Hi everyone, took a bit of patience on Ken's part, but I'm now officially on the site. Thanks Ken, thanks Mike K for pointing me to the site in the first place.
My dad has several of these trucks and is trying to gauge interest in selling and/or parting them.
I have about 200 photos of these trucks, and just decided to list links for each of the albums here. I'll add more photos as I try to get one of the 320's and the 521 roadworthy. Some of you are probably members on another forum where I've already posted most of this.
Dad lives near the Oregon coast and had two of the trucks stored inland here to keep them away from the salt air (the 320 and 521 mentioned above). He lost his storage so they are now at my place. He asked me to try to get them put back together enough to drive and/or sell.
This all started by my asking if he had a pickup I could borrow...lol..be careful what you ask for, right?
A quick breakdown:
- '64 L, complete, E1 is in the bed- '70 521 (early), mostly complete, been sort of vandalized and is missing lots of little bits.- '63 L, complete, no bed- '64 L, no engine, 510 or B210 4 lug rear- '64 NL, complete, driver, windshield out (he has one in storage for it.
Here are the links, in the order I listed them above. Enjoy!
I realize some of you may not be interested in shuffling through 200 photos, so I've included a shot of each rig also...

I've also got two 18 gal totes full of parts with these, and Dad has at least one or two of pretty much everything at his place. I know he has one windshield for the NL (it's not for sale), and one starter each for the L's that have an engine. Outside of that, I'll have to ask him what's what.
I'll need some parts for the 521. Closer is better, I'm just outside of Eugene, OR.

L320 Update
Well, I decided today to work on one of these trucks, either the 521 or the 320, and the 320 won. It's much more intact and complete.
I'm not sure who removed the engine, but either they are a better mechanic than I, or they put parts back on once the engine was removed. I had to pull both motor mounts to get the engine reinstalled. One was still in the truck, the other on the engine.
I used a synthetic buffer wheel on the trans input shaft, and cleaned up the bearing faces a little bit. The clutch fork was a bit sticky, but thankfully moved back as I got the engine in place. I could only find 4 sets of bellhousing nuts and bolts, but I put them sort of at four corners to suck it all together.
The master cylinder has a crystaline sort of chunky white residue in it, I haven't managed get the cover off the brake reservoir yet, I don't have any soft grip pliers, so it's just soaking now in PB Blaster.
The distributor cap was off, and the dizzy is a corroded mess. The oil pan has oozing blue RTV all around the edges, which I didn't notice until after I'd finally got it set in and mated to the trans.
Anyway, it's mostly back together. It looks like dad had two E1 engines at one point. In one of his parts bins is an oil pan filled with lifters, push rods, a busted rod and cap and several half dollar sized pieces of aluminum chunks. I was able to find a couple of sets of nuts and bolts there for the trans. The valve cover that was sitting on the engine wasn't the correct one. It's stamped NISSAN, but I've no idea which engine it's for. It's the right length, but the holes for mounting it are in the wrong places, it's tapered a bit and won't clear the rocker arms. I'll try to get a photo, it might be for the 521. The right one was in the bin though, so that made me really happy. I also found another distributor, and another set of motor mounts. I haven't matched the distributor to the one on the truck yet, but it looks to be in much better shape.
A bit suprised to see the site moved, I'm sure there were reasons. Thanks AZHitman for providing the forum.
Which blue 320 were you interested in?
