We could sure use the front axle, or just the drive shafts of you 715 if your changing them...?

Well I have owned a few trucks, and most of my collection have done a lot of miles, the 5 tons have pulled a deuce to shows many times. Sometimes a deuce and a jeep both!. And I have never had to have a tow or a major breakdown. We HAVE had some " near misses", Bust turbo..Gearbox stuck in...

I was starting to get "parking problems" So, here's one solution. And I do believe your truck would also fit. problem solved....for a while https://youtu.be/zMFD4loIEOI

Just a small hint for you, Tighten to the correct torque, and do NOT allow the filter can to twist whilst tightening.

Apart from good grounding, check the alternator outputs. I know you DID NOT! fit a replacement 12volt unit....

My M45 530C sits around 95 PSI, But I do have an auxiliary extra air tank fitted for capacity as I fitted air power steering. I was thinking of adjusting the air pressure up some when I get around to it.

I would agree with the post that suggests the wires are not to the correct terminals.

It might be a "bug" but I deleted some pictures by going to the post of the pictures I did not want, and edit, go advanced, add, and then check the picture you were (supposed to download upload) and "remove it" That might delete that same same picture in the folder. as well as the post. Don't...

Very nice, and welcome, One (or two or even three even) could eat their dinners off that so clean vehicle. Very nice restoration. Now you must attend some events meet up with like minded folks, and scheme on getting another one. (and another and...)

That is a really early deuce right enough. There is a rev counter kit that used to be fitted on the right hand side of, and below the dash. just before the glove box.

My friend has one, and complained at length about the "tight" steering. He is now wiser.

You have great find in that Ford jeep. People I know over here ship jeeps over all the time to renovate, and they are usually in a far far worse state than the one you have acquired. It has no "welded" front desert tow bumpers, Rear modified chassis tow fixtures, It is still original equipment...

That is a very nice chunk of constructed metal. Looking forward to following the story with pictures of the ongoing restoration. There are usually two or three of those at the "war and peace revival" show over here most years.

Hmm, well IF it fits....(or..you make it) We put a Chevy one in ours years ago, just had to modify the drop arm as I recollect.

Nice acquisition, welcome to the site hobby friendships and events to come. You will need (all that) "maintenance freak" energy, and it will be well spent.

That is a wonderful and very special vehicle. Good luck on the restoration. It will be nice to the see the pictures and write ups of the progress.

I was having that problem, and cured it with a replacement distributor, ignition, and coil leads. Rather glad I just swapped the mutt (M151A1) for a 2 1/2 ton deuce (A2) with winch. It needed a Lot of work and rectification though, but now I am glad I did the swap. As there were also more...

Totally agree with the above, looks like your going to have a blast with that truck. But then that is what you (must) do when you are that much younger and have or make the opportunity. Nice (and determined) preparation, Enjoy. What size wheels and tires are fitted to front and back? It looks...
