Here is my M715, original paint and markings, restored M725 and a M726 I am doing a complete restoration on.
I'm in the market for a M724, must be complete in decent shape.

I did notice over the years looking at trucks at PR, USVI (and Guam), that they are pretty rusty compared to stateside. I wouldn't even want to guess what freight is to the states.

I don't believe there are any mil. veh. salvage yards in WI. The yards close to Sparta were all cleaned out over the past 10-15 years of this stuff. I knew a good one in Tomah, but that is all gone now. Now, equipment is purchased and scrapped out almost immediately to recover the money.

What's the benefit of a hybrid car when the state/gov. would tax you higher to operate it? You already paid more for it versus a non-hybrid model. Kudos to those who want to use less gas and have...

Rust -- check the seam between the front floor pans and the cowl (underneath the pedals) Also under the battery box by the rear floor support channel. And of course the rockers.

Smell the gas, if it smells bad, you'll have to drain the tank and lines...
Does anyone make these vinyl decals? I know of a couple people making vinyl decals but the font is all wrong and they are too thin. My M715 has the original decals, but I need some for the M725 and M726, and the M38a1 for that matter. Mine is 2/54 del. and reg. number starting in 20100xxxx...
It is the middle of March and it is in the mid 70's already, so end of April should be in the 90's, right?
I'd hate to drive my M725 down there in that hotbox. Maybe the windshield folded down on the M715 would be more appropriate.

Welcome from up north.
Keep watching GL at Sparta/Ft. McCoy, they have alot of good trucks there. And watch GSA, the lot is at Waunakee, and they usually have some decent trucks there, too.
And get to Iola for the military show in August.
