Panels available?

[Eric]

I am looking into buying a 521, is there a company that makes new panels? doors, fenders, bed etc?

[mrbigtanker]

Not really but plenty of good used panels to get.

Not so much in the Netherlands. 

In the USA, there are parts available, but you still have to make new floors, if you need them, and in a lot of 521 trucks, you need new floors

I found this place a long time ago and the link below is still good although it says it is not secure, they make hoods, fenders, and the front valance in fiberglass.

Not sure If those will work or not..... look a little closer... it says 510 pickup,  I think those are just for the 510 cars... maybe they are similar I'm not sure....

I would have to call them and make sure what they exactly intended on their website....I am hoping it is just a typo....they are more of American vintage replacement panel company...they probably dont even know the correct models are for Datsuns...
