New from Central Canada,Future Big Block V8 Swap

Hey all, Name is Morgan, am 26. Love old jap trucks, had a datsun 521 pickup I was going to fix up but sold. Was at a farm last year and saw an old B1800, not sure what year, owner seems to think its either a 73 or 76. Bought it over the phone for $50, plan on putting a V8 in it. Anyone on here swap an old B1800 to a v8? I have a Caddy 500c.i. from a Fleetwood, weighs inbetween a small block and big block and is physically in between the two sizes, so should not be a hard task.

Sounds sick! Got any pictures?

No pics yet, maybe will go for a drive to see it and take pics this weekend, only ten mins from my farm. Here is my old Datsun I was working on, I saved the Chevy rally rims, will be using them on the Mazda



If I paint them, what color should I go with?

Awesome! Are they the wide 4x4 ones?
You should paint em white

Ya man they are 8.5 Inches wide I remember, will take some ether to seat the beads on the skinny little tires I am gonna run, I don't know why but I love the stretched look, ya I was thinking white too!

Slammed with stretched is always cool! Here's a little inspiration...


Thanks for the compliments on my truck by the way!

Going to take a look in a hour and take pics, those rims painted white look awesome!

She is a beautiful 1972 B1600!
