Do you have a different offset than stock on those wheels, or lowered more? I like your fitment on the stock wheels. Mine are farther in overall, but it might not be lowered as much.

[Sublime27]

they are just stock wheels an im lowered 5inches in the rear. ill look at them later when i get home to see if they are any different. im going to idaho today to get a center console an maybe some more parts aparently this guy has like 3 of everything... also ordered the petro v3 front spoiler so cant wait for that.

Got it, thanks. I think im at 3 inches in the rear currently. Great looking truck, looks like a cool build to follow!

Nice stock radio!

[Sublime27]

do they usually not have the stock radio? i just gotta find some speakers. also gonna leave the dash alone for now until i get the courage to put a dash cap on. but the interior will be mostly black.  i have my wifes mom making a crochet shift boot so its one off. also have a custom shift knob being made.

[six2ohyea]

A lot of the radios were ripped out to put modern CD players in. 
 

sounds like an interesting shift situation you got coming. Can’t wait to see it.

Painted the side molding black and painted the under the glove box shelf black. I'll probably put the door cards in soon an remove these turbo side mirrors.

 

[Sublime27]

waiting on my front spoiler an custom shift knob then illmake some more progress 

 

 

[Sublime27]

Still waiting on my front spoiler an new shift knob.  but i installed my door cards,kick panels, and a driver side mirror got rid of the ugly turbo mirrors lol  ohh and a bed net just cause i liked the look.

so your saying keep the dash original? im totally ok with that most of this truck is original an if not on the truck i have it in storage.

[datzenmike]

Just commenting on it.

[Sublime27]

i mean thanks! i personally love to learn more about them all the time i actually appreciate it!

[datzenmike]

Other unique '79 items are the radio antenna is on the driver's side and the DATSUN  fender emblems had  BY NISSAN   added on the lower right. This was the beginning of 'soft transition' of the retirement of the DATSUN marque to NISSAN in '83.

Got my Pon Retro V3 front spoiler looks great took a lil bit of coaxing to fit but got it.
