The other video you posted of it driving through that low spot is awesome. Very nice job! I like the graphic on the back of the tanker.

Mike in Jefferson City had a ring full of them. When I arrived, he offered me one, but I already had a couple with me. I changed my ignition switches to keep some adventurous EX GI from having a night on my dime.

I would give your four thumbs up, but I only have two... that is one sweet ride. Thanks for sharing...

I think the thing that amazed me more than anything else about my M715 was how stable it was off road. I had put a Detroit Locker in the rear and a Lock Right in the front. It did not do much as far as articulation, but it was perfectly happy hanging one wheel three or four feet in the air...

The local parts store was short an air cleaner the other day when I changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filters on my three CUCVs. Today I picked it up and my son had watched me rinse the foam out filter in solvent and then blow it out with an air hose. Apparently he was not nearly as...

Wow! It does make an excellent wallpaper! Replaced the M818 on big shoes that was there before... Thanks for posting... Glen

I am betting that rig is rough on sprinkler heads.... Excellent job, I could use her for a few days!

That would be killer!

One of my M1009s has been leaking down, the one we recovered from Jefferson City. I had been bleeding the fuel block to get it started, I installed a long hose that looped up to the front of the hood. I would use it as a bleeding reserve off the top of the block. The hose is for nitro fuel and...

That is a nice looking M1009, good score! Glen

Yes, and he did an awesome job. If I remember right, he went with a five or six speed. In the end though, he spent way more than he gained. I watched it go a couple of times on Ebay, not sure what the final selling price was. The amount and quality of fabrication he did was amazing. Glen

That is a fact, it would be much cheaper to just put in a high winding small block and call it good. I was a member at the Zone for a long time and they do have a wealth of knowledge there. Cruise their ads and you can buy about any used part your heart desires. My favorite M715 was one built...

The last one I converted to a V8 ran great, the best running M715 I had ever driven. The clutch bearing went out and the clutch was shot. After searching for a while, I got frustrated and went V8. They really work nice with a 305/327/350 Chevy, they are geared so deep, you really do not need a...

You spent a lot of time there, but all of your rpms are higher than the stock setup with 35.4 inch tires at 45 mph, which is about all they should run and that is really too hard for extended distances. I get 2507 at 45 mph for the stock setup. Those who are really in the know recognize that is...

I had four M715s, two of which would run 60 if you stayed in the carburetor long enough. Two of which would not go over 45 without a tow. One of those was an ex Forestry truck with less than 7,000 miles on it. It was just flat gutless. Anyway, we are asking an awful lot of an engine with a...

The M715 had no power to spare in stock form, it was a load for the original engine. I think dropping the engine rpm by raising the gear ratio will make the load more than the engine can pull. It is pretty optimistic to think the little six is going to be able to pull a M725 75 mph. I am betting...

The gear ratio difference would be quickly evident in 4x4, otherwise you would never know. Does it still have a full floating rear axle, the axle has a ring of bolts at the center of the wheel? Are the lug patterns six or eight bolts on the wheels? 55mph should be pretty much howling for a...

I have one doing that also and it appears like the top is fraying out, like they failed to seal it or there is a resin dry spot. Having done some limited boat repair, I too wonder if it needs a coat of something to seal it off again. Mine feels like the top almost has a bubble there, like the...

Very unlikely the 400 is shot at less than 100K on the clock, especially with the low gears behind a 6.2 diesel. The gear ratio and relatively low power is not a transmission frying combination. Normally it is something else aggravating your system. The trucks are 25 years old now though...

The Dana that is supposed to be in there has large joints in the axles. If somebody converted it to the much smaller and weaker 10 bolt, you will be able to see what looks like a ball joint on top of the steering knuckle, instead of the bolt on caps you referred to. I have seen half ton pickups...
