i have a 82 datsun truck and the window crank has broke and i want to replace it but i dont know how to get it off most trucks i have worked on you would push the panel in a little bit and take a piece of wire and pull a little clip off and it would slide off but this truck does not have no play in the panel and it dont have no screw holding the knob on what do i do]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:55:11 +0000 http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5531&PID=56611#56611 Trucks : finding a new bed http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5517&PID=56610#56610 Author: rivrfox

I had the same cam/motor combo in my 510 for a while...had EXACTLY the same experience. Motor pinged like mad if you get on it anywhere low in the rpm range, but lots of torque, and really got good from 4000-6300K.]]> Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:59:16 +0000 http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5522&PID=56609#56609 Trucks : New to forums; and a brake question.. http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5530&PID=56608#56608 Author: mklotz70

You can download the factory manual at www.olddat.com

On the front, there's definitely a front shoe and a rear shoe.  On the rear brakes, both shoes should be the same.

I totally rebuilt/replaced all brake components on my '66 520. It started to pull hard right when I applied the brakes when cold. Pulled off the front drums, all looked ok. Got to the point where I was fearful to drive it. Pulled the front drums again and found the shoes on the right side were not installed like the left. Repositioned the right shoes like the left and now braking is perfect!]]> Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:42:33 +0000 http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5530&PID=56607#56607 Projects : The Purple Haze http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4286&PID=56606#56606 Author: brooke

You'll search a lot faster if you use google's advanced search and put nwde.org in the site info.

You can also go to http://forum.ratsun.net and do a search...tons of info on both sites, but ratsun has the most current.  I think the info I posted on ratsun about the brakes on my NL is the most recent brake work.

There's a couple of ways to put discs on the rig, but no easy OEM swap.  The spindles are quite different.  The drum trucks had kingpins and the disc ones had ball joints.

well i dont know much about brakes in general but here are a few tip i do know;
1: they are drum brakes and have to be adjusted manualy
2: even though i payed 1500 for new brakes all around, the front brakes STILL locked up a fraction of a second apart, new brakes and all.
3: i have heard that air in the brake line may cause them to act unpredictable.
my  $ .02
hope this helps
