FINALLY....got the "1984" personalized liscense plate in...and next year,,,around this time,,,I will tag this Nissan as an "antique", just like I did my Yota today. 

I took the mudflaps off my 95 nissan 2wd, cleaned them up, am going to paint the black rivets black, and will white letter the word "NISSAN" on there. Fabricated mounts and will post after the paint dries, and get them mounted.

got the KC Lite covers in.   I believe this little bastard looks BETTER, without the plastic fender skirts on the body that go over the fender wells.   I sanded and painted 1 last night (fender skirt) and got it to look good. Yet, without the skirt, it makes the truck look taller. I owned a brand new 82 back in the day (stock roll-bar with datsun written on it, AND a stock WARN 3000 lb wench) I took the skirts off it to fit a bigger tire, and not rub, and the bigger tires raised my ground clearance by a couple of inches. And, Again, truck looks taller  (more like a 4 wheel drive?)   i guess with skirts off.

SO,,,,tell me ya'lls comments, would like to know different opinions,,,and I'll take that black over-spray paint off the blue rear front 1/4 panel...(see below)

well, there u go,,,

,

I took the fender skirts off,,had some black pieces of rubber trim on the top side,,,

I took off front side of my nissan 2wd,,,1995,,,,mudflaps,,,and will try to fabricate them to conform to the 84.....the hell of - this pic below is,,,underside got sprayed/coated with black rubberized paint,,,look on drivers side paint on door, and in that front 1/4 panel, there is OVERSPRAY from the underneath,,,to where the fender skirts rest.,,...right  in front of running board.2 shots of black on blue, rear skirt looks ok.

found ANOTHER datsun model on ebay,,,that...+ manuals,,,,getting my homework together,,,,Blown head gasket,,,started blowing anti freeze again,,(so,,,stop leak radiator repair worked for a good 2 months,,,passed emissions test)...IE,,white smoke outta tailpipe,,,,so i guess,,,instead of blowing a valve straight into top of piston,,,I guess I'm gonna have to rebuild the little bitch.....SEE YA'LL IN A YEAR !!!!!
