Hello:
I am new in this club
I am new at datsun trucks
and definitly can not find a hot wire in my 71 datsun pick up. I can usually install a radio as long as I know which wire goes to the ignition and which one is hot all the time. But when I got my pick up, it came without a radio and not sure which color to look for. can anyone give me some advaice?
Thanks
Fernando

Check that site for your wiring information. Also, if you are able to use a digital multimeter, double check the information given to ensure that it is correct. They have wiring information for a lot of cars out there. Hopefully they have one for you.

Here is a link to my photobucket 1971 521 wiring diagrams (2 images). radio wire appears in the #2 image. These files are over 5 meg each is why I can not post a good image of them here. Please feel free to download these pictures to your computer if you like.

The radio wire is blue with white stripe according to diagram. On the diagram it is located between the clock & windshield wiring connections.

Hope this helps.
