I believe he told me he had modern d60 front and 14 bolt rear axles

I need the outside of leaf spring to outside of opposite leaf spring measurement also the width of stock cucv leafs. I,am going to swap a cucv d60 front in my m715 and i know my m715 is wider so i need to decide if i want to move my springs closer together or modify my axle. Its hard to measure...

pump ended up right over the alternator. fill cap is same height as top of valve cover. going to add 1 more support bracket for the bottom even though its very strong as seen here. better to have it over built and never need it is my motto. heres some pictures. bob

Well finally back on this p/s pump mount. Going to try to make it fit on d/s or on top. P/s is out of the question because of the fuel/vac pump is in the way. Should have some pic,s. This week. Bob
