    Winch price check please

    better makee sure its good as some parts for them are getting very hard to find often. mostly prices are from $1000.00 + up for quality setups. less quality means less $$$$$ JMO BOB

    I bought another one!

    It just about takes 2 good trucks to make 1 nice truck. A 6 bt in one of these is a bugger to make work and alot of time & $$$$$$ imo a 4bt is perfect as far as a diesel goes and alot less $$$$ & time fabing but still a chore for a novice. A sbc or bbc is alot easyer and lots of $ cheaper.

    m715 questions.

    I have tons of parts for these trucks. As far as your engine issue i bet your "sock " on the bottom of you fuel pickup is just about plugged up. Pull your fuel tank so you can look inside it and i bet its rusted up..... Most of these trucks are from sitting. Use a temporary fuel caan and plumb...

    I bought a M715 today!

    The stock axles hold up fine unless your just in the frame of mind to make the truck do stuff its not designed to do. The closed knuckle kingpins are far superior to the nylon bushings of the modern d60 axles. The 30 spline axles is where people break them . You can break anything if you try...

    I bought a M715 today!

    I make reproduction tail gates, "no jeep letters " but all else is to original spec's. I also do them in double thick as the stock gates are very easy to bend as there only 1/16" thick.

    Snow + M715 = Happy kids

    From my experience a power lock in the front axle and leave the rear open diff. This eliminates the harsh wear on the rear tires from a locker and gives you double the traction in the heavy front end area. This setup will take you 95% of anywhere you want to go and keep you ridin good on dry...

    Latest build up m715

    vintage air is the A/C-HEAT units i use. also a ( stock ) small block chevy in my opinion is the best in all aspects as far as engine swaps IMO. the cummins diesel swap is extreamly expensive route to go and is "alot " of custom engineering to do. i have rebuilt several 292 chevy engines and the...
