    M1009 / RT524 radio questions

    Not sure on the antenna guard, a picture would help. The CX-4722 cables would be the same may just be different lengths. You will need a CX-4723 to go from the MT-1029 to the C2299 remote box, you can still have a mike at the radio if you want. There is a special grommet for the cables to go...

    M886 Commo Truck Build

    Picked up this M886 from another SS member yesterday, plan is to build it into a commo truck for local ARES events and military shows. Started today on cleaning up and removing some old parts. Trailer hitch was quite low to the ground so I removed it. The exhaust needs to be replaced and...

    Researching Vehicle History

    G503.com is the best place to research WWII jeeps.

    Check out my Pre-Buy Check List?

    I would look for combat wheels, seats don't adjust, early models did not have a gas can bracket or rifle holder. You would be better off taking a lot of good pictures of it and posting them on G503.com and ask them to look it over.

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    So the latest saga of the M715 was sourcing a flex fuel line that goes from the frame over to the engine. No local place could make one, big surprise, or was willing to look into it. So after a search on line I found these push-lok fittings and hose. I needed two female 5/16 inverted flare...

    I have a tie town kit, would be interested in trading toward a tow bar I asked about. I know you only need the rear parts but I will bring it all just in case.

    M151 - Possible first MV?

    With that basket on front and roll bar it looks like one of those "Fast attack vehicle" M151's the USMC made up.

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Over the past two days I managed to replace the LH wheel well which finished up the repair work on the bed. Moved on to the repair panel for the rear LH portion of the cab, alot of time spent fitting this. I still need to drill a 2 1/2" hole for the battery cables and replace the cab mount...

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Paint arrived today from G503.com, this is the best spray can's I have ever used hands down, no clogging and a great spray pattern. Put a second coat on the hanging parts, then on to bed repair. I finished welding in the panel in the center of the bed, then started on the fender wells. The FD...

    I'm BACK!

    Glad to see another goat owner on the forum. eBay, popacom, and Red River seem to have the majority of the parts now. I got my insurance through Hagerty collector car insurance, very inexpensive. There is a thread here on changing out a transfer. A engine or overhead hoist will make the job...

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Going to keep the 230, it's going to be all stock, it doesn't go very far any way. Cleaned, blasted and primed the fuel tank today. Also painted a few more hanging parts, ran out of paint waiting for more to arrive.

    Operation Urgent Restoration II The M715

    Not as much picture taking and reporting as the Gama Goat, will try and get more posted. I sold my M1010 which I was not using much any more and used some of the funds for the 715 project. I badly needed a new air compressor so that was first on the list. Being off the grid and needing a lot...
