There is a build thread over on the 715zone. Started life as a stocker, then to a rather healthy 406SBC with an automatic trans, then to a 4bt/NV4500/GM axle swap, Now the 5.9 Cummins. I'm done with transformations on this truck. I found the happy combo, no it's time to tweak it just a bit with...

Yes sir! Sorry, I'm not a purist. I have an uncontrollable urge to install engines that don't belong in certain vehicles.

Thanks! But I wasn't in VA....

Here's a few youtube links for the M715. Took it to Wharton State Forest yesterday with the Mid Atlantic Full Size Jeep Club for some trail riding. Got it stuck in a water hole that nobody should have gone through....but I'm just not that smart:drool...

I took a short video for the buyer in NY. I will miss this truck. As soon as I find a way to make owning/operating one of these more feasible....I will get another one. I just hope that I can get one as nice as this for the price I paid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FLQsalgTSU

Well, the local DOT cops make rules up as they go, and I am not known to get along with cops that pull me over to FIND a problem. My better judgement said to sell, simply because I cannot afford the fines. Antique tags are out of the question for me. I planned to use it as a truck. I will have...

Well, I sort of shot from the hip when purchasing this truck. I knew there was a lot of regulation and expense to owning/operating something this big. Just to own it and legally operate it for light personal hauling without any flack from the local DOT cops, it was going to cost me a fortune. I...

He already handled that. I got all of the paperwork from Arizona, I just have to get the cash together to get it registered and insured.

That was one of my inspections. I checked over all of the lines, fuel/air, etc...They all look good. I haven't had time to get it registered yet, but I do stop by and start the truck a couple times a week. It lights right off every time and runs like a clock. Can't wait to drive it.

Mine is now 6BT powered with late model axles. Had a 4BT in it for a few years and it started knocking.

Snapped a couple of pics today. The M715 looks like a play toy....

I was happy to see that it arrived this fast. I wasn't expecting it until next month or later.

Got my paperwork w/AZ title today. Time to get the ball rolling and get it legal.....if I can afford it. Might wait a while.

I usually take the top off of my M715 in mid-March, and install it mid-Oct. If the temps are above 75, the windshield is down. It gets driven this way all Summer, daily. Only had one small town LEO tell me to put the windshield back up. I ignored him and drove away.... there is no law against it...
