Just wanted to say hello, have read alot of good info here that really helped in fixing up my 720. It was very rough when I bought her, but she is getting new life now. Hope to be able to contribute in the future..

Thanks, you guys are a ton of help. I should have taken pictures of her before I started, but did not think about that to much until I started looking at all the pics on here. I will try to get some of her shortly and post them. It is really amazing how people neglect things. I really did not start out to do a fixer upper but now that I have, it turned into a fun thing for winter when the bikes are under cover..

They are great little trucks, and a person can still work on them and find most of the parts. I bought it for a around town truck, parts hauler, and just alot better mileage than my full size. Now my buddies keep giving me crap about doing so much to it, but has to look and run good. I find myself thinking about what to do next, could get to be a habbit. LOL..

Still, there's not much cooler than a really clean 720. They had great lines... what a clean design.

Hey flinterman, is there any chance you could make another thread about your '00? I don't think a lot of folks on here even know what that is.
