Went to Jeepfest in Jasper GA last weekend. What a blast!! While I was there I saw a few military vehicles. One five ton, a few willys jeeps, and one 715. I drove my military cj5 since the 715 isnt done yet. Here are some pics of the 715 that was there, guy was pretty cool and let me look it...

Now im working on the brake lines. I installed dual pot master cylinder and need to make one more line and everything will be done and I can bleed the system. One really cool thing I learned about these trucks is the vent system is all connected. The rear end is connected to the transfer case...

Few more pics

Thank y'all, I'm in north GA. I also have a '74 cj5 that was a mv. I've always been a jeep guy! I have printed off literally hundreds of pages of stuff off m715.com already! It's actually still 24v, luckily the factory gen was still in the bed along with a ton of trash.

I did some trading last weekend and picked up my first M715. I have about $880 in it as it sets (towing and all). It does not run at this moment. PO said points were bad. I plan on getting some batteries along with all new fluids and see if I can get it going. Planning on just using it as a...
