Charlie69 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 The truck is a convertible and will stay a convertible. He is building a removable hard top for Shade from the AZ sun. He is using this truck as a daily driver and with a shaved head it is cooking him. More progress 3 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 If you have not noticed on the windshield is AZ Dime Petitioner sticker. AZ dimes is a Chevy S10 club here in AZ. Shawn is the first foreign truck running with them. Kind of a square peg in a round hole!!! ROFLMAO 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Shawn Came over today and did some work for me on my 520. His 521 also received some love, OEM NOS Nissan back glass and new rubber seal. I also hooked him up with a repalcement speedo, a better set of 720 oil pressure and volt gages, and a 720 1 piece drive line. 3 Quote Link to comment

Loren O Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Miss riding around in this truck last summer. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Plan a trip down here Loren! I am sure he would be more than happy to take you for a ride. I am trying to get him to bring his truck to Fontana CA for our SWDP Barbecue on August 12th. He is afraid of getting it impounded in CA. I do not blame him. I 1973 I lost a 1950 Sudebaker Champion to the West Covina County Sheriffs. Impound and towing came to over $4400 and in the early seventies that was a lot of cash for a 16 year old to cough up. 1 Quote Link to comment

ol' 320 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Thanks Charlie..... I wanted to see how you guys made that top. What does the removable top weigh.... do you have to be a gorilla to get that off? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Shawn puts it on and removes it by himself, not sure of the weight. More awkward than heavy. 1 Quote Link to comment
