Hello,  I have a question.  I have a '72 620, and am interested in the 320's as well, I know where a '63 320 is but it is very rusted.  Is it worth saving?  I do body work and once the rust was over come the body wouldn't be all that bad, it's just the rust issue.  The truck can be had for $400.  Any input would be useful.

G'day, If you have a look under 'my dat rebuild' on this site I think you'll find nearly all the rust you get in a L320.

Cheers and welcome.

I wish this one was as nice as yours, will take quite a bit more metal work I believe.  May still pick it up though....

If you have the room and time - buy it for parts and offer them up for sale.

Us 320 owners are always looking for parts.

I'm with Ohio on this one. If you have the $ save thi "lil" puppy! Given what matti has done with his and what my body shop has fixed on 'lil-dat' the rust can be overcome.So either way it's wort buying.

I probably will. I just have to finish parting out my '78 620 so I'll have the room. Then I'll decide whether to keep it or not, so be on the lookout!
