Thanks Matt!! This will really help me out, I've got some Datsun 411, 510, and roadster parts that I need to figure out what they fit.

Thanks for the link. Good info there.

r1lark where are you at in NC? I'm in Burnsville in western NC.

Hi mtn, I'm in Winston-Salem.

Well, Paul, that makes you the closest Patroler that I know of. Do you know of anyone with a Patrol over here in the mountains?

Jon, I sure don't. In fact, I don't know of any other Patrol owners in NC........except now you.

Maybe some other Patrol owners in NC will chime in. There was another Patrol here in Winston-Salem, but I didn't know about it until it was sold. Another forum member bought it, but does not live in NC.

That was quite a find by Mark!

Have you ever been to the Charlotte Motor Speedway AutoFair (http://www.charlotte-autofair.com/)? I went over last year. It is quite the display of cars. Do you think anyone will be there selling Patrol parts?

Oh yes, many many times ........going back to when it first started. While there may be a few generic Patrol parts there, the issue would be the time/effort spent in finding them. I've walked the whole thing over 4 days in the past looking for Studebaker parts (which are not very plentiful there either) but Patrol parts would be a needle in the haystack! In the early years, there would be a number of good finds for bargain prices even for Studebaker parts, but those finds are mostly in the past now. Used to be large lots of NOS replacement parts (Moog, TRW, Delco, etc) that you could get some good deals if you knew the part numbers for your particular cars, but have not seen that for years. Costs to park and get in have gone way up, to the extent that I don't go much any more. To be honest, unless you are looking for mainstream Ford/Chevy/Mopar parts, or wanted to buy from the big vendors, you will be time and money ahead to look on the internet instead of going to Charlotte.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
