Here's my NL320 that I've had for over 10 years. I started taking parts off of it then, but didn't get any farther with it. Have renewed interest in it now, though.

The bed contains fenders and bumpers from a '64 and '65 L320 that I used to have. I'll have to dig through them and find out what I can and can't use. What I can't use will be posted for sale on this site.

Hi Dahveed,

Thanks for the photo mate. :D Question? Has the vehicle of yours been rust repaired in the past, because looking at the rear wheel arch in the photo looks to been worked on, as it isn't round like it should be or maybe way the shot of the photo? It looks as it touched in the photo in the past. Nice dent though in the side. Good luck with her...?

Keep safe everyone & cruze In datto style........lol Bruns:cool:

Hello,

Yes, the right rear fender has been repaired for rust. They did a poor job.

Since I've had this truck (for more years than I'm willing to admit), it hasn't run. It barely started when I bought it and it sounded like it had thrown a rod. So from that, I know that the engine needs to be replaced or rebuilt. I have an engine from a '64 L320 that will probably go in there when I get serious about this beauty.

One of these days. . .

Hi All,

Dehveed the NL320 has the same motor as your vehicle & it should have id plate on the cabin firewall (at the back of the engine sit's) as to what motor was in yours vehicle originaly & should have the engine number & engine series ( it will say E or L series) number on that plate?  Besides It should be same as your 64 datto 60 hp 1200 cc engine anyway. 65 onwards was a different series 1300cc engine. The L320 or NL320 means left hand drive models & right hand drive models was called N320 as mine is . . .

Keep safe every one & cruze in datto style . . . Bruns:
