Sweet! The Idaho one in Bring A Trailer? Awesome. Please post it up in the Projects section and take lots of pictures. Having a paint booth available sure helps a lot. What color are you going to paint it?

Yes better then that one, if you look at the photos, it did not look that nice on the underside.
I have a metal bending and welding in my shop as well also other CNC and laser cutting stuff at my buddys shop ad well. So I think I might make parts I'd needed and maybe to sell depending on parts.

Not sure on color besides it will be blue, any photos of the blue color they used beside the baby blue color?

The first brochure on this page has a blue Patrol. I have never seen this blue in person but it looks nice in the picture.

Here are some early Datsun paint codes to look at:

There was a turquoise blue that was very nice. Not too many of them. My '66 softie was actually that turquoise blue originally. If I ever get to paint it I will paint it that same color.

My '74 FJ40 was the same color or close enough to call it that. I referred to it as baby blue...

Looks like the blue on my 1st Datsun 320 pickup. I loved it and it held up well into the 80's

No this inside color is not the turquoise. The outside color is closer to the turquoise, but the turquoise had more green in it.
