Canopy

[Idaho Hillbilly]

Value of this canopy? Anyone interested? 

 

Whole truck also available at $1500... no title or engine. I do have an L20 and 5spd I'd sell with it. $250 if bought with this truck. Delivery available in the PNW for a fee. Can try to work on the title situation...

Wow, them look like Datsun mirrors, I cannot tell if it is a 1971 or a 1972, if I were to guess, 1971.

[thisismatt]

It appears to have shoulder belts...72 😭

[wayno]

I can't see shoulder belts myself, but I am old and my eye sight is not what it used to be which in my world is good, I don't want to see what is going on around me half the time.

mikes going to let you know your doing it all wrong, here's where this needs to go >> https://ratsun.net/classifieds/

 

you interested in buying a set of rear bumperettes for $500 shipped BF Idaho ? used OEM 

 

my guess is the 521 is a late 71 of December cause MATT says it has belts. Whats the door plate say ?

[datzenmike]

Shoulder belts June '71 and on build dates making it a '72 model year. My '71 had spaces on the B? pillar for them.

[thisismatt]

Looks like a shoulder belt to me, but could be wrong...

That photo was not posted, I don't just go into peoples accounts, if they post a link then I am fine.

Yes that appears to be a seat belt so it is likely a 1972 as I personally never seen a 1971 with shoulder belts, but that doesn't mean they are not out there, I have never seen one.

[datzenmike]

What's the point of an account that has pictures or info that you don't want other people going in and looking at. 

[wayno]

I don't go into peoples accounts unless they post a link to it or say they cannot post a photo and are asking for help, I also don't walk around parking lots looking in peoples cars to see what is in them even if it is a Datsun unless it is at a car show, then I might look inside to see if they have anything cool that I might like to find for myself.

My 70 has the flat spot on the b pillar.  Makes me said it does not have a nut there for them.

I didn't "go into people's accounts". I clicked on one of his posted pictures and clicked next 🤨

I'll have more pics Monday. Guy that owned it died... not sure what getting the title will look like yet.

Mike Klottz did it to his wifes 70 521.  He did a writeup somewhere here on Ratsun.

I do have to say....Idaho sheet metal looks way less cheese like than the upstate New York stuff does...good luck with the sale..

Truck was in overall great shape if you threw some cleaning at it. Rockers would need some work and a r/f fender. I'm sure brakes and the like would need gone through. 

I'm working still to find out about a title and if the guy selling will budge on price any. I just want to flip it for a couple hundred bucks and have no need for it. Hate to see it get crushed.

[thisismatt]

Yeah, looks like rockers are shot. Late 71 or 72 by the cab. Shame it got left to rot, but yes, still could be nice again.

[gene knight]

need to pull that 521 out of it's current area and clean it up and take better pix

[yenpit]

Like Wayno said.......cool DATSUN mirrors!  😎

[gene knight]

i would like to have that canopy among other parts from the truck if it gets parted out
