My 78 Datsun truck

[Bandit240]

AS some of yall know or remeber i had a 83 Sentra that i traded for a 78 Datsun truck. Well after 2 months of it sitting in the yard doing nothing, it getting fixed. Going to swap out the trannys this week sometime. Its been painted roll bars installed and S13 seats installed

Heres the before and after pics of it.

Heres the S13 seats in it

Haveing a little fun in the back yard with 1st/2nd/R only

wow i like it, the front is very 510ish in my opinion (thats a good thing). I want one!

also, is there any engine swaps you have been concidering for that? (KA24DE :ylsuper )

[Bandit240]

No swaps anytime soon. The L20B motor sounds like shes new. ODO reads 30,298 but i think its well past its limits. Maybe a SR20DET if i can find a non-rusted cab and bed. The truck is a 78 Datsun HL620. Can anyone tell me whats the difference between a PL and HL truck? all i can think of is Passanger and Heavy models.

Not a bad buy for $100 and a half running Sentra(hated giving it up, frist car thing......you all get it)

that's a sweet truck. my friend has an 83 datsun pickup. I wanna drop in a vg30 in it, make a badass sleeper.

[lessthanjakejohn]

sweet. Is it live axle in the front, and in the back?

the odo, probaly means 138 or 238 k miles lol

[Bandit240]

Its a 2WD truck. And i know the odo has gone over a few times.......wouldnt suprise me if it has338k or more

AHHHHHH Oh my GOD ! !

I had a 78 Datsun truck too. My dad gave it to me when i turned 16. I thought I was the only one. Mine was a yellow king cab with "LIL HUSTLER" written on the rear quarter panel. Its good to see one still being loved. I sold it and bought an 82 280ZX and then my 91 240sx. Yes I am a Nissan kinda guy.

Ive been thinking. Think a 240SX fastback would fit on the frame? Ive got a spare 240SX and the bed/cab are rusty as hell. HL240!

That would look soooooo awsome, keep the front and from the A pillars back a 240 hatch, that would look awsome and be totally unique.

Although i would imagine you would have problems with the 240 being a unibody

[Bandit240]

Not really.......just take the whole unibody and set it on the frame. Make mounting points for it.
