The last time I was at Sam Winer in Akron OH. they had a few sitting in the yard. Got to the photo gallery and look in the folder marked Sam Winer's. In the pic of the 715 titled "best one on the lot" you can see the front of one right behind the 715.

Nice! You guys want to come down and play at my house next? I only have 20 acers that need to be thinned out. :D

I've been running in the local parade here for several years now. We leave from the county court house and make a 2 mile march up through town to the cemetery to the Veretans memorial for a service. I've been using the M715 as the lead vehicle behind the color gaurd in which we drop the troop...

Keep pushing on and you can make it! Looking good. If you are thinking about some markings before you go to Aberdeen, let me know and I can get them cut and right out to you so that you have them in time. It only takes a day to cut them out and two days shipping from UPS to get to you from here.

Kind of like being tagged before being released back into the wild. :lol:

Re-coat 1 to 3 hours or wait until after 16 hrs. Usually by the time I've painted every thing in a set, and have gone back to reload the paint gun, It's been long enough to start back at the first item again.

Well I drove 100 miles yesterday, all hiway and the truck ran great. I was able to hold a comfortable 55 mph @ 2400 rpm everywhere, even up the bigger hills I was on, and was able to push it to 60 mph @ 2650 rpm anytime I wanted. On straight diesel I burned just under a 1/4 tank to cover the...

Re: RE: Marine Corps Markings Thanks Maddog, Those are from my decal site, http://www.i2k.com/~schwarzd/ I also do Marine markings for deuces as posted on my site, but I don't have any good pics of them so on the Marine M35 page is shows a truck with white Army markings to give an idea of...

You can only imagine that the driver is now a few inches shorter after something like that! I know when I hit a bump in the road it feels like I'm getting shorter while behind the wheel of a deuce.

When painting with 24087 make sure that you paint at least three good coats of paint over the red oxide primer or the red will show through the paint making it more brown than green. I sprayed 4 coats on my trucks and they came out nice and dark green. I followed the painting recomendations on...

Re: performance differences on gas Mine runs great with the bypass and straight diesel. About the same it would be for turning up the IP pump.

Looks great! I'm glad you liked the decals, let me know if you need anything else. You probably got quite the looks blasting down the hiway in the old goat. :lol:

4 months, way to get it done! Must not have wasted too much time while working on it. I did my 715 in 4 month. I just love the look on peoples faces when they ask you how many years had you been working on it and you drop the 4 month bomb. For all you guys who spend years doing a resto job...

It's in this link about half way down and posted by Bjorn http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=356&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=bypass

My truck had been like others recently making oil. Well I figured it was the FDC letting diesel into the crankcase. After reading up on it here on SS I found a good diagram showing the bypass. Now my deuce has been a good running deuce even though as far as I can tell it has never had the...

I love the remains of the recent "April showers" we had here in the background in the pics. Looks like some cold water coming out of the bilge. Looking like it's getting close to being finished.

Mine seams to do the same thing except mine only does it when I travel at highway speeds (55) for extended times (hour or more). Not very much, just a couple of quarts over. But enough that it come out a breather/vent line at the bellhousing. anyone have a clue. FDC? and if so is there a...

Both my M35 and M715 are painted with gillespie 24087 and tons of pics can be seen on my sites, http://www.davidallenracing.com/M35A2.htm & http://www.davidallenracing.com/M715.htm

Piece of cake to fix! there is no need to remove the doors or anything major like that. Just take off the handles and the screws that hold it and fish it out the access panel in the door. I had the same problem with mine and here is how I fixed when Lee asked back last...

The truck is not mine but a buddy from the M715zone.com who I made decals for.
