herculesinwyoming Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I have a 620 longbed project going right now, and budget is tight. I was offered a good deal on this 720 (free) it has the l20b and looks to be rust free except for the battery tray, someone gave it a god awefull paint job, it burns oil but runs. it would be a little over 300 mile round trip to go and haul it home. I am just not sure what i would do with it. right now all i can think of is the seats, the electronic distributor and the barnd new starter would be nice to have, i doubt the 4x4 5 speed tranny would swap to my 620.

lil89ram50 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 i think it would be beneficial to get it. probably part it out to get the money back for gas on a few items Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Free...I would be all over that. Seats look good...rims okay....lots of parts By looking at the console...I can tell it's a long tail trannie...30.5 inches Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 If someone said that to me the pictures would be of the damn thing in my yard. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 AND is Sealik an actual person because how could one person know so much about 720 trucks I am thinking he was invented by the Canadian goverment in some experiment gone terribly wrong Quote Link to comment
lil89ram50 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 i think the pics shown are his project. he says he has a project 620 4x4, and is being given a 720 4x4 free. the pics he shows is a 620, i believe is his project Quote Link to comment

You do realize you have now been 'flagged' by the Canadian Government with that comment???? Get out while you can... :hyper: ....the Mounties are coming!!! :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Don't taze me bro!!! Yeah the tranny will bolt in but is no good on a 2wd 620 because there is no speedo pinion in the 4x4 tailstock... it's in the transfer case. If you have a 4x4 620 project in mind this is perfect for parts or just swap your motor, short cab and long bed onto this long frame. You will need to move the two front bed mounts about 8 inches forward on the frame. Quote Link to comment
herculesinwyoming Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 i didnt say i was building a 4x4 620, you guys dont read too well, oh yeah west coast school system. that truck is at the railraod depot i end up at when i leave town for work, i will see if the offer still stands, i just want to use it as a prats rig, or maybe fix it and keep it going, its really not as bad as it looks, Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 If you have a 4x4 620 project in mind this is perfect for parts or ... Before I posted I reread the post twice and saw no mention of a 4x4 620 but assumed that Lill89ram50 knew something I didn't. '804x4 parts you could use in your 76620... Looks like the rad will swap. Rear axle and everything in it. EI dizzy Carb. The intake/exhaust manifolds and head can be swapped if all done together. Water pump, oil pump and anything L20B specific except the oil pan. Alternator (you will have to convert to internal regulator, hardly worth it for 35 amp) Quote Link to comment

lil89ram50 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 you did not say it was a 4x4, although i "figured" it was as you wanted to swap in a 4x4 trans. and that it is jacked up pretty high. sorry for that asumption also, but i guess i was only haf wrong now wasnt i? lol Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Possible free 4X4 720 It`s in the title Quote Link to comment

poopypants720 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 its burning oil real bad, but it does run i could care less... I want just the top end...300 bucks for nothin but some wrenchin and packaging it is a steal! Im sure you could pull a head and manifolds, right? Ive been personally lookin for a good parts truck like that with an L20b and there just aint none out here, people are either still driving theirs and wont let it go or its been turned to scrap! what kind of condition is the bed in as well?

poopypants720 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 holy crap! those tail lights are in perfect condition! (i want em!) I gotta ask, whats stopping you from gettin the truck right now? if it only burns a lil oil then thats no problem at all, especially if you can get it for free. shoot id pay at least 600 for that very truck for the parts alone! wish i lived closer.
