Nice

Can’t wait to see it finished. I had a 71 that that got named the Motorized Wheelbarrow. I should have kept it. 😢

[@buildgrowplay]

Hopefully she'll be near finished by October

Nice work. I drove a red 521 from 1970 to 1974 in high school. Sure wished I had kept it. It had slotted aluminum wheels, a header with 2 inch exhaust, offenhauser dual port intake, bucket seats out of a mustang, 8 track with 6 speakers, and a Dixco tachometer. I also took a Hurst shifter (the handle only) and ground it to fit the Datsun bushing with a T handle.

Love it! ❤ ❤ ❤

Thanks mate 👍 can you tell me where to see pictures of yours?

[@todd5103]

Nice build! I have a 521 and trying to replace a track bar bushing but not able to find one. Any ideas?

[@buildgrowplay]

I replaced the whole thing. Rock auto was the best price even with a delivery charge

Hi where did you get the front Stabilizer Link Rod Set For Datsun 521 Pickup Truck. Looks like you got a new set from the video. Nice truck!!!

[@buildgrowplay]

Could only get one side... I think only the right. Welded up the other side. Hope it holds 🤣

[@psychicer5022]

what did you you coat the frame with? or any of the other parts you may have painted on the suspension I'm probably gonna do a semi restoration(or half assed🤣) just so I can try and prevent further rusting and just enjoy the truck Everything looks so mint on this.

[@buildgrowplay]

Just rattle cans of rustoleum for under coat and underbody spray on the from. The rustoleum rattle cans on parts. Using por15 and a spray gun for under body

@@buildgrowplay ohh, nice! That's what I was thinking of using, thanks!

Sandblasted it all first. Took for ever

[@psychicer5022]

@@buildgrowplay as much as I would want to do that, it'll take me forever. But your results, can't deny them

You "might" be able to find parts in South Africa. Nissan South Africa made a 1400 well into the 2000s, some parts might be interchangeable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_1400

Nice to know. Thanks
