Looks like a nice ex-brush truck, needs some OD paint ASAP! The old Tornado is a easy to get running engine, just get the Holley and the fuel pump a kit, clean the points, and she will fire right up. Just hope she hits on all 6!!

Refering to the stock Holley 1 bbl carb and the fuel pump. Usually the rubber/neoprene parts in an older truck are no good. I think Saturn has these.

Now you know why it says "Fire Call 911" on the side!
Nice looking M715!
Be sure to check out M715Zone.com & get your S/N added to the registry!

These trucks are neat. I worked with a guy who used his for a daily driver. He is a contractor and was doing a job when he noticed on od one sitting in a barn. He asked the lady if she would sell it and instead she gave it to him for payment of the work he was doing. He later restored it and it looks great!

it's alive
Got it running. Replaced fuel filter, lines, and a few other vacuum lines. Fired right up. Temp went to 185 and stayed there. Looks like one brake is frozen (right front). Put it in 4high and got it to move a little. Need to remove all the wheels and check the brakes.
Pretty exciting!!
