AtomChurch Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Why do you want to "retro" in a crank? What sort of engine are you trying to build/? If you are just trying to go stock, you should be able to find someone who can regrind and balance your old one. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 You're looking for a VG30 crank. If there are any D21 trucks in Mississippi some will have the VG30Eor VG30i in them. They are not rare. Quote Link to comment
AtomChurch Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 The slang term on the west coast for your truck is a "hardbody". there might be a "hardbody" engine crank that works somewhere that pops up. You just have to make sure it will work for your engine. Quote Link to comment
Jesse C. Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Any Nissan VG30E crank will work. Do not use a VG33E crank as the snout is bigger and your oil pump and pulleys will not work with it! Quote Link to comment
