I'm glad you got your welder working! I have an 85 720 but I'm not lowering it at all. On the other hand it's got a Datsun 240z inline 6 in it now lmao. I've just been burning everything in with a farmhand 110 and flux core. 2 more welds and the exhaust is done, then the upper core support is going back in. It's crazy how much more room your frame has to work with. I had a hell of a time running radiator lines and my exhaust down through it.
Sweet man! I couldn’t imagine trying to fit an inline 6 into one of these engine bays though 🤣
@@Rusty.Datsun I talked with a guy who did and he moved the engine back a few inches. I didn't want to cut the firewall in my 720 so I just moved the radiator to the bed😂 it'd arguably be easier in a 620 caz you don't need to mod your transmission. I'd love to see you do this swap in your camper! You're definitely capable.
Thanks man! I’ve really been looking into the KA24de swap for the camper just cause it seems like such an easy swap for these trucks
Won't lie a ka would be easier in a lot of ways and makes roughly the same power as my L24. I got a lot of flak for not doing a ka swap myself. I could guarantee your comment section would be on fire if you did what I did lmao 🤣
They’ll be okay 🙄 I don’t think they realize that I own the cars and I’d much rather put them to use then let them sit for eternity like they were
I have a 77 f10 available if interested
Where at and how much?
?
Just PLEASE DON'T lower this beautiful looking truck to the ground and put those ugly wagon wheels and thin tires on it, you'll ruin the looks of it.
Too late, looks better on the ground!
a real big fan of the cooking video, i think you need to leave the car life go to just cooking
Maybe you can teach me like you taught me in the video
@ you know i can cook
I guessing that you have the L20b engine . You mentioned that it didn’t have any power going up the hills. I’m curious, what cylinder head casting does it have? The casting is near the No 1 spark plug. There’s some low compression heads out there that have low power. We’re building an L20b with a u67 closed chamber head . I’m tempted to put 280zx pistons in it to bring it over 10:1 compression. With doing that and the Weber carb I’m hoping for close to 130 hp , stock is realistically around 100 on a good day.
Yes, both trucks have w58 heads. The silver truck does great in the mountains, no bogging down. I think the rv weighs too much to not bog down, combined with that it probably needs a rebuild because I can’t get it to run 100% like the silver truck
😊
Later Dudes
Obsessed with this project ⭐️ sending love from my '78
Thank you! Absolutely love this truck and daily drive it
BEATIFUL DATSUN 😍
DATSUN J 15 THE POWER YO TENGO UNA DATSUN 77 SALUDOS CARROS MJ TH-cam 🇨🇷🖐️
Sweeeeet... They both runnin Great!!🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🤙🔧🛠️🔧Be blessed🙏🙏
Thank you!
eBay for them split bumpers
You should look for split back bumpers for the king cab other then that dope a** truck one my favorite besides a 69 510 sadan and wagon ❤
Like bumperettes? I think I know what you’re talking about. I do have a big chrome one piece bumper that I might put on it to pull a small boat with
Way to go my dudes cool to see you putting it to use.
Thank you! I definitely plan on using it more often. Just gotta work on the kinks with the engine bay and eventually full on restore it
I use to live in Florence south Carolina.
👍🏻👍🏻 nice hopefully y'all had a great trip to Buc-ee's and the beach of course are you going to eventually paint the truck to match the RV one of the colors on the camper? I love that extended cab truck as well that is awesome
Yes! Plan on painting it. But I do want to fix all of the rust before we paint it. It needs a whole lot of new metal
maybe get a mr buddy propane heater for off grid camping...this camper is perfect for small everyday adventures life is short so small adventures are valuable as gold
I have one of those but I’m really worried about carbon monoxide poisoning. Trying to find a way to safely heat it if we ever do some off grid stuff
cant wait to see this thing slay the dragon
Fixing exhaust leak’s now and contemplating buying steering stuff so it drives correctly. Steering is so sloppy right now, that I’d fly off the dragon
spoiler alert he crashed it or did he uwu
Do it in a Datsun !!
Sounds like both trucks ran like champs!
They did pretty good, neither broke down 🤣
A guy in my area has a chinook trailer. Every time I try to stop and talk to him he closed. I’m wanting to see it so bad but he closes early. It is just sitting in front of his gagare store looks like rough shape but heck it’s a chinook camper trailer. The same as you have I guess it was converter to be a trailer. I might do a video on it
Do it! Mines a Galavan but the Chinook’s are cool, their roofs pop-up unlike mine
@@Rusty.Datsun yeah I keep looking at that one. I want to stop and see it.
