Got this one from a nice guy in Montana.  Live in PA(the rust belt) and havent seen a 521 around here in twenty years.  Always wanted one and this one is rust free but typical of montana trucks is beat up.  Originally red and mostly complete and original exept for the big hole cut in the dash for a radio.  Luckily its complete cause theres no parts here on the east coast.

Nice to see a 521 this side of the mississippi! I have a 71 521 and I am up in MA so I TOTALLY hear you on the lack of parts. It is like a Datsun appocolypse happened here!

Yeah I live in Colorado, and I know what you mean there was a Datsun Apocalypse here. I got mine from a nice gentleman who beat the crap out of it since it was new when he was a teenager. I'm sure it spent a few years in a lake too. It's now getting a little love and is completely dismantled and awaiting restoration.
