Hey thanks For droppin in to check out the Datsun. It's a light green 1975 620 Pickup. I purchased it in May for CAN $975. It came with a spare chrome bumper, a replacement grill, a set of single wheels and a pair of duallie wheels and an ugly ass white canopy. I think its been upgraded to a 3/4 ton in the rear because the rear springs are rock solid for such a light truck and it takes 4 times more weight than any of my friends vehicles to make it drop the same distance. Its a nuisance (and a back breaker) goin over speed bumbs and shit like that. The interior is completely gutted. There is no carpet, a crappy headliner, shitty door panels, no stereo, just seats, gauges, the dash and a shifter and not much more. I plan to lower the front till the tops of the tires are the same height as the wheel well lip (about 2 1/2 to 3 inches front, 5 1/2" rear) It has a pretty radical and cool lookin sport rake like the old skool 80's Datsun minitruckers used to have and it suits the truck pretty good, but it's probly not gonna stay anymore when i lower it, maybe just a bit. Then I plan to paint it Flat Black like early hot rods with red and chrome wheels much like a Gennie, and white wall tires.Im goin to sand it right down to the bare metal, primer the whole thing, and spray the colour. It should look better that your typical repaint (think Maaco) at probably about half the cost. Plus I get the glory of doing it myself, plus i can control the quality. I will be posting pictures soon, of how it was when i got it, how it is now and then photos of my progress.