I am so so so proud of you. Thank you for doing this for us and for a great vacation. I love you!
❤️
Loving this build! Got any space for a mini wood burning stove?
I don’t think so, as I’m a little worried about carbon monoxide. But I think we’re going to get a mini space heater for this winter then worry about ac when spring rolls around again
Penny woodburning stove would be good. They make really really small ones. I don't remember what website they're on. But I mean, they're like really, really small. You put one small piece of wood in it and it'll burn for hours if you get the hole in the roof and everything done right then yeah, that would work I don't see why you wouldn't have room for it. I mean, it's really, really small.
great interior! but you should cut your hair. you look like a druggy shaggy. no hate! Love how it’s coming along! Good luck!
Cameron 🙄
@@Rusty.Datsun i love you.
Inverters suck your batteries down quickly without the batteries being charged concurrently with beyond adequate solar or alternator providing DC juice.
Will be fine, when we go camping it’ll be plugged into shore power. We don’t plan on doing any off grid camping anytime soon
Looks wicked dude
Thank you man!
Your camper looks great, keep up the good work!! I totally dove headfirst into the whole Nomadic Living rabbit hole back in 2020, during the 'dark times' and bought a 30 ft GulfStream RV for my 4 kids and me to live/travel in. Now I'm renovating it but it's a lot harder than it looks in all the videos I've watched lol so it's taking longer than expected, but I'll get there. Watching videos like these is good inspiration for me so thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for watching and good luck in your endeavors. And you’ll get there, it all just takes time and patience lol
What happened with the Chinook?
Was way over my head with it and couldn’t find a long bed truck that I liked. So I sold the chinook camper to someone so that I could fund this rv
Camper is looking good. With the walls up!
Thank you!
At least you can never get a ticket for driving without a license plate.
I’m not even sure if the old Ohio plate will come off without breaking the mounting bracket lol. I really need to get this thing registered in my state soon
Son you should have replaced the entire floor in the cab.
It’ll be fine for now
Amazing job! You've really made a ton of progress. Looking forward to the interior fit out.
Tune into next video. I’ve got so much interior work done that’s not in this episode
If you want cheap floor material, find a scrap washer or dryer. The older the better as the metal is thicker. You can slice for corners and form them with a hammer and the enamel paint resists rust pretty well. Best part is they are usually free. 😂. I typically will use that and a tube of marine grade adhesive caulk with some self tappers. Beats trying to patch with a bunch of license plates IMHO.
That’s some good advice, I gotta remember that for the next rusty project
you are going to need some type of ventilation you build up both heat and moisture
I’ve got the little side vent that I still need to cut out. But I’ve also got the windows in the cab that I can roll down as well
@@Rusty.Datsun i lived in a camper for a year...you will need ventilation and you want to keep bugs out when getting the ventilation you want airflow
Hmm okay, I will figure something out
Looks like mine that went missing about a year ago lol I got it back lol for sell if interested with title
Really? I’m very interested
I would be interested as well
@@Rusty.Datsun I have an F10 with the same color but my color code is worn. Do you know what the color is called or have the code? thanks
I’m not sure, let me see if I can figure it out
?
Have you thought of overlaying the hole with fiberglass sheets and then re-cutting it to the proper dimensions?
I need to but I really don’t know how to
Looking forward to this series! Love seeing these old Datsun RVs put back on the road!!!
Thanks for the support!
very cool RV
Thank you!!
Looks good so far
Thank you!
Do it in a Datsun
Could you put a sun roof instead of a roof vent?
I’ve got a skylight that just showed up, going to seal it up and screw it in. Some natural sunlight from the roof but no vent
nice! keep plugging along...cant wait for you to try camping in it!
Thank you so much!
Used engine oil good for waterproofing wood and its free
Maybe pressure treated plywood?
Wow. You have come so far along. I too can only watch your progress on TH-cam. Keep up the good work.
All good! Thank you so much for the support! Can’t wait to have this thing on the road!
check the local junkyard for cheaper tires
Oops, too late lol. I already bought all 6, just need to get the wheels painted so I can mount them all
@@Rusty.Datsun yeah but its not the last rusty wreck of a car you buy :)
Very true lol
You could build the floor from marine plywood. That´s what they use in boats.
May consider that
I don't have Instagram good luck with the build.
All good man!
I’m looking 👀 to find one of these
They’re so cool, always seeing Toyotas but never Datsuns
I want one of those boxes so bad haha
I sold this one like 2-3 months ago. They pop up on marketplace every once in a while
