Roided Up M715

[fantastico]

Looking for some help, about 5+ years ago i saw a M715 on Ebay and it was on 48 or 52 " Tires, different engine, and really nicely done. The OP said that it was done by the military, but it looked like a REALLY GREAT one off. Anyone point me to its new owner or have pics?

You should research "Velvet". That would be Spicergears old M715 sitting on deuce axles with big honkin tires. Did pretty well in the top truck challenge or whatever they called it.

Edit, searched myself and found this!

Lee "McInfantry" also built an extremely nice M-715, Cummins 4BT.

i have seen that one as well. Maybe it had BIGGER tires than 52's. Memory......

Lee's did not have 52" tires....

These are some nice ones but obviously NOT done by the military.

Thanks, the 2nd one looks clean like the one i remember

You might try over on M715zone.com someone over there might know where it is.

It will take duce axles custom built to handle 52" tires especially the heavy 52" military tires. Lots of $ in them overson axle parts.

Was it by chance Desert Tan with roadster doors? That was built by a guy in TN named Chad. It has been sold several times and the current owner hasn't been to the Zone yet.
