Heres a surprise. Kingpins. Get familiar with that little term. Datsun had some interesting ideas back in the day...I'mma assume you want to bag that 70 model. You'll need to flip those kingpins(probably),remove those torsions,trim the bumpstop mounts(me thinks), and I think the front crossmember might lay out. Then again,I haven't bagged mine yet and won't be using the factory stuff. I'm swapping my front suspension for hardbody or toyota components, if not the entire front frame clip. I'd asked around over at Nissanminis.com though. Layed521 is layin' frame in the front I think. Hit him up.
