i got this bad boy for $700. I want to restore this truck for weekend and summer cruising. This is also going to be a truck for my son when he gets his license.

Nice truck . Very cool. I see you swapped in an L16. J series are cool too, I found out you could had used a british MGB series "B" engine "Cross Flow" cylinder head. All parts for the MGB cars , that is performance parts fit this "J" series Datsun engine, because the series "J" ( Datsun ) and the "B" ( MGB ) engines were developed by both companies at the same time. Nissan improved the engine performance, but MGB built a cross flow cylinder head. There are headers and performance intake manifolds for the "B" series that perfectly fit the "J" series. Anyways, you have a nice truck, very cool. I love the black wheels, my favorite color for wheels.

That is a VERY nice Datsun! I have been looking for something like that for years, and they are usually so rusted out they are beyond repair! I'm jealous, keep up the good work with it!

That is one clean project 521. That is a truly great find. I'd like to invite you to join my Old-School Japan Group which is a new section in CarDomain at http://groups.cardomain.com/groups/10029/pages/10040.
