Speedymaru Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Just got a new datsun! It’s a 78 king cab, and it was free 🙂 It needs work, but it seems like a solid base to build off of. It seems to be fairly complete. No brakes at the moment. Not running yet. Ill post some pictures in while. 3 Quote Link to comment
Speedymaru Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Here’s the picture of the truck https://ibb.co/fMMQxRd Also, it’s a 5 speed! It has the deluxe badge on the side. Does anyone know what this means? I’m assuming the deluxe package included the decals along the body, and the 5 speed? 2 Quote Link to comment
Speedymaru Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 And here’s a picture of the engine bay and looking down the throat of the carb https://ibb.co/KDLKPdDhttps://ibb.co/nC2YgbV It has the stock carb on it now, would you advise trying to get it running with the stock carb, or should I just upgrade to a Weber now? 2 Quote Link to comment

Speedymaru Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Oh okay, cool. Thanks for letting me know. Anyone have any suggestions on switching to a Weber now or trying to start it with the stock carb? It looks like there’s some corrosion on it. Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Looks like a nice project and the price was great! Quote Link to comment
Eric Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Looks like a great deal. Love the sticker! Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think it's always easiest to try starting with what you have. If you change things first, then you add extra variables to diagnose. 1 Quote Link to comment
