Wrecking Yard Report

I've always wondered, is it pronounced "tee-daj" or is it "ta-die"?

Neither....it's Fucking Ted ;)

[bananahamuck]

It's an old Native American saying that roughly translates to,,  "one who find many part for you"   Or in english,,,,,,,,,,,,, Fucking Ted

620 in heaperia was slightly beat, primer grey nice sear though. Little stained,but no tears. L20b w58 head round port header. Trans unknow was stuck

[Seeker > 620 KC]

I'd bet BananahaMuck is accurate with the translation, but I think Ted has the right to pronounce it "Ta-dah!" or any other way he wants when he shows up those those really hard to find parts!

'68 Nissan Patrol in the Anaheim, CA. Pick A Part

[Charlie69]

That looks like a roadster not a patrol.

yeah they posted it as a patrol

[Seeker > 620 KC]

There's a 78 620 standard cab pickup in the Chula Vista PaP JY. They listed incorrectly it as a 79 210.

 

The body is wrinnnnnnkly bad, every piece of sheet metal. Interior, outer trim and lights are gone, and door parts have been picked over. Wheels were thrashed after-market.

 

But the short block, trans, drive shaft, and diff are still intact. The tailgate says 5 speed. I didn't climb under it, but did shine a light into tunnel cover and didn't see a 4 spd inspection cover, so I'd speculate it has a 5 spd in it. Couldn't test it as shifter was already gone.

 

Windshield and door glass looked good, no back window due to camper shell.

1980 510 @ pick your part (ecology) in Chula Vista CA

 

[HOGIE]

Any Bay Area folks gone to see this 521?

It's at the Merced Pick-n-Pull.

 

From the pic it looks like it has the early 521 reflector, I need/want them!!! I'll pay for parts, shipping and some time if someone grabs them.

 

Edit: Wrong (Also as a 69 it also likely has a metal dash.)

[thisismatt]

69s don't have metal dashes.  Possibly a one piece driveshaft, though.

[HOGIE]

Oh. Got it. Someone on here has been looking for a one piece 520/521 driveline, who....?

 

 

I would still love those reflector!

[gene knight]

i am looking for a 1 piece driveshaft

[Cleopatra Jones]

Went to the LKQ in Rialto. They've got a pretty beat up 1981 210 hatchback. I went to get another rim for my spare tire and the rear bumper strip. I loved how the headlights were held on and their attempt at making an antenna.

 

[gene knight]

Went back to the junkyard in flagstaff, Arizona and grabbed a almost primo tailgate after some work of getting away from truck behind it which back bumper of said truck was pushed against the datsun 521 tailgate, had to use a big cherry picker/moveable engine puller on wheels to lift the back of the 521 up just enough to clear the other truck to open the 521 tailgate and knock out the hinge pins

Been there , done that, those engine hoists can be an immense help!
