I just bought a 1960 320 that has been sitting for 20 plus years. There is no carb, but the hole was plugged. Going to put some marvel mystery oil down the cylinders and see if she'll spin. Anyone here have a carb I can put on this thing? Or, tell me what kind of carb I can get that'll work on it. Also, the front drums were seized tight. Had to heat them and beat the daylights out of them to get them off. Gonna need all new brakes. Can a fellow still get all these parts? Need the rubber lines, wheel cyls, wheel seals, drums, shoes etc.. Would talk with anyone on my nickel. Call me or email me and I'll call you right back. Wondering if it's worth restoring or should I put a bigger Nissan engine under the hood and make it a driver. Appreciate any and all [email protected]

If it's a 1960 it's not a L320. They weren't made until 1962. It it's truly a 1960 it's either a 221 or a 222.

Thanks for correcting me. It is a 1960 as it has the flared front fenders. There is no VIN tag on it though so I have no idea which number it is

Congrats on the truck. Id try to leave it as stock as possible seeing as it's rare. Brake parts will be a challengeYou MAY be able to swap 521 drums onto it making easier to find brake parts. The stock carb should be a NIKKI..it'll be stamped onto the front plate. Check E-bay..they show up occasionally .
