1971 Datsun 521 pickup truck for sale, LHD Californian import. Rear wheel drive. SOLD
I've owned this truck since just after it was imported, two and a half years ago. Original paint, with patina and a few dents and dings, but straight and never welded anywhere. Only the wings have been replaced, by the last owner in the USA. Only a few in the country, they were never produced for the uk market. Service parts, engine parts, other bits, readily available in the States via Rock Auto etc.
I've lowered the truck, using 3" blocks on the rear, and reindexing the torsion bar front suspension. Just fitted new KYB performance shocks on the front and back. Wheels are old school genuine Wolfrace slot mags, 6 stud, with painted centres in 'ford Roman bronze'. It will also come with the 5 original Datsun steels and hubcaps. It runs the original drum brakes all round, they are 10" and stop it well.
Engine and gearbox were upgraded and replaced at 94180 miles, current mileage is just over 97k but truck is still in use, just over a year ago. Now has a 5 speed FS5W71B manual gearbox, instead of the stock 4 speed. The stock L16 engine has been replaced by an L20b, a later 2 litre engine of the same straight 4 family.
The L20b has been fully rebuilt, skimmed and balanced, and 2mm overbored cylinders. Pistons are 'off the shelf' 1mm oversize 280z. Rebuild work was carried out professionally.
A brand new 32/36 progressive Weber carburettor was also fitted, with the intake manifold ported to it.
Bench seat was reupholstered just before it was imported, Grant steering wheel fitted, tacho on the steering column. I layed SilentCoat sound/vibration deadening before carpeting the cab.
It won't come with the suichuuka shift knob.
MOT until December 2016. Free tax.
