    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    So the latest saga of the M715 was sourcing a flex fuel line that goes from the frame over to the engine. No local place could make one, big surprise, or was willing to look into it. So after a search on line I found these push-lok fittings and hose. I needed two female 5/16 inverted flare...

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Over the past two days I managed to replace the LH wheel well which finished up the repair work on the bed. Moved on to the repair panel for the rear LH portion of the cab, alot of time spent fitting this. I still need to drill a 2 1/2" hole for the battery cables and replace the cab mount...

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Not as much picture taking and reporting as the Gama Goat, will try and get more posted. I sold my M1010 which I was not using much any more and used some of the funds for the 715 project. I badly needed a new air compressor so that was first on the list. Being off the grid and needing a lot...

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Now that the Gama Goat is "finished" it's time to start on another project, the M715. My first purchase was a M715 mud truck project fail, I purchased the body only, the PO sold the chassis off to a friend. The bed was rotten but it had the all important tailgate which was worth more than I...
