Manhattan Kansas GSA yard lately! Tomarrow?

[Duce]

I'm looking at a 715 on GSA that ends tomarrow and was told at 715 zone that several members here visit these yards often. I'm wanting to know the shape of the body and frames general comDishion of trucks by someone that knows what to look for. Thanks for Any and all help

 

[KsM715]

Wish I could help but I haven't been there in months and when I was the 715's werent up for auction so I didn't look them over. I've got enough projects I cant temp my self with any more.

 

[Duce]

I understand that. Thanks

They usually bring twice what.deuces do there. I wish I had a little more notice, I would have taken today off and run over there. Glen

I've been in both of the 715 out there right now... Hard top and soft top....

 

[Duce]

What did u think about them both. I'm currently winning on he hard top bout an hour or so to go but if that dosent work the soft top closes 40 min later. How r the frames and bodies? General condition. I'm new to all this. And thanks for all the imput and offers. I'm hoping to build a sharp 715 in my sons memory. On oct 7 th 4 years ago he was killed by a 19 year old that ran a red light in a3/4 chevy t boning us at 60 mph hiting on his side. He was 16 months old.My daughter is 9 but thinking along the lines of a bob Duce for her first vehical. Should b safe in that! Thanks again sure I'll b asking all kinds of questions. Reading archives for now

I have Friday and Saturday off if I can be of any help. Been a while since I was in the 715 world. It used to be next to impossible to find a good tail gate, did you get one? I may know where there is one, I also think I know of a good original engine. Glen

GSA is not open on saturdays

I have been seeing them go for $1500-$2500 lately.

 

[Duce]

Thanks for the offer Glenn might ake u up on that. Was planing on having my cousin pull it home on the goose neck but he is an iron worker and just got call back to work he will take off but I don't want to ask him to. I just get it my self but I don't have a gooseneck hitch in my 250 yet. And my bumper pull car haller has a bent spendal. Anyone know where I can rent a bumper pull trailer big enought? Also from the Picts it has no tailgate. But anything else I buy for it needs to b cheep for a while. Low on funds. Money was earmarked for work on house but, I thought the truck looked pretty good well just couldn't help myself.

I do not have a trailer wide enough for a M715. Flat towing will not work with a military bar as the front shackles go through the bumper and I do not have the axle chains. Besides, I am not sure you want to flat tow it, probably had 1967 tires on it still, most of them seem to. Be glad to some over and help push it or winch it up on the trailer. I will check on that tailgate. Glen

You just upped the price by posting this. You just advertised for GSA and made aware to 30 thousand plus OD heads that there are some 715s up for sale in KS.

 

[islandguydon]

Thanks for the heads up,lol.

 

[91W350]

They have already sold and for about a grand less than the last two I saw sell there. Take it easy on your head.
