I bought this truck off ebay.  It was within 200 miles from my house in Michigan so I had to buy it.  This makes six Datsun 620's that I now own.  This truck has a bone stock L18 only available in 74 with a 4 speed manual transmission.  I drove it alot last fall after I bought it.  I'm currently in the processos of gathering parts to build a crazy LZ motor.  L motors are from 69 to very early 80's and Z motors are from early 80's and up.

 

Here are the ebay pictures and I'll post some new ones when I change things on the truck.

No major rust but lots of small dents.

I didn't know they made blue door pannels, blue steering wheel, and blue seats

Sucky pic of me but this pic shows how bent that bumper is and how dumb I can look

 

Suspect1985's 1974 Datsun 210

First thing I did is change out the Blue Door pannels and blue steering wheel.  Before I drove it home I riped off that stupid steering wheel cover.

I spray painted my louvered hood Flat Black and stuck it on the truck.  I also swaped out the bent bumper with a good one.

These things are cool.  This allows me to put 5 1/2" bolt pattern wheels on a 6 Lug Datsun, Chevy Full Size, or Dodge Dakota.

I got my 18" Rims on, I just put them on 30 min before pic.  I plan to lower the truck soon.

I need to find and replace the turn signal pannel.

 

Suspect1985's 1974 Datsun 210

Putting the Datsun to work, hauled car 50 miles.  Pulls good but drum brakes suck for stopping.

cheers for that Dave, I did consider the rims but am gonna go for moonies and keep with the rat pack look, not tints though, I want whoever is looking at me to see me looking straight back. Nice dato, I guess yours are the same as the L200s and L300s that we get over here? Keep up with it dude, it looks the piece!!
