Roman Tasel Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have been looking for a car on craigslist and found a datsun pickup. When the guy discribed the truck, all it needed was a thermostat (not really). It needed a lot more. We drove it for about 1/2 a mile and it just broke down. i had get the carb rebuilt, bought a new valve cover gasket, water pump gasket, oil pan gasket, water inlet and the gasket, aTHERMOSTAT, had to redrill and re tap a few holes, bought a filter for the carb, fuel pump and filter, and spark plugs. I will post pictures when finish a few things.:lol: Quote Link to comment

moparvwfreak Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 sounds like my truck. "it over heats and we replaced the water pump. its got no thermostat, and the rust isn't to bad." yeah right. but it made it home and up untill 2 weeks ago it drove nicely. Quote Link to comment
