[Roadsters] OT - 1969 datsun pickup on craigslist

[David Patten]

To add to Ronnie's info the L16 powered 521 had 4.375 rear gears. The
earlier 520 & 320 trucks had 4.875 gears.

These were all alloy center sections H190 rears like the Roadster, but the
trucks use a different spline axle so they are not a direct swap.

If you change side gears to the correct spline the P/U center can be
swapped into a Roadster (or 510 wagon).

Here is a link to a post I did on the Ratsun message board detailing the
side gear swap. (sorry the pictures appear to be down).

Also check out the video links at the bottom of my initial post. These were
done by Mike Klotz and are extremely informative.
