I like the cargo cover! When I finish my diesel 715, it will have bows, troop seats, and tarp. I have a complete set I will be using, so if you need measurements of any of it, holler. (I don't have a tarp yet).
It's been a long time since I've seen oil in cans! I remember display racks of...
Looks like 383 green on my screen, so looks "right". [thumbzup]
If you were going for "Marine green" (24052), yeah, it is a bit bright. But it looks super as is.

Having looked at your "post-mudding" pictures, an idea you may consider or discard at your choice is some mud flaps.
The 715 I am currently working on came with some simple rubber flaps front and rear, which look to me like a good idea as I have always thought the M715 fenders stopped a little...
That standoff of the turn signals from the rear bulkhead is how the larger military turn signals fit in the M715, since the back of the light gets stopped by the front bulkhead hole not being large enough for them to go through.
The smaller diameter lights like you have would normally fit...
From the pictures in the manual, they were using two rather small batteries then too. No way two larger batteries would fit in the box with the lid sloped.
Ken, sure is great seeing your truck running and stopping. I'm impressed with how quickly you are getting the project done. [thumbzup]...
Here are the requested dimensions of the original battery box, measured from my truck that has one of these elbow-whackers.
If I can't find an original for my other truck and have to build one, I'll likely amend the dimension of the new one a bit and add an armrest pad on top.
I'll probably...
I had figured the lollipop lights were a forest service/volunteer fire department thing (mine appears to be former forest service).
I'll have to go back further through my photo files, so far I've found several of M715s with clearance lights on the fenders, but no military 715s with lollipops...
Excellent! Thank you!
So, not the first one to come up with the idea. I can do it and be correct. :)
Makes me wonder now if that is why those lollipop lights got put where they were?
Cheers
Seeing your side marker lights made me think "Ooh! That's a pretty good idea!" And since the M715 I am currently 'decivilianizing' will not be going all the way back to original stock condition, why not?
The previous owner had drilled holes and put some mickey-mouse lollipop turn...
