:) My daughter introduced me to his books a few years ago, I've now read all of them at least once. SQUEAK was apparently heard many times in and around this M715. Cheers

Thus far I have banged my head working on everything I own, and my Unimog and V100 have both forced me to get stiches in my scalp. The Unimog bite, I began to swing out from underneath and caught one of the jack points the Swiss ones have underneath. When I woke up (it knocked me senseless)...

The hardware in the burlap bags does look like the right stuff for the troop seats. I know the big sections don't look like the M715 ones I have in my storage shed (I have a set of seats for my own truck), but the stuff in the bags does. The oak pieces are very nice too, N Arizona already had...

Yes, Louie, this is Davey's project. He is contemplating Marine green with yellow lettering vs possibly MERDEC camo. He has a while to think about it while we get the mechanicals in shape. :) Pictures will be taken of all aspects as work progresses. The shop isn't complete yet, but I've set...

Well, the M715 is now safely at its new home. My older boy has completed his Marine service, with two combat tours, and returned home to us. While he worked on my trucks with me as a kid, this is going to be his first restoration project, with me as his assistant for a change. Saturday, we...

If your brakes continue to be soft after all the adjustments and bleeding, check your booster. That was an ongoing problem with mine, even though it was new when first installed (they apparently don't like sitting around in the V for three and a half years while you finish the other stuff)...

Red River security is very sticky, but once you get through their check the first time, they give you a card good for a year. Everyone in the vehicle must have an ID, or they don't get on base, as my girlfriend found when she left her DL at home. The staff are very friendly, but absolute about...

Terrible winter we are having in Texas, it was a blizzard-like 83 here yesterday. (Actually, the daft part here is it can be 83 one day, and 30 the next). Two good used tail-lights in hand for you Mark, including the proper lenses. I'll almost miss the yellow paint. Almost. I'm sure a row...

I am SOOOOO jealous!! :) Cheers

They are not all the same either - one of my M1009s had SAE size bolts, one took metric. :confused: I wrote the sizes down somewhere, I'll see if I can find it and post. I just tried different bolts til I found the right ones. Cheers

I can attest to that thing being a BEAR to steer!! Cheers

The visual differences between the AS3900 base and the MX-6707 can be seen in the attached photos. Since you are going for looks only, it wouldn't matter which one you used EXCEPT that you have whips that fit the AS3900 base only. The threaded part above the base spring, (under the cap...

By Texas classification, it's just an odd looking pickup... Cheers

You lot are welcome anytime! Cheers

Tee hee!!! ;) Cheers

11- Emerging into the sunshine for the first time in many years 12- moving across the yard under her own power I stopped taking pictures here, as somehow I got elected to wrangle the Goat onto the trailer. The steering was NOT being cooperative! 14- Who picked this short cut through the...

While Mark is beating on his computer (or, more likely, outside playing with his Goat!), here are a few trip pictures. 1- at the CAMO compound, Papabear loads goat tires while the dog supervises. The barter materials are off to the right. 2- at the Forest Service yard in North Carolina...

Louie, you and the troops are welcome back anytime! It was an honour and a pleasure to have y'all drive the V around. :) She's looking good, Jason. [thumbzup] Cheers

I did fall in love on the trip, but her Forestry Service parents wouldn't let us elope together. A 2007 M915A4 with a Ferree 22' step-deck. Swoon!! We would have made such a lovely couple! Cheers

And I'm back in my AO. Good trip, and other than passing through a town called Murphy, there were no other appearances by said bane of the MV recoverer. We had no problems, great folks were met/re-met along the way, and a NC Goat is now safely arrived at it's new home in Texas. And three of...
