rare I see a KA 521 actually complete/done/running

[EZG]

It was definitely a bit of a learning curve. I had to finish it, just want to show everyone that even a newbie can do this. All that is left now is carpet and door glass. Thanks

Love it. Looks like a nice install, good job. What was the engine prior?

Still rocking drum brakes?

[EZG]

Good morning or almost afternoon depending where you stay. Thanks , so not sure on the motor probably an L16, I pieced this truck together, purchased a bare cab then the bed and frame, wiring etc. I will post some more pictures soon. 
about the brakes , yep rocking drums. They stop me just fine, but might do the fronts. Thx

Four 10" drums is a lot of stopping power if kept maintained and adjusted but disc fronts are almost maintenance free and will not fade from heat easily. It can be argued that disc brakes are easier to modulate close to lock up.

Good morning, 

I should have probably looked this up, but how do I add more pictures on here.

Thank you

In the reply box you will see an attach button, that works for uploading files from your computer:

 

 

You can also right-click > copy an image from the web or your local computer and paste it in-line into your reply, like I just did above ^

 

If you need to host pictures on the web somewhere, imgur works well and doesnt require an account to upload.

Thank you 

[EZG]

good morning/ afternoon,

hope I did this correctly and that you are able to check out these pictures, they kinda give you a sense of the work that went into this little project. I really do appreciate all the info here in ratsun.net  and other sites. Let me know what you think. All comments are welcome, good or bad, I don’t offend easily 😬.

Peace.

Sweet project mate well done!

 

What are those seats?

[EZG]

95-99 Mazda Miata seats. By far the best fit. Just had to build a bracket to level them out. 

[fivetenguy]

Nice build!

 

What did you use as far as fuel pump/pickup? I'm going to KA my 620 and was looking at options for this.

PHOTOBOMB!!!

 

I like it.

[EZG]

Good evening,

the Fuel pump is from a 2004 Nissan Frontier.

I cut it down to size and installed into the original tank. It did require some cutting and re-shaping with a ball ping hammer. Thanks

Carpet is up next.

[mrbigtanker]

Im jelly your is running. Good Job man love it.

[pidge]

Is that a carpet kit from the eBay fella from Utah I think? 
-Pidge

[EZG]

Thanks mrbigtanker! I appreciate that.

Hey Pidge, the carpet is for a 280 z or something like that. I’m going to make it work for my truck though.

I’ll post some pictures once it’s done.
