Good deal! Now you're ready to use it for some work this weekend. Good thing you took care of the hot coolant temp issue, it would have caused some big fixes had it been neglected.

Nice work sir! You are in the home stretch. Can't tell in the last photo, you may want to add a grommet in the hole where the lines come through the frame if theres not one already.

I like the mounting plate for the gages, looks good there. Nice tach too, wish I had one. Where did you mount the sender for the coolant gage?

Wow David, that old girl has aged gracefully! Very nice shape.

Nice solid clean truck!!

Awesome! I have to keep coming back to look at it!

I see that yours came with a winch cover... :) I was there in '04 and bought a winch from the pile. Here is a pic after I rebuilt, painted, and installed it on my duece. I see they still have those trucks lined up in the field. The guy said that the owner didn't want to sell them or any parts...

Beautiful! So that's what they look like when new.

I've got a temp gage in one of mine, but I have not driven it since last fall so I don't remember exactly what it runs at, 180 I think. 210 is high and I wouldn't be comfortable with that temp. Not to scare you, but the 6.2 is not conducive to running hot. They tend to blow head gaskets and/or...

RE: Quick fluid question.? Nope, no additive needed. Some posi-lok diffs will 'chatter' on turns, the additive helps to reduce that. The gov-loks in the 1009's don't do it.

My truck came with warped and rotted troop seats, so I had something to go by and didn't have to come up with the uprights. When I rebuilt them, I got the bolts from the local hardware store, bought some oak planks from the Home Depot and ripped them to the right width and cut them to the right...

RE: Quick fluid question.? I use the green Prestone coolant in the yellow jug, and Lucas 80/90 gear lube in the axles.

Don't forget to take before and after pics!

The small burned out wire between the pos and neg bus is a factory noise supressor. They were attached to each other at one time. All CUCV's have/had them. It is a military option only, and is not needed. Remove the attached pieces that are left.

Sam Winer has pto drive shafts for around $100, and the lever bracket from Memphis was around $65. Don't forget you will need an attachment sleeve on the pto and the winch for the drive shaft. This part is exspensive if bought new. Sam Winer has them for $80 IIRC, maybe a little less, and they...

The Memphis parts are repro's but they work. The handle is more of a flat piece of steel. Originals are very tough to find.

The only weatherstripping Memphis has for the 715 is the windshield cowl and the inner and outer rubber wiper for the door glass. Looking like I'll have to go 'custom'.

Thanks guys!
