My Last Truck Purchase

Won a M715 (726) Thursday, the last truck on my list, since God has convinced me through several failed attempts of obtaining another 5 ton that I just don't need one. This is a GSA auction win over at Goldsby OK( so I will Be receiving my SF97 in a day of two, free of charge), they had a slue of 5 tons but I know better than try for one of them. Anyway this 715 started off live as a 6217 maint. truck and still has most of the hardware including the front winch, which the fire dept. removed the drive shaft in order to run headers to the V6 they installed including power steering! I am sorry to loose the drive shaft but that did keep them from totally destroying the LU4 ( which is in remarkably good shape including the hook and chain). The other selling point on the truck was the fact that they just spot welded the big honking bumper over the original winch bumper. so a little grinding and we should be back looking stock in no time.

Congrats! Glad you got what you were looking for. The M715 is on my list also. Along with a few others...

where the bows and seats with it?

Boy that Armada of yours knows no limits. Nice Kaiser! What is that giant data plate to the left of the steering wheel?

The bows and troop seats were from a earlier stop, the troop seats were supposed to be fiberglass but it turns out they are half and half wood and fiberglass? I think the large data plate is for the rear pto operation for the genset/welder in the maint. bed.
