Yes, on the stock setup, the power goes to the start switch on the trans hump. So that location works well and doesn't need a ton of cable to reach it. I also felt that pain when cutting into a perfectly good fender to add them to all my M715 and M725's. Here was a video from when I did the...

Looking like a great project. As for the hood, a hood from any the FSJ Jeep's (J-truck, Cherokee, and Wagoneers) will fit. You just need to add the holes for the hood tie downs and blackout light brackets. And depending on the year you may have to remove the front cross bar from the civilian...

Great Work, can't wait to see it all finished.

Glad you are liking the paint mask set. Looking good!

Glad you like the paint mask set. It will look great once you get it all done. Let me know if you need anything else.

Looking forward to seeing it all done!

Why, my post has some good information for someone down the road who is looking for those parts as to where they can find them.

It's all simple pieces, the arms and mounting brackets are the same as a M38a1, M38, ect... https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/product/mirror-arm/ And the mirror heads are the same as the M37 and M151 or any of the military vehicles that used the rectangle mirror heads. A quick search turned up...

Yes, 03G65068 would have been the proper hood number on an early to mid 1968 built M715 truck.

Nice, making good progress.

Those holes in the tailgate are for the stock rear reflectors. They should be the same military standard ones in red that are on the rear sides of the bed corner.

Coming along nicely!

The joy of being a tall guy, with my seat moved back 4", it is just the right height for me to not bang my elbow on it when driving. Getting in and out with the soft top frame mounted on the other hand leaves me with knots on top of my dome. I think that's one of the main reasons I run it...

Yep I think the lollipop lights were more a fire dept,/ forestry thing as it was an easy way to add 12v turn signals to these trucks. And that spot on the fenders make it about the easiest place to put them and get to them, I imagine that's why when the military added the marker light to them...

Yep they were added at one point to vehicles in Europe. Here a pic I have of one that was just restored back to it's original 7th Army Masster Camo.

Definitely looks like there are some good salvageable parts left on it. Soft top frame, brushguard, front fender don't look too bad and it would be a holy grail type of find if it has the tailgate still with it. You could probably sell the tailgate for enough to fund most of your work on the...

Like I mentioned on your facebook post, once you get the C channel the top should fit really nicely. But now looking at larger pics on the computer, I see it is missing the windshield stand-off brackets as well. The good news is that they are the same as M38a1 Jeeps and are fairly cheap to...

Nice find!

Yep, been driving my M715 since 2004 without the fan shroud and stock fan and have never had the water temp get above 190 even in slow moving parades where there is not much airflow. Luckily both my M725 Ambulances have complete shrouds, but I'm super careful around them because I know they are...

Yes, originally, they had the small old style cat-eye marker lights. They have been getting harder to find, but they are the same as the M37 and original M35's so that helps broaden the search. They look like this, Marker Light. The stand-off bracket is unique to the M715 series of truck, but...
