Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
What size is the speaker sitting in the back? I've got some 6x9 boxes sitting in my closet that I use to have in a single cab 720. It's a 6X9 speaker Justin, but I don't want you to break up your set, I only need one, I was going to go to the Goodwill and Value Village to see if I could find one bo...

Re: CL ads
They never came with a two tone color scheme from the factory, it's also missing its side trim. I don't know if the tailgate was just not completely put back together when the photo was taken, but in the photo it is missing the licence plate light assembly, the top trim piece, and badge, that top tr...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I put POR15 on the box sides early this afternoon to convert the rust, now I need to pick a bed liner. I still need to fix the cut outs I made in the bed before I put the bed liner in the box, I have been looking for a early 520 being parted out that I could cut the fender wells out of, but either t...

Re: LZ23 engine build
I have the oil pump, oil filter, and plugs now. After reading the Jason Grey info again I just realized I could have made a long rod engine, kinda regret that, would have been nice to make something new/different. No big hurry though, I will be painting the engine compartment before dropping this en...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I am going to do the box before I do anything else, that way if there is more over spray, I won't have to do it again. Here is how it sits in my driveway today. https://s17.postimg.cc/qh2ofzzy7/DSCN5878.jpg https://s17.postimg.cc/6nqknamkf/DSCN5879.jpg https://s17.postimg.cc/ds8dwbttr/DSCN5880.jpg h...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I bought this Pioneer Super Tuner from 510freak quite a while ago, it is now in my 520 ute, and it seems to work great, I also got seven 8 tracks from that era with it, but am a little worried it will eat them if I try to play them, but I don't care, I just want it for the FM radio. I like stereos f...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
Surprises me that it's not quieter. Do you have all the interior back in yet? Carpet? Yes the carpet is back in, but it is not very thick/heavy carpet and it doesn't cover anything in back of the seats, normally I have that back there covered with coats, rags, oil and water containers, umbrellas, t...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I drove it around the hood today, doesn't seem to be any quieter than is was before with the sound deadening material was installed. I need a 620 brake booster, not the super small one, the next size up, when I step on the brake the idle goes up because of a booster leak, and it doesn't work very we...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
Over the last few years I have come to dislike looking at my trucks with different color box insides, I really don't like the red kingbab 521 diesel stepside box being blue on the inside, I made a cover for it and then ruined it trying to make it lighter, it was so heavy. Now this truck has a dark r...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
My brother has that polisher (or maybe an older version) and it's a very nice unit. You should be happy with yours. On the bed, I'm not sure about the white liner. If they even make it, I would think it would look dingy over time. I think regular black would look fine. Are you planning to use it li...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
Truck is on the ground as of today, everything needed to drive it legally is on it except the rear license plate, all lights work, but I did forget to fix the speedo cable while it was up in the air. :lol: Oh, it has no interior yet though, not even seats, but it is on the ground. :) I bought this D...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
When ever someone starts talking about sanding, then I start thinking that I will need to put another coat of paint on it, I am tired of putting paint on it, if it was on a rotisserie then I would consider it, but it is not. My painter guy I used too use would just cut it with a buffer and then poli...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I sanded and re-sprayed everything that needed done, I removed the hood and sprayed it hanging from the back of my trailer, that worked way better than trying to spray it flat. The top turned out great considering it was flat, I had to sand and re-spray 4 other spots, all this lead to another issue,...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
From a distance it does, but not up close. It needs to be sanded again and sprayed with one more coat on the top and hood, the sides are pretty good/smooth, just the hood and cab top need re-done. I got impatient and just sprayed it when I should have stopped because of the wind, when I started it w...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
Well this is the color I went with, and I am so happy I didn't go with the stock Dark Red it was in the past, even though I spent a lot of time trying to get it smooth, I wasn't even close even though it felt smooth to me. https://s14.postimg.cc/886c774e9/DSCN5864.jpg https://s14.postimg.cc/msnf20zc...

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I put the first coat on today, everything was good until I was half way done and then all of a sudden the wind picked up.
I will clean it up tomorrow and put another coat on, the hood got the worst of it.

Re: Waynos 1966 datsun 520 ute
I primed the interior today, but first I removed all the windows, and I mean all of them, even the door glass. I masked the dash and covered steering column with a bag. I plan to put all the glass back in with new rubber seals that I already have, the rear window will be a slider. I removed all the ...

Re: Mad MAx Dual Sport Apocalypse Survival Scramblers
Sounds like you need to carry extra tires from now on also, and lots of tubes. :lol: The scenery brings back memories of my hanggliding past, I have landed in places like that and had to hike for hours out to a main road to get a ride back to camp just to turn around and drive back out there with my...
