i bought a 72 datsun pickup and wondered a couple things about it.

 

Dogs love small trucks.

I don't know anything about them, but I love late 60's/early 70's Toyota and Datson pickups. Got any pictures?

My dad had a '73 Hilux he bought brand new. He sold it to my uncle many years back. Now it's just rotting in Fairplay. In a few years when we have a larger house and the space, I'm going to make an offer to snag that truck, restore it and make it a daily driver.

 

I used to have a 76 pickup, what did you want to know?

I know that most datsuns will fit under my TOY 4X4 as i drive over them from brake checking me.

 

Good quote. Nothing else needs to be said!

*edit* As an added bonus, Renault is partnered with Nissan now. If you don't know what this means, ask any automotive technician who's been around a while about Renault. I wouldn't buy parts from the dealer anymore. The low quality will undoubtedly go down. Advance would be a better bet.

 

well the truck has the L16 engine in it. i got a head that is from a L20B motor. it looks exactly the same to me. would it work? its kinda like the 20r-22r head swap i guess. another this is does anyone know where i can get parts for it? its hard to come by here in michigan. they rusted away so bad.

 

yes. all 4cyl L-seies heads swap. the L20b will have a bigger stock cam.
look on the plug side, there will be a casting# A87, U67...
