Won't bore you with the details, those are posted on the 715 zone site. But here are pictures of my year long project. Finished about a month ago.

Nice
Looks really nice. I love that color, but don't have time to restore my Deuce to that quality. Besides, with 2 tennage boys still at home, we are often off road brushing against nature. Wouldn't do to restore her yet.

The truck was taken apart, plastic media blasted, epoxy primed, body work completed, epoxy primed again and then 3 coats of Gilispie 24087.

That is a sweet looking M715.
I have always admired those trucks.
Are you running the stock engine?

A really, really nice restoration of an M715!!!
I drove one in the early 1980's that had been sent to the CD Director for Brooke County, W.Va., and that was a truck that you couldn't kill (well, if anyone could, the CD Director could and finally did
), it would haul almost anything, and ran like a champ. The only things you'll have to watch out for are the water pump and the starter switch on the floor (both of these items gave us trouble...).
I almost want to go find an M715 now, but with a Unimog needing new cab paulin, bed tarpaulin and bed floorboards, and the Deuce always needing something minor.....I'd better not.
Three cheers for a really important truck and a wonderful restoration
Cheers,
Kyle F. McGrogan
