Rusty Dawg Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 Howdy, I have recently acquired another 1960 222 truck and I am in search of some parts. My first one had almost everything I needed, but this one has quite a bit more missing from it. How best shall I post what I am looking for and in which forum? 320, 521, ??? The truck has everything original from what I can tell and the only non-original piece I see is the engine which is an MG 1500. Even the manifolds, carb and transmission are OEM pieces bolted up to this engine. Warm regards 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Roman, I hear crickets. How many 222s do you think exist in North America? I bet three... BTW - did you see that OLD Datsun that was for sale a year or so ago? I think it was from the late '30s. Can you imagine trying to restore some rare derelict like that? Oh wait, you have a 222, so yes, you can imagine! Good luck dude! Quote Link to comment

I have never been very smart in that I don't research vehicles that would be easy to find parts and simply buy a truck when I dig the way it looks and go from there. It's like jumping off a cliff and building your wings as you go. 1 Quote Link to comment

No I don't think so. He's a pretty private guy that intentionally keeps his stuff off the internet. 1 Quote Link to comment
