- A lot of time has passed since our last update. The Datsun's been in the shop getting the new engine sorted, along with the brakes, fuel system (including refurbished fuel tank), carburetor, and other mechanicals. It's now running, shows no leaks (which had been a problem with the new engine; it had to be re-sealed on a few places), and runs like a top... kind of. It's a short overview; we keep working on the Datsun with renewed effort and soon we'll have a longer update, so, stay tuned!
My dad built one of these when I was younger. It had a Buick v6 that ran off of gas or propane. there was a switch in the cab that you could switch to the fuel type you wanted to run. for long road trips he would run the propane and when he needed a lot of power he would switch to gasoline.
I just bought a 1971 521 4x4 coverition with a jeep front suspension. It need new wiring smh,but I'm on it 👍
Me gusta cómo ISO para el diferencia al delantero
We bought it like that, I think it's a Toyota front axle but soon we'll do a deep dive into the components and find out...
These are extremely beautiful trucks. Paint the frame add and chassis with black rust olem paint, and after cleaning put the bed, treat it to a painted bedliner coating to preserve the bed. Love these 620 and 521 series Datsun trucks.
Cuando quieras cambiar el carburador le puedes poner un WEBER 32/36 ese carburador es muy difícil de mantener el nivel de gasolina a veces yo por eso lo cambie .
Thanks, that is something we might do in the future, it's a great option!
How does the truck handle/drive down the road? Is it kinda "squirrely"?
It drives fine as long as the road is smooth and straight. Crossing train tracks sends me into a panic, as does bumpy pavement, it's all over the place!
Do you have a hard time finding parts?
YES! It took us 3 months to get the rear brake hardware kit, it came from Thailand. For some reason, there are front brake kits, but not rear. The engine had some missing spaces at the water pump and we had to source those from a junkyard. The fuel tank we bought a used one and had a local radiator shop refurbish it. Things like that.
@@fourthgear8199 same here, I’ve a 1980 720 4x4 (l20b, 5spd) and it’s like pulling teeth finding (new) parts man, and when I do it takes forever. I was hoping you had better luck than I in that dept.
btw, I love the solid axel. I’d kill for that setup. Did u do it yourself or was that one of the few that came like that back in the day?
Is it for sale
No, sorry
