ok well i'm workin on getting my 78 kingcab put together and pulled the canopy off it. hmm wondering what to do with the canopy now, i know i'll put it on my 521. the wheels are turnin now. i've got some shackles to raise the rear, big slotted mag wheels and a 70's style fiberglass canopy.

so plans for it, well here it goes. jack the rear up, run 245/60/r15's in the rear & 235/45/r15's in the front. i've got all the chrome( front and rear split bumpers), 520 door handle pulls and i think there is even a fiberglass sun visor kickin around. so i guess what i'm thinkin is somethin like a lil 70's mini truck stylen hot rod thing. wish i had a picture of what i was thinkin of.

update on the 78k/c.

i picked up a louvered hood for it a couple weekends ago, thanks to mklotz and his friend. the hood has 102 louvers and is very straight. very good deal. also got the louvered filler panel that goes between thetailights. and hopefully picking up the 2 k/cs off of datsunaholic for the center console in the 75 truck he has. been looking for that one for awhile. have the no letter shaved tailgate too. haven't gotten any farther on the body work but the days are getting longer so hopefully soon.
