Thanks for all the advice! I'm torn part of me wants to put some work into it use it as a beater, but there's potentially a lot of little gremlins hiding in there and I might be better off just putting that money toward my M715 or a better truck... Tomorrow i'm going to look it over better and...

Well I’ve been looking for a set of CUCV axles for a LONG term M715 project, finally found a decent deal, they just happen to have a complete truck attached to them… Now the question is: fix the CUCV up enough to use as a beater for a couple years or is it too many small things and to just...

Looks Good...You did a great job rebuilding the truck!

Good to see your making progress! Steering seems you have several options: - stock manual steering - air assist steering - hydo assist steering - full hydro steering With the steering, 1st question would be: Is full hydro steering legal in NY? Quickly searching I didn't see anything saying...

That sounds good, it would give me an excuse to actually go over and I do need a number of deuce parts for my M715 project 8-)

Welcome from Owego, NY and Congrats on the Deuce acquisition! I still haven't gotten over to Kublos even though I'm so close, I have a M715 project that I'll get to work on someday, but I'm afraid if I go over to Kublos I'll come home with something bigger...

Glad to hear your making progress...Keep up the good work!

Good to hear, sounds like there are some people here in NY/PA that will be great resources and help to further the green addiction :beer: I found my M715 on a farm up near the mouth of the Saint Lawrence, it was a ex-fire brush truck from Chamount, NY. joshuaz223 - I will keep the spare rear...

A full cab swap shouldn't actually be that hard, just time consuming and remembering where everything goes, but not too bad. Also remember the cab data plate must match the title... I've heard good things about PREFAIR, but are there any restrictions on bringing parts back across the border...

jeeplvr247 - It the same here in NY, rust is the main battle, I was very happy when I found my truck, only rust was the size of a quarter in the drivers side floor board. dpms101 - Good to see another NY'er, it seems as though there is quite a few people on SS that are in the NY / PA area...

Not your everyday company fleet...sweet trucks[thumbzup] Steve does great work, the 1 ton dana 60s under my '77 CJ7 were delivered about 10 years ago by Steve from FL to Alfred Station, NY :mrgreen: Front: narrowed Chevy Dana 60 5.13s ARB 35 spline, slugs, discs Rear: narrowed Ford High pinion...

Glad your okay and that's impressive you were able to drive away with that amount of damage. It really is a testament to how tough these trucks are. I think I may have seen your truck over the summer at the Big Dipper Ice Cream in Apalachin or a nearly identical one... If you need any help...

jeeplvr247 - Thanks for the thought and welcome, at this point I might start looking for a full parts M35A2 truck. Problem is if I get a complete M35A2 I probably won't want to take it apart... The fire company added A LOT of metal to that M715 in MI...and I thought there was a lot of extra...

Well I'm a long time lurker, first time poster here, figured I should finally introduce myself and my project... I have a 1968 M715 that is a LONG term project. Initially (1999) it got a new clutch and was driveable, but shortly there after I went to graduate school in Alaska, got married and...
