Datsun 510 ... 4x4?

Boaty · Post by **Boaty** » 10 Dec 2003 21:37

Hey guys.. I was having some dirty thoughts a lil while ago, came up with an idea I bet would actually work!

I wonder how hard it would be to make drop a 2-door.. maybe a 4-door or wagon? ANY 510.. onto a 4x4 chassis and make a 4x4 510????

Hmm... just a thought. I'd like to see some Photoshopped idea's! 'late.

there was such a wagon in our club calendar last year. Perhaps we can get it online...
And as an aside the 2004 club calendars are almost done and I will be bringing them to the xmas party.

You know, for those of us starting to accumulate grey hairs like myself, back in the days of Rex Jennet and the UFO Reports (United Five-Ten Owners for inquiring minds), there was a photo of a wagon or sedan on a slightly shortened Toyota 4x4 chassis. Not a new thought Steve, but I'd like to see one done that wasn't a total hack job!

i wanted to take a 510 wagon, and a 4x4 old school datsun pick up and combine them. only with a VG30 under the hood. id leave it stock wagon height but it would be 4wd

couldn;t do that on account of the 510 has no frame. and trucks have a frame. you'll jack it WAAY up.

i wunder is you could cut out a shell of a wagon and drop in onto a old datsun pickup frame and make it look almost stock....

Maybe I'll just drop my fio body on my gm chassis, imagine tooling around in a fifeten in bulldog low with a 400 smallblock! Bwaaaaa, Bwaaaaaa, Bwaaaaaaaa, Plowing driveways!

Ok.. just on a note.. I have a 4-door that's sitting around here (Secret Locale, stripped and crappy shell!) that I am going to do that to for a little project..
That would kick ass... maybe put it on an old 4x4 Chevy Luv frame?
I don't care how high it would be.. but damnit that would kick ASS! Especially around my place.

I miss being able to hop in the truck and go do some mud-bogging with my brother, or go snow-drift with my dad. KICK ASS!

If anybody has any good pics, or information on how to do all that.. PLEASE FIND IT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
