Had some bad luck at the shop yesterday, so we just cut the whole cab floor out and mocked up some tabs to do the BD and see where it will all lay. After HAVOC, gonna do a whole new cab floor and tunnel and sheet metal entire bed. Anyways, slapped a door and fender on to get a feel of things, still a lot to do in one week...

Is the rear of the bed drooping or is that an optical illusion I'm getting?

I would deff beef up those upper control arm mounts. Factory datsun welds are shit, and seaparate very easy. From the looks of the pics you have, it looks like you took a bunch of struture out, and didnt add much back.

On my 521, i cut the original mount off, and built a new one on the inside of the arm. This allows camber adjustment for riding much lower than stock, seeing as at my ride height the original mounts left me 6 degrees negative.



Looks good man!!! Hope to see more progress soon!

the back does droop a little... but its just cuz it has no bracing yet or bed mounts, hopefully lol
