true .... or some jackhole tears up ALL KINDS of shit trying to pull something as simple as a light switch.

 

 

What's sad for the guys that need parts is that the hard to find parts type cars are treated the same as a 90s mini van,, instead of separated out and let be picked over more thoroughly  like in the olden days.. :no:

I went to Rancho Cordova to check out the '74 710. There were already 2 620s in the lot when I arrived!

 

This friendly guy (not the owner) was dressed to match this 620:

There is still a lot of useful stuff on the 610 - it looks like it had aftermarket a/c, though it isn't all there. Other than the seats, and nasty-looking muck in the cylinders, it is in pretty good shape. I took some dash parts, but I didn't hulk-smash the dashboard apart, so there's still lots of useful stuff - if anyone out there needs a blue clock or nice taillights or irs stuff or some black interior panels:

The red king cab 620 is a member here.. its heretic's.

 

Yeah - I met them at the 610... when I saw their trucks, I figured that they would be there at the freshest Datsun!

 

The pair of trucks were owned by a nice father-son Datsun team (they got the 610's cylinder head)

I actually do need a part (or few...) off of a Black interior sedan: I could use a rear passenger door panel (mine has a ragged rip in it); How was the back seat (both pieces)?; Front Seat Belts?

Let me know!

The interior plastic was very nice actually - the dash pad had some cracks, but the door panels and seatbelts all looked nice. The seat covers were all shot, but it looked more like they were dried-out by the weather than lots of miles, so they could get new life from a recovering. It looked like the car had sat for a really really long time, so it might be musty in there - the seats all had gross covers/ scraps of fabric covering them...and the original fabric was toast under those covers. Carpet & headliner wasn't awful, if I remember correctly. The rear package tray was there, but it had some cracks that would need to be repaired.

Then, I would want the (previously mis-spoken) rear DRIVER'S side door panel and the seat belts (complete with buckles)...let me know if (/when?) you are going back and I can PayPal you some money for these items. I won't need the door plastics or the pull handles/arm rests.

 It was a full day for me to get there and back - maybe there is someone closer to Sacramento?

nice meeting you Will, your 710 is beautiful & the interior is AWESOME.

 

 

That junk yard 610 could have been "save-able" BUT it had A LOT of rust around the front windshield & rear window as well. Will is correct on his assessment, that thing had been sitting so long the tires were rotted flat. the L20 was shot with the #3 cylinder full of water & completely rusted, I didn't pull the oil pan or plug but I'm sure it was equally as bad. the only reason I pulled the head is because it's a U60 & my fingers are crossed I can save it..... sooooo.... IMO this car would be a PERFECT parts car to keep a much better 610 on the road.
