Been getting more work done on the new ambulance. I have it all painted, and the backgrounds and crosses painted. Next will be a markings kit.

Nice that it has a tailgate as those are getting harder to find if they are missing

Episode #4 of Green Iron TV is up. We are getting further into the restoration on the M725 as we are preparing it for paint. Please take a moment to check it out and please like, subscribe and leave comments on the videos.

Yep, I bought a 5 gallon pail of Evapo-rust and after cleaning out the heavy stuff in the tank, poured the Evapo-rust in and let the tank set on each side for a day to allow the Evapo-rust to work. It is supposed to work better than using white vinegar to eat the rust, and you don't have to...

Episode #3 is up on the restoration on this 1967 Jeep M725 ambulance. We are working on the fuel tank along with prepping the body for paint. Please take a moment to stop by and check it out. I appreciate all the views and subscribers as I get this thing started.

Be aware that the fuel filler neck is different between the M715 and M725 so make sure you get the proper one. I just bought one for the M725 I'm working on, from a company in Greece. https://www.military-spareparts.com/ There is a company that has the rebuild kits for the original fuel pumps...

Wow yes that is the rare M725 compartment light. Awesome that you are offing it up for Mike.

M715mike, looking good. It looks very complete. Great to see another one getting back on the road.

I started a YouTube channel to show the restoration on this vehicle and on many of my other vehicles. so please take a moment to watch and like, subscribe and leave a comment on YouTube to help me out getting this channel off the ground.

I would have assumed that the proper color would have been 34079 which was the forrest green used on all the vehicles from the mid 70's up after the 24087 semi-gloss era.

They may not be the prettiest of welds, but they are holding. Welding cast iron can be quite the challenge, but I managed to get the broken flange stuck back on. I wanted to just try it to see if I could do it good enough without cracking the cast iron from excess heat from the weld. It turned...

And the number one reason why you fix a broken exhaust pipe or hangers right away on these trucks. The weight bouncing cracks and breaks the cast iron manifold. The previous owner left the exhaust pipe broken at the muffler for years and here is the result. Broken off ear. Luckily I have a...

Thanks, I'm so happy that this vehicle is so complete and is missing nothing, which will make a restoration easier.

It is unrestored original paint. It is severely faded and thin in places and if it is not repainted soon to seal the metal back up it would surely start getting rusty. I'm very lucky to get it as it is, because another year or two left unattended and it would have been a real rust bucket. I am...

Well my wife and daughter left me and my son unattended this past weekend while they were gone to a dance competition and the Green Iron Disease bit again. So across the state we went to pick up another 1967 M725 to add into the motorpool. I bought this one well under market value as it complete...

Interesting decal, I'm not sure if I could reproduce one exactly like that, but I could probably make something similar looking in a one-color decal or paint mask.

The font is a special font that the federal government uses for all kinds of markings from vehicles to signs. Here is a quick thrown together look with the font to show you want it would look like.

I do not, I got mine from work as we used to get them for motorcycle displays. They are called Bendy Mannequins and are usually pretty expensive.

Check out my website, http://www.deltateamdecals.com/ although I don't show Air force kits per say on the website, I can and do make them. I also have the correct font as it was used by all the branches back then. I can make them in either yellow decals or paint masks.
