New member, lots of Datsuns

[DanielC]

I found this site last night, Happy new year, 2007.  I have three Datsuns, all PL521, and with body damage, sorry.  One is a parts truck, and is apart.  One is sitting with front end damage, it has a rear axle from a 1300 520 in it, 4.87 axle ratio, the PL521 have a 4.375 axle ratio, I think.  The third I drove most recently, it has an L-18 motor in it, and a 5-speed transmission.  I have the nissan service manuals for these vehicles.  "Datsun Pickup  Model 521 series Chassis and Body"  "Model L13, L16 & L20 Engine"  "Emission control system  1970-1971"  Three competition parts manuals  One with a 1978 price list, one with a 1983 price list, and one from 1987.  I also have a 1973 edition of "how to modify Datsun 510 610 240Z engines & chassis, a 1986 How to rebuild your Nissan/Datsun OHC engine.  I think I need to bring at least one of these back to life

    Hey, I joined around the new year.  We were all busy or something.  Thanks.
    I do not have a digital camera, so I have to use film, fill the roll, get it developed, and then post pictures. 
    I plan on getting one truck running again soon, see "get it running again".  I could get another truck running fairly easily, I think, but I am going to have to start finding sheet metal.  Unfortuneately, all three trucks have body damage.
    I really do not plan on selling anything, it is nice having the parts when I need them.  I might be interested in trading parts I have for useable sheet metal.
