Thanks everybody, here is my 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 that I bought in Sept. of 2004 and began restoration in Dec. of 04' and rolled out of my shop April of 2005 all finished. Restoration was a complete frame off and every piece of metal was stripped to bare metal. This was my first MV and has...

Congrats, the good news is that if the cab is the only thing in bad shape, there are many common parts in the cab of the M715 from the Jeep Gladiator pick-ups. Things like floor boards, rockers, cab corners and even the door shells are the same or can be modified slightly to fit the M715. As...

Congrats on a successful run. Truck looks great.

Nice find, the smoking maybe a hardened valve seal if the truck has not been run for several years, and may soften back up some once it gets some oil and heat going back through it. As for down on power, I would pull and check the plugs to see if one is fouled due to the oil and do a...

The pin should be there. I have used the platform mount on my A&K M60 and found that the front arm where it hooks into the open slot on the bottom of the handguard to no line up. But it was an easy fix as all I did was weld an extra tab of metal to the front hook on the arm so that it reached...

Bob, I don't know why it is that you always seam so negative towards everyone's ideas here. If you think the M715 is such a horrible truck that has so many faults, then why do you keep posting about them. These trucks were designed to travel at military convoy speeds of 45mph all day long with...

He'll be just fine. I believe the last MVPA Cross Country Convoy had a max speed of 45mph. These trucks will run that speed all day long.

Actually if you fully read that you will see that the width limit is 102" which is the same width as my enclosed race trailer. He should be just fine. Welcome to the mitten, I'm north of Kzoo at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan.

Welcome, there is a guy over at the M715zone.com who makes new cab bow sets. As for mirrors, you could try and fit a set off of a late 80's Grand Wagoneer as it uses the same door shell. Powering them is going to be the trick if your truck is still the stock 24 volt set-up. New Life Canvas is...

Why bother with the Por-15. I've heard of people having problems with it pealing up if the prep work is not done per Por-15 instuctions. Also if you are doing a Vietnam era Army marked truck, the propper color is #24087. And most people tend to stear away from Aervoe paint as it tends to fade...

I'm across the lake from you on the Michigan shoreline, but I know there are several Wisconsin owners over at the http://www.m715zone.com Maybe one of them will be close enough that you could take a peek at them.

Especially since around that time would have been the switch from Jeeps military vehicle division to AM General once AMC bought Jeep. Being that AM General designed and produced the HMMWV, I would assume the same engineers would have been involved in both vehicles.

Just remember that at highway speeds you will be driving the most un-aerodynamic vehicle out there. It's like driving a flying shoe box. Also they are fairly hot in the summer due to lack of ventilation. But they are fun to drive and I love cruising my around in the summer. Mine is all...

One of these days my work schedule will line up enough that I can make it to the Georgia Rally.

Thanks everybody for the votes, and I'm proud to kick off 2015 as the January MV of the month. Ok so who get to teach me the secret handshake? Papabear? Thanks to all the other contestants as everyone has outstanding MV's.

Thanks Papabear, I had found a few pics of a couple M715 in Vietnam with M2HB's which was my inspiration to add it to mine.

Bump for the day crew. Thanks everyone so far, I'm floored by all the support for my 67' M715. This vehicle was marked for the 313th ASA out of FT. Bragg which was a unit my father served with in the early 60's. They were sent to Key West FL. during the Cuban Missile Crisis and stayed in a...

1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 that I bought in Sept. of 2004 and began restoration in Dec. of 04' and rolled out of my shop April of 2005 all finished. Restoration was a complete frame off and every piece of metal was stripped to bare metal. This was my first MV and has led to my green iron disease...

One pic is in my driveway and the other two are out on a public road right after a snow storm. The road crews had not been out to salt yet so I went for a nice ride in the fresh snow.

I'll throw my hat in the ring with a nice winter pic of my 1967 Jeep M715. With all this cold weather I figured a nice snow pic would be fitting.
