Such a cool track and recovery story. Plus I love the weathered paint.

There is no rules against posting pics of you vehicle with the fake gun. I routinely take my M715 with a full metal M2 replica and propane simulator to all kinds of shows and parades and even come home sometimes with a trophy when they have a class for it. But it's funny because I call it being...

Thanks, Yes I can help you out with markings. Like others have said, to come up with a set, start looking at units and the time period you want the truck to represent. Then spend a little time on Google searching that unit. Start with the major unit and look for the sub units within the main...

If you need the connectors inside the light housings, it will probably be easier to just buy new lights. I don't think I have seen the pieces available seperately.

Yep putting some regular 16" tires on for the time being to move around should be fine. If you plan on making it long term, you need to use radial tubes instead of the stock bias tubes otherwise the tubes can fail. I've had 36x16 Swamper radials with radial tubes on my M715 since 2004 without...

I bought the soft top and rear cargo canvas years ago at a show or on eBay. I know WeeBee Webbing makes the soft top but I don't think they make the full rear canvas. The Gillespie #24087 definitely darkens with time. And also really depends on the lighting. On bright sunny days it looks more...

I painted mine with Gillespie OD 24087 back in 2005 and it's still holding up well. I do store the truck inside though.

Check to make sure the pin on the distributor gear didn't break and allow the gear to move. It can cause all kinds of timing issues if it did.

I can make all those in either paint mask or decals. You can check out my decal site http://www.deltateamdecals.com/home.html and although I don't have them listed separately, just tell me which ones you need and I can put together a quote for you.

We are just over a week away and I was just checking to see if any members had any interest in displaying for the Heroes on the Dunes on Saturday July 20th.

We will be having a Military Vehicle display during the Heroes on The Dunes event on Saturday July 20th. The Heroes on the Dunes event raises thousands of dollars for veteran’s charities each year and brings in 75 disabled veterans and families for a free weekend experience at the Silver Lake...

Used to hold the hood open. It hooks into one of the windshield tie downs on the hood. It keeps a gust of wind from blowing the hood closed on someone who is working under it.

They are troop seats for a M715. Yes I do have another set for a M715 that I would sell if someone needed them.

Well, it looks like I'm getting a day hallpass from the boss to run down on Saturday. I'm bringing down a set of troop seats for a guy and she said as long as I don't bring back too much stuff. Ha Ha

There are a couple of M101 with white markings pics on my decal website, http://www.deltateamdecals.com/trailers.html Also those locations work for the M105's from that time period as well. I have one in original markings.

This is an old thread

The 2 major players in parts for these trucks is Memphis Equipment and Vintage Powerwagons, but there are a ton of small vendors that have various items and ebay is often helpful on finding some of the odd parts. Being a M-series vehicle, means that there are several common parts that are the...

The data plate that you are missing from the dash is the one about idling the engine to prevent turbo damage.

For US ARMY markings, the hood markings changed in 1968 in that the format changed to include the year the vehicle was accepted into the Army on the end. An example of a 68' marking for a deuce would be 04A00168. This would be the first class 4 vehicle accepted by the Army for 1968. The A and...

The M715 bows are curved and more like the bows on a M35 than the M37. The corners are more rounded and don't go to a full 90 degrees, this accounts for the curve of the bow.
