Here is my 1966 Datsun MX520.

This truck won the Goodguys Colorado Autocross in 2013.

What do you think?

That's a rad truck. I'm especially digging the wheels and the airdam.

That truck is crazy fast on the auto-x, met Bob at Colorado GG and had a great time yucking it up with him.

I love those Datsun pickups - a friend had one in high school that I would have traded my current truck for in a heart beat. I actually have a picture of a pro-touring style 510 wagon as my laptop wall paper!

That's awesome!! Congrats on the win! I'd love to build a 70's era 4-eyed Datsun or a Chevy LUV truck Pro-Touring style.

Love it. LOVE IT. But Bob3, we need the deets. Pictures are nice, but what's all that fancy sheet metal bolted too, chassis, engine, etc?

Not to step on Bob's toes, but I've been a huge fan of this build as well.

The "deets" are in his build thread here:

I've never seen one before. Essentially a dime with a big-arse trunk?

Very cool!

Based on the times - - - - it looks that that little truck handed out a full-sized ass-whoopin'.

Very Cool

Agreed. I've been in a few Miatas on tracks/autoXing and they are loads of fun. CANNOT imagine what it's like to have that handling wrapped in a Datsun. You are going to embarrass some serious hardware with your truck. Wonderful build thread, it's way outside of my build life style. LOVE IT.
