Sorry that the "new" stuff is not correct but at least, you have the situation under control. I have a new flywheel, pressure plate and two discs in the spare dept. Hope I never need them. Mine came from AB Linn. Hope they are OK...
That is very nice. I can see why you are excited. My truck has 13,000 miles but isn't in that good condition. I wish I could say mine is, "Rust Free" but I can... :(
Welcome! Glad that you got ownership and will soon have posession (see, I didn't spell that word correctly ;)) of your truck. I am sure that you will find much help here and on the M715 Zone site. The guys here are not full of bovine scat and are willing to help in any way that they can. When...
I saw an M715 in the front yard of a house in California about a week ago. It was on the back roads going from Stockton to Tracy. The location was north of Tracy. anyone here belong to it or know who owns it? That is the only other M715"In The Wild" that I have seen other than mine!
The M715 that I have came with what looks like a GM PS pump mounted above the alternator. However, it was leaning so far to the side that it couldn't have had much fluid in it. I took it off and will replace the PS gear with a NOS standard gear. The bracket was home made/welded steel. One...
And remember that you can buy Xylene at Home Depot. It is about $18 a gallon so that is one more thing that you don't have to pay shipping or Haz-Mat fees for...
Certainly what Bob said sounds like the way to do it. BTW, I found Xylene thinner is available from Home Depot for around $18. a gallon. I believe that Xylene is the recommended thinner for the paints that we use. I know that it is much more expensive than the regular paint thinner. But you...
I called these guys some time ago. I imagine they are still there and will still let you come pick up the stuff. You may want to call them.

You may want to hold back for a while and wait for others to come forward. As I mentioned, I have not gotten to the painting stage yet. Maybe you can do a search here or at the M715 Zone to see what was said. Personally, I would rather have too much paint and not be pressured to get it 100%...
I have heard some say, 4 gallons will do it all. But I have not gotten that far. I can drive to a place just above Philadelphia that has it and I will most likely buy 6 gallons because of the shipping cost. If I drive, it is only about 2 hours each way. Would clearly offset the cost of...
Maybe that tornado saw through the hood and saw the word "Tornado" on the valve cover. Got scared.
But seriously, I am sorry for any damage you or your neighbors experienced. I can think of two things that you can't stop... Wind and Water.
Glad you are OK...
Mike,
I am not ignoring your request but I don't have an answer. Did the Holley 1920 from a Chrysler product slant six have that port? Maybe you could snag one of them. I guess they are getting somewhat scarce now but were certainly plentiful at one time.
I assume it is drop forged? If I ever find my picture album in this mess of a house, I have a picture of an M715 that was being towed. We were on the way from Ft. Sill, OK to Blanding, UT. It was snowing and one of the guys rear-ended another truck. At the time, I was driving a 5-ton long...
Wolf,
All correct! I spent many hours in SVC-175 and all of our truck had the "black-out" paint scheme. Of course, in the Utah truck, it was used in the US and had the conventional markings. When I finally get my truck here in the US up to speed, I will mark it exactly as the truck was...
