    New to the family.....M715! New pics and updates! Now finally finished!

    Ok, latest updates on the build: panel installed and wired, battery box in, batteries installed and wired. She runs!! Just finished painting the bed today and probably spray the bedliner this week. All tires are finally mounted ( beast of a job with those big 325/85R16's).

    M715 seats

    Other seats can be made to work........start looking around at car/truck shows and junkyards. Easy? Probably not........the way the frame mounts ( on 2 different planes) will require fabrication and welding of some sort.

    New to the family.....M715! New pics and updates! Now finally finished!

    Ok, another update. Got the alternator back from the rebuilder and it's installed along with new belts and my Flex fan. And I located a set of correct ignition wires. Yup they were pricey but available stock seems to have dried up and it's not getting better for these old trucks that were never...

    New to the family.....M715! New pics and updates! Now finally finished!

    Ok, more progress today but it's on something different..........the steering wheel. Mine is in terrible shape but I can't find one. So I ground out the cracks in a "V" shape, filled them with JB Weld, and I'll sand them to shape ( most likely will need 2 coats). When done I'll repaint the wheel.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I got a deal on 7.00x16's from Coker Tire......10% off and free shipping! I've also finally got the correct M38A1 fuel pump for my Jeep. AND I have a shop local that will rebuild the starter. All this will be done early spring ( too cold in the barn right now).

    Ok, another update. Got the starter back from the rebuilder and will install it soon. Also overhauled the carburetor, and installed the spider harness on the back of the gauge panel.

    New to the family.....M715! New pics and updates! Now finally finished!

    Ok, some more updates on the build.............going to install 18" Flex fan to help cooling as I haven't found a fan shroud. Painted my bridge plate, also blasted and painted my brush guard and battery box. Finished the install of the Selectro hubs, was missing a few small screws that I...

    New to the family.....M715! New pics and updates! Now finally finished!

    Further progress made today.........I redid the distributor. Prior someone had converted it to 12v but butchered it.
