I'm 99% sure I'll post some of the next batch in the classifieds.... 3 sets are already spoken for, I'm waiting for a local place to give me a quote on some metal sheared to the size I want.... I'll have enough for 12 sets.... 2 Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I also was able to deal with the remaining bolts keeping me from installing my new hitch on my frontier... In the end 3 came, 2 I was able weld nuts on and remove... 1 didn't play well ... after 4 failed attempts I ended up drilling it out.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Since one hole didnt have any threads now I was able to use a longer spare bolt I had for something else and I welded at nut to a scrap piece of metal to help reach the bolt and prevent the nut from spinning... 1 Quote Link to comment

Hey Charlie I still need your address so I can send you the parts.... I hoping to ship everyone's out Saturday... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 To those waiting on the door clips they were shipped today.... You should have messages in your mail box with tracking information.. On a side ways not.... I seem to have spent all my spare winter datsun money, luckily I have some small projects to finish up and work on... The reason is our washer and dryer broke and something else is happening today ... not vehicle related but something pretty awesome for my family... Pictures and story to come later today... 2 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 So this little guy got added to our family today.... about 12 weeks old, he is a boy named Buddy and he is a King Charles Cavaliers Spaniel .. Not much of a story, we just got really lucky... usually people are waiting 2 or 3 years to get one of these dogs... we happened upon an awesome breeder who doesnt advertise the puppies and its been four years since they have had any available puppies... 5 Quote Link to comment

This breed is supposed to be pretty chill.... we had a Jack Russell and as much as I love them we do not have the patience or time for a breed like that right now.... 1 Quote Link to comment

He's actually going to work with me for a while, basically till he can last 8 hrs till I come home from work without peeing in the house... hes definitely going to rolling in the datsun... I realized its been 6 years since my jack Russell Max passed, he's the dog in my profile pic... his collar still rides in the datsun attached to the old leash anchor point I mounted in the cab.... 3 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Congrats on the puppy. It won't belong before he is running the household. My great dane will not fit in my 520! LOL Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 My little friend at work.... He was nervous at first but is fine now..... I took him for one ride in the datsun over the weekend just to see how he would be... he didnt seem to be bothered by the truck but the ride did get him a little nervous... maybe he thought I was bringing him back... hopefully that passes.... So I took the Nissan today because I figured just going to work would be alot for him... we will get the datsun after work to get my kid from school. 5 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Well he doesnt mind riding in the datsun, but had to take an inside shot. He is not big enough yet to stand up and look out the side window..... Hes been doing great at work, naps half the day anyhow.... 4 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Love it !!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Well the truck seemed a little unhappy with me Saturday, the idle was a little wierd and I was get air/fuel ratios up around 18 - 20... Turns out the exhaust pipe came loose from the header, I was able to tighten it up better for now.. looks like this winter I will be pulling the header to weld that connection...

Crashtd420 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 I also decided to move my fuel filter and add a correct fuel return line.... On the fuel filter I added an anti drain back valve between the tank and filter just to help keep the filter full... seems to have worked.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Next I added a return line from the carburetor to the tank... I added a tee after the regulator and before the gauge... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 And back at the tank I added small filter just so i could see fuel flowing back to the tank.... Still needs a test drive... 1 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Where is @mainer311 with his comment about 40lbs of adapters on my truck? Hell I think you got me beat by a miracle mile my man. Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Oh and my passenger side door spring broke yesterday and I think I almost prefer them without it. My drivers side never had one and the door was always much easier to open and close and not my passenger side is too. Quote Link to comment
