14 inch extension.

Here is my 520 top extension before any body work or filler, the cab front half, the cab back half, and the 3rd top skin, it took about an hour to tack weld that center piece in once it was fitted.

[crew521]

right makes sense...cold and rainy here..gonna do full removable hard tp ...got a wagon as a donner rig already from a buddy :thumbup: ..just have to take the whloe thing.. i just want the roof lol
