I have a copy that was given to me. It's honestly not what you think... It's more of a "This is what I did" than a nut by nut restoration. It's good reading, but honestly I haven't cracked mine since initially glancing through it

Every year at a local National Cemetery, Wreaths Across America puts wreaths on the veterans Graves. Today was wreath retirement. My kid and I were there, and between all of the volunteers who showed up, we recoverd 2,300 wreaths in about 30 minutes. After filling up two dump trailers, there...

Thank you! Unless something jumps out at me, I'm going to call this one "done" and focus on the M37 now.

You should have a VIN stamped somewhere in the vehicle. Is it military? If it is and you have a data plate, post a pic. If there is no VIN stamped ANYWHERE, you may need to go the "rebuilt" trailer route. PMing you.

The final step today... took my paperwork to the special plates division in Baton Rouge and had her registered as a Historic Military Vehicle. Permanent registration and the VIN painted on her military style as the plates!

Lol what stinks is I can't put current pics of the M715 up because I want to enter her this year in her new configuration and don't want to "spoil" it... 😁😅😆

Th The thing is, friend, that a piece of paper out there that has the weight of the bed likely doesn't exist. You have had several people, myself included, who not only have moved these beds, but have also given you tips on how to weigh it/lift it with your hoist safely. One of which is a...

Yes. A 1967 M715 Kaiser-Jeep. I have a thread detailing her rebuild/rise from the ashes HERE if you would like to persuse the work I've done since purchase.

D- Several knowledgeable people who have moved these, worked with these and know these (and I consider your knowledge the gold standard) have explained to him how to safely move the bed, test his hoist etc without danger to himself or the bed. He has decided he will not move it without a...
