Re: 1970 datsun 521
The factory tubs with 4 hooks are SWB and 5 hook tubs are LWB. My SWB and friends LWB. I think the extra length is in front of the rear wheels as where there is 3 hooks in the LWB I only have 2 in the SWB. It's hard to see the hooks on mine due to the tarp. Have you thought of getting one from here in AUS? Older MG and Austin performance parts fit the J series engines also. I have twin SU's and a set of headers going on mine.

I would be keen on importing one from aussie, i havent really looked into the availability of them though. Do you know of any tubs that are for sale?
I reckon id prefer to have a SWB version, they look more in proportion.
Your ute looks awesome, what are the plans for that one?
