Hello : I have a 720 pickup that has a bed that is very rusted. It has the usual rust spots down the seams on the sides. And on the inisde there are many areas that have completely rusted through. should I just try to buy a bed that is not rusted, or is there a cheaper way to fix all of this rust ?

I have an 83 720 4x4 . I need to replace my compressor. the problem I have is that I ordered one from a used part store online, and the compressor is not the same that is in my truck right now. The one in my truck has the connection to charge the system right on the compressor, but the one they sent me does not have the connection on the compressor. Does anyone know if they made different compressors for an 83 720 pickup ? Or do you think I may have a differnt compressor on the truck ? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I am going to get someone else to look at the truck for me. He is telling me I need new lower ball joints, but I looked at my service records and I replaced them about 5000 miles ago. So I doubt that can be any of the problem.

Do you make parts for a 720 ?????

After all of this time I have finally got my a/c working!!!! I was able to get the hoses/fittings from an internet used partd dealer that was in another state. I got all the hoses I needed with the fittings for around $50 total. We hooked them all up, and added 2 cans or Freon and amazingly everything works. It has been working just fone for about 2 months now. It is amazing what a difference having a/c in your truck will do during the summer. I used to hate driving my truck once it started to get warm. Being that I am in Florida that is pretty much 8-9 months out of the year! I could not believe that all the little parts including the compressor have been woking just fine. Now its time to start working on the body. I really need a new bed. Mine is totally rusted out beyond trying to repair it. unfortunatly here in florida you just can not find a bed for this truck that is not all rusted. so if I want to do it right I am going to have to buy a bed from somewhere out west and have it shipped to me. the shipping alone is going to cost more than the bed will. I have found plenty of almost rust free beds for about $300- $400. too bad the shipping is at least that price too.

On my 720 4x4 king cab I am having a problem which I think is brake related. When I hit the brakes lightly I am getting a terrible bouncing that seems to be coming from the front pasenger wheel, the shaking will start there, but end up shaking everything on the truck even down to the bed. When I hit the brakes harder, the problem pretty much stops. I brought it in to get looked at and I am being told that I need new lower ball joints and a idler arm. I am also being told that I have a broken motor mount. Does this correct or could it possibly be something else ? BTW about 5000 miles ago I completely replaced all 4 brakes including calipers and a master cylinder. Any ideas ? Thanks!

neither have clocks but they do have tachs. What exactly are throtte bodies anyways ?

I have an 83 720 truck. . The instument cluster was a wreck, so I picked up a real nice one off of an 85. I noticed that there are 2 plugs coming put of th bottom of the cluster that are not on my 83' . What are these for ? I notice there is an indicotor light that reads "sensor" . That was not on the 83. Could those plugs have something to do with the sensor light ? Will the instrument cluster still work properly without the 2 plugs not being plgged into anything ? I was ttold that it was compatable, but I was not expecting these 2 plugs to be attached to the cluster. Someone had mentioned to me something about a throttle body sensor. Is this what the plugs are for possibly ?

Does the a/c work on it ?

What does TBI mean ?

I have an 83' 720 series 4x4 and I need a new speedometer cluster. I found one from a 1985 720. Will this one plug right in the same spot without any modifications ?

I bought a pair of fenders already when they were on sale for $25 bucks a side. I have not tried to put them on yet though. Hopefully they wil work.

Has anyone bought their doors for a 720 ? They have brand new doors for a 720 p/u . It is just the shell, but as long as you have your old doors, you can replace your old doors with a brand new sheel, which willbe grand spanking new, comapred to a 25 year ol rusty old door. They are only like $125 a side which is not too bad. the only thing that sucks is the shippping which is truck shipping which costs like $150. I am doing a complete body restoration , so I am seriously considering buying a pairt of these doors, so if anyone has bought a pair, please let me know what you think of the quality compared to the stock ones.

Mine was running way too lean, so instaed of getting a larger jet , my mechanic flip plopped the jets and it fixed the problem, but now it is running way to rich. It seems to be getting way too much gas. It is running great, but I am going through a ton of gasonline now. Before I was getting around 20-22 miles per gallon , now it seems to be getting maybe 10 in the city. It is really bad. I can actaully smell the gas. Probally becuase it is not being burnt. I also took the top off of the card the other day to clean it and I noticed that their was only one butterfly on the double barrell. Isn't there supposed to be a butterfly on each barrel ? I wonder if it was taken off or maybe fell of somehow ? I was going to go with a bigger jet but my mechanic was being lazy and did the switch. I am going to fix it properly now, but my question is about the possibly missing butterfly.

i checked it out. Lots of great info! Thanks!!!

I am trying to find a rust free bed for my 720 pick up. I am restoring mine right now, and my present bed has so much rust , that I have been told that it will cost me alot less money for me to try to find a replacement bed than to try to repair the rust that is on my present bed. I have found a few beds at a few junk yards out west in California and New Mexico, but I would have to ship it all the way to Florida. the cost of he beds I have found are about $400 but the shipping will be about the same price as the bed. Do you gus that do your own body work also think that it is alot easier to just change out a bed compared to trying to fix a bed that is all rusted out ? My bed has all the normal rust spots. The seams going down the sides are rusted, the inside of the bed is rusted completely through in alot of areas where you can see right though the holes. It is basicly in very bad shape. From what I have been told to fix the rust it cost me well into the $1000' just fixing the rust spots. My actualt question is has anyone bought something as large as a pickup bed and had it shipped before and about how much did it cost to have it shipped ?

Thanks for all the responses . I will go up to Napa on monday and see what they can do.

Trust me on this one . I have been on a 6 month quest trying to find these and it has not ben fun!

hey man, I am getting desparate at this point. I have been looking for over 6 months now for these parts!

In my state the insurance companies have to replace your windshied for free if you get it broken for any reason. I know of people that have thrown a rock at it and thern said it happened while driving. This way you will get it done for free. I have not done it, And I wont. I know it is insurance fruad, but people do do it.
