No answer to your question but haven't seen a 720 around in years. Is it the Kingcab 4x4? My first fourby.

Mine to,but single cab!
The motor was meant to be a 180b engine. Was a good thing apart from the drive shafts

Yeah Mick, 720 kingcab, but 2 wheel drive! very gutless! your in 3rd gear just to get to 60k's then 4th and 5th just get you to the 110k's. I'm in Ballarat and seen 1 identical at Daylesford yesterday, but that probably says it all, farm utes belong in the country!

Yeah imagine that L18 motor pushing the weight of the 4by lol. Did a few miles in that beast. I actually had the 2 wheel drive version first, then bought the first of the 4by's in Nov 1983. It cost me $10 grand from memory and ten years later they gave me $10 grand for it trade in on a Toyota station wagon valued at $19K. Don't see that happening much these days!
