I know this is an old post so if you have your part sorry to bring it up. The 80 was, as you know, was the first year for the 720. It was also a "split" year meaning the first half of 80 the L motor was used then the last half of the production year they went to the NAP-Z drive train. This does effect the T-case and other parts as being one-year-only.

Living in California for 20 plus years, i rarely saw a 720 4x4 especially an '80. My suggestion would be to contact a wrecking yard in Montana, Idaho etc. this should prove more successful in your search. I currently live in Spokane, WA about 30 min from the Northern Idaho Border. In Spokane we have a very large yard by the name of Spaldings (http://www.spaldings.com/). They also have a Japanese only yard as well. this help you in your search.

Good Luck!
