I have already purchased the donor car. It is a 1969 Datsun Pickup L521.
This is the kit that Electro Automotive sells that has the motor I like.

Battery Pack:
18 - 6V batteries from US Battery. Haven't decided on the model yet, but probably the best cost/AH deal.
I haven’t decided on whether or not to use the bed for the batteries or to construct a special steel cage for them. Either way, I would love to have some solar panels on the bed. If I put on PVCs, they will have to be custom made.
