I just purchased a 63 L320 that has been sitting in a garage for 36 years, as a project for me and my 15 year old son. We made a list of what we needed to get, just to run and move it, But quickly found that parts arent so easy to find. My son found a box under the seat and it had almost all the parts we needed, They were new in boxes wrapped in plastic. There were all four wheel brake cylinders and rebuild kits for brake,cluthch and clutch slave cylinders and a carb rebuild kit. The brand on the boxes say Lazorlite and all the parts are made in japan. Does this company still exist and if so does, would anybody know there info to order more parts.
Thanks Nathan Babbitt (Babbitt Motor Werks)

Welcome aboard, Nathan! That 320 is amazingly cool! How about some more info and pics?

I'm pretty certain the company you asked about is long gone. In fact, I don't know of anyone making a lot of parts for the 320's any more - I have an NL320. Fortunately, you already have some of the harder-to-find parts, and the hard parts can all be restored. Rubber is the only real big challenge.

p.s. Nice Sora Blue Roadster! We have a half-year 1600.

Do you recognize the wheel and tires on the roadster? I bought those from you. I Bought the Truck from the origional owner, All his work trucks were the same color, This truck was his first, The pest control company is still in around. The rear stock wheels were split and widend, I mostly bought the truck because of the lettering, Its completly original and started up with carb clean after 36 years of sitting. I will post more pics today and register the VIN.
Thanks Natahn

So you're the one that snagged that truck from Phoenix CL last week! I was stalking that truck and the listing disappeared. Great find. I noticed in the pics that there seemed to be a silver plane on the hood? What is that and how was it attached?
Congrats on getting a sweet truck. I'll have to keep looking.

Yes my son who is 14 bought it with his money he has been saving, i cant tell if its a bird,plane or whale type creature. Its attached with 3 Datsun style philips head, fine thread screws with lock washers. It looks like a factory or dealer add on. We are super happy with the truck.We got it running and most of the parts we need for it were in a tool box under the seat. We plan on leaving everything the same.

Hey Nathan - Hard to tell from the pics above, I'd need to see a pic that has more than just a sliver of the engine.

What part of town are you in? We'll have to catch up, I'll be starting on my NL320 restoration in the spring.

Hey Nathan,

Nice to see another L320 in the area. I live in Gilbert and have a 65. I have a question, what size is that trailer its on? How does it work with the L320 on it? I have hauled mine on a Uhaul car hauler, but the track width of the 320 is pretty small for the Uhauls.

This is Nathan under a new name. Dale are you pretty familiar with these trucks? I would love to get mine on the road, But am having a difficult time finding a fuel pump and would rather not have to use an electric pump, i live in the east valley and would love to check out your truck and maybe get some info from you or some ideas. The truck is currently at one of my shops on Mckellips and Scottsdale road.
Thanks Nathan Babbitt

I have a variety of Datsun Parts, from a parts store i bought out, some I have identified some I haven't been able to yet, I have multiple lazorite cables but because the company is no longer I can't track the part number. If anyone is interested in anything for a datsun email me and i will see if i have it. I kno i have some carb rebuild kits, some rotors cables and pistons, probably some ring sets and maybe some valves.
