Body panels

[daretzcouple]

So here is a question for everyone, where do you source you replacement panels for your 620? I haven’t had any luck finding a hood and mine is in desperate need of replacing. 

 

Is there a company that makes replacement hoods? What about bedsides?

Not that I know of as there isn't a market for them to make it worth the trouble even in the PNW. Best is find another old truck for parts.

That’s what I figured. These trucks are hard to source in the south east

There were some fenders available from Taiwan. They tried to sell as NOS but the date stamp was right on them for the 90s. They are what are known as re-pops from the original dies but if the process is not exact as Nissan originally specified, the metal is inferior or the incorrect thickness the metal does not stretch properly and the fitment is poor.

I bought a front apron from Rock Auto but the hood and fender I used were from u-pull.

The new apron/valance was terrible and unusable. Holes drilled in wrong spots, wavy and thinner than OG Datsun which should be impossible. 

I had to go find a used part at the wreckers.  A little body work on original parts is better than the repop stuff for me. (if you can find it)
