Saved From The Junkyard - Vintage Datsun 521 Pickup - Will it run and drive? 

Loved the older Datsun had a few of them 1966 to 76

I just realized I had on my Motorized Wheelbarrow shirt but I got some popcorn & took it off to watch this. As what to do with the little truck, I would use it as a Wheelbarrow around the homestead & a mobile work bench/tool truck. Add a hydraulic lift to the back to lift stuff in & out of the bed. You can always turn it into a party mobile just add a grill/smoker & coolers. Portable sink would by nice & don’t forget your tunes to entertain your guests. It would be a shame to just leave it parked just for parts. You can still take parts off when you need them. Be cool to have the kids paint it.

Beautiful truck

521😻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼good work sir. -Pidge

Love the "racing applications" 🏁

Patience, love it

Mad scientist under the hood. Still waiting on the rebirth of the firebird.✌️

Great video on the Datsun 521 series. As you know, I've got 2 of them having one for almost 45 yrs enjoying them still at 64. Extremely, reliable and dependable rigs. Too bad the mini trucks are not made anymore... Keep your videos coming!!

When I took my carb off my 521 there was a cardboard gasket made from a Rice a Roni box under it.

I STILL love this little girl. With time and a lot of patience, not only will this little girl come back to life again engine wise, with a little extra work and messin around, bet ya by golly wow, fixing the floor boards welding in replacement sheet metal along with whatever else can be needed, it will once again, see the streets as a whole new, rebuilt nice little truck to nock around Murfreesboro Tennessee with, along with giving it a whole new paint job, you'll be all set!

Beautiful carb

So nice!!!

I wanna see much much MORE! I love this little 521 series truck.

Awesome

It's February of 2024 now. Any nees as to what your doing with this little truck now? Sure would like to see an update on it.

Little pin and then you push out

How’d you fix the heater hose

Please fix it up. Keep the budget under $500 and you have yourself a 1000% better truck than I do (I don't have a truck yet).

I hate when my fender falls off!

Would you say that new carburetor performs better than stock or around the same?

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!

L-1500 No such thing.
