enjoy the build as all you can do when its done is drive it. things you might want to consider-
1. install a h/d "truck split master cylinder brake kit
2. look for and install a np202 or np205 divorced transfer case (the stock np200 will over heat when driven on the highway)

if you need any help contact me, I,ve built these for almost 30 yrs

Thanks bcowanwheels I will. as of now the plan is to run hydra-boost brake master and booster it'll be getting a LS engine with a nv4500 trans with a married np241 case. I'm gonna install a open knuckle 60 spring under with 5.87 gear in front the dana 70 in the rear converted to eight lug the rear springs will be inboarded at least the plans for now.

hydro boost is way overkill for a m715 unless you live in the hi mountains or tow really heavy. and finding 8 lug rear hubs is really hard. why 5.87 ? 4.56 and hummer tires is far better. open knuckle front ???????? dont make sence. modern d60 and 14 bolt rear is the route i,d go.JMO because i,ve done a bunch of them.

open knuckle front = modern 60, hydra boost brakes to stop 40" tires, and 5.87 gears to crawl over the big rocks and turn them 40" tires
