bananahamuck Posted Tuesday at 05:07 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:07 PM (edited) Bought a 82 dump bed 720 from an old friend and it was a total pile of rusted crap BUT i had a 1980 i got in a multi diesel truck buy, i got from one of my neighbors , that Chris "the renter" knew,, that had gotten to old , and was finally letting go of some of his land , and they were on property that he was selling.. It was an 1980 so as anyone that has had a 1980 ,, the hood does not lend itself to being parked for any length of time ,, and as usually happens, engine is solid . The 82 came without engine , and was going to install a low mileage 83 22e i got in a 220sx but Chris "the renter" found a 83 720 in a field that was free, and engine was pretty good so used that.. Dump originally was a 5 speeder but switched it to an automatic to make easier for hired help to drive. The 1980 was so much nicer i switched cabs ,, somehow all three trucks are titled so getting rid of extra parts should be real easy . Put a new master on it but haven't gotten rear wheel adapters off the switch out wheel cylinders so might have to cut off and use 12" wide wheels i have ,, here's a couple pics of progress so far I have had this thing since about July(?) but Juan-ear had to get his 59 1000 done, and it has had it's engine out more in a month than a drift car. Truck in field i used NapZ24 out of Engine getting stripped of its emissions to clean up a tiny bit the hand of doom By the looks of front camber even after motor tranny was installed .. I think the torsion bars seem to be cranked all the way up Please hold Edited Tuesday at 07:22 PM by bananahamuck 2 Quote Link to comment
