Of all the minitrucks from the 80's, I still like the 720 best! Better than Toyota, Mazda, Mitsu, or other. That is a very cool video. Thanks for posting the link.

Yeah, lots of 720s, and no I don't want a tilt bed truck.

[fastboatman29212]

Oh man, tilt the bed? NO WAY! I just meant that I like the body lines and the dual headlights. This is only the 2nd truck I've owned. The 1st was a Dodge Dakota. Never really liked it as far as styling.

Plus, I really think these 720s are easy to work on. I'm happy as a clam!

yeah breadbox i just posted it up because of the little bit of history on where some of these trucks have gone too ... i found it interesting

[breadbox]

I should make, mine tilt like a dump truck, that seems useful. Should have access to a welder soon.

[fastboatman29212]

Maybe it'd be worth it if you use it to actually haul and dump stuff, but not otherwise.

[synack7350]

yeah I can imagine me tilting the bed and dumping my gf's furniture all over the side walk, some reason I don't think that would go over well.

[breadbox]

First off access to the fuel tank would be that much easier. Although the hydraulics would weigh a bit.

[MetalFab]

I'm of the same mind as breadbox on this subject, a tilt bed would be awesome, yet it would have to be on a larger truck (I tend to overload these small rigs), I just wouldn't drive down the road wagging my bed around and thinking I was cool =P An interesting fad though, to make a tilt/lift bed for "show"

Hitting a button and dropping your truck down to asphalt however... xD

[flinterman2000]

There was a guy down here who had hydraulics to open the hood sideways, tilt the fenders up and of course drop to the ground. His was the only vehicle that never got towed for illegal parking.

[MetalFab]

always wanted to set up a rig with hydraulics at all 4 corners so I could drop my rig on it's frame, raise the tires off the ground and stuff them into the fenders. I'd like to see someone tow that, let alone steal it.

[breadbox]

lol. If anyone can find a truck that does that I'd love to see it.
