For my non functioning one, I have it mounted to the front of the headache rack. That gets it just high enough to clear the side window while tied down. But is not so high as to hit low things. I can run parades with the ant up and a flag off it and clear wires and streetlights.
I just throw the genset in the back and away we go. It's a lot easier than dealing with inverters and such. The best way I've found to attach the lights without marking the paint is to use zip-ties. Luckily army trucks have lots of tiedown points and place to use zip-ties on to hold the lights.
Nice looking truck, welcome. There are quite a few guys here with 715's so you should be able to find a good bit of info between here and the 715zone. It looks fairly complete and most of the missing pieces should be easy to turn up in searches on ebay or the for sale boards. It does look...
That is the standard air filter system for them that was put into production starting with the 68' trucks.( along with a govenor) There is no deep water fording kit for those systems. The deep water fording kit for the M715 family of vehicles was designed to be used with the original style air...
That would be great. I grew up just a bit farther south in Cincinnati and it's funny that the truck I bought up here in Michigan came from a place so close to home.
The pic Rice posted is of a M724 with the 6217 bed. The 6217 has full height sides and a roof section. It sounds more like your truck was a M715 that has had a bed swapped somewhere along it's life with a civilian bed. Unless you can find a data tag on the bed somewhere I would say it's a...
Paul is correct, painted with Gillespie brand 24087 dark OD Green which was the color on trucks from about the mid 50's till the mid 70's when camo became standard.
Hey medlog, any ideas on some of the history on this truck, 1967 M35 wo/w Ser# 012534271 with reg # of 4K8941. It had bumper #s of 2 107 CAV and HQ 79. I know that the 2/107 Cav is part of the Ohio National Guard and that it was at headquarters company as truck 79. But the truck was in Europe...
Depends on what era they want it to represent. Just like our trucks there are different colors for different time periods. Early stuff was semi-gloss with white and yellow hi-vis markings, then a switch to lusterless with black subdued markings , and then there were all the camo jobs of the...
Yep there had been talk of these for years over at the M715zone.com. They have a diesel in them. They are very close to the 715 and several members were tring to figure out how to import one, or the parts from them for supply to the 715 crowd. A 715 front clip looks like it would slip right...
Nice snag, I was on my way down soon to check that truck out and posibly buy it for my dad, when Lindsey sent me a note to say it was gone. It's alway great to have another SS member from here in Michigan.
The DAK is Pierre Jalving's and I'm sure a few others were his also. The M37 should have been Tom Curnicks as he is local to Zeeland. If it had a pin up girl named Hot Flash, then it was his. I just did that pin up decal for him a few weeks ago right after the Silver Lake Show. I wanted to...
You can check out the M35 pages on my decal site, It gives quite a few of the specified sizes for each of the markings. My site for Delta Team Decals is http://www.i2k.com/~schwarzd/ I do sets in decals or as paint masks. Remember that in the 60's a lot of vehicles were marked with pressure...
I'm just throwing this out there, because I don't know for sure, but could they be bow corners for a Dodge M37? I know that the M37 has angled bows like the 101 and 105 trailers, but I thought I remember someone talking about them being slightly different than the trailer ones. I think they...
