So this is my '72 Pick up. It still needs a lot of work but it's a pretty bad a** little truck if I do say so myself. It's got a L20b, duel 44mm Mikuni's, shorty header, electronic ignition, stock 4:38s, and a ZX 5 speed. Future plans are to restore the interior; add racing seats, 4 wheel disk brakes (Thanks Brandon!), different rims, and of course an LSD.
Here's a few pictures of the "Hot Rod" and my boyfriend bad a** Wagon. Enjoy!

Hey, Thanks for the comment. I looove my little truck but I like the Wagon a lot more. Nice 320 you've got there! I really like those little trucks. Did you ever get your 521 all parted out? I saw a few posts where you were trying to ebay it and get rid of it, then part it. Got anything left? And what other projects are you working on?

Thanks for the love on the 320...she mostly sits & doesnt get driven much. I still have a 69 L 521 thats about to get cut up unless you or somebody you know needs anything. Theres a few parts left but i guess not what anybody needs. Make a list if you want & ill let you know if i have it,it's easier that way. My other truck projects are my 71 521 & 94 Hardbody. BTW hows the gas mileage on your truck with the Mikuni's ?
Do you have ANY interior pieces left? And what about a steering box? Mines pretty worn out. As far as gas milage... depends on how the carbs are jetted and tuned and how heavy your right foot is. In the case of my boyfriend whos been driving it, lead. Haha. It surprises quite a few Hondas around this area. It's pretty quick, and pretty loud so it gets some pretty funny looks. I think the rear gear [4:38s] help out with the kinda crappy gas milage.

Interior wise i think i have the visors,1 door panel, dash cluster, the defrost vents...basicall i started stripping off all the stuff worth anything & put it all in a bin. Be specific & ill go out & look to see if i have it. Heres how it sits now...minus the seats. I do have the steering box..i never really drove the truck so i cant speak for its condition but basically just come & get it. Trades work too
