Today we're test fitting the Datsun mini truck project for wheels and the engine. In our quest to build the ultimate mini truck, we're building extensions and lowering the cross member to make for room for the engine. We're also mocking the front end up to measure our wheel fitment with one nifty tool that I highly recommend!

This week I'm showing how I'm building custom frame rails to match up with the @FatmanFabrication front end on the 1972 Datsun mini truck! We had to narrow the frame rails to make room for bigger rims and tires so they built us exactly what we needed. Now let's make it all come together!

This week I'm showing how I body dropped this 1972 Datsun in our journey to make it the ultimate mini truck! If it isn't dragging the pavement, it's not low enough! We back halved it and cut out most of the bed floor on CARFIX but now it's time to cut it up even more. We've also cut the top off and are going with a raw edge windshield. This is going to be one bad build! Instagram: www.instagram.com/thehotrodshopms Facebook: www.facebook.com/thehotrodshopms Website: www.thehotrodshopms.com
