    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    The rank turned out great. I was worried how well the little details in the sling would turn out.

    Funny that this subject came up the other day here as I had just filmed an episode on the subject of bridgeweight plates for my Green Iron TV channel that came out today.

    Every manual I've seen refers it to "combined" meaning the combined weight classes of the vehicle and trailer and is representative of the weights of the two vehicles over the combined length and distribution between the axles. The numbers don't represent tons, but are weight classes from the...

    Here is the specific page on Delta Team Decals that has the bridgeplate kits, Bridgeplate (deltateamdecals.com) Note that this kit comes with enough numbers to fully restore a plate and is pretty reasonable for only $10 with free shipping.

    Those holes in the tailgate are for the stock rear reflectors. They should be the same military standard ones in red that are on the rear sides of the bed corner.

    The joy of being a tall guy, with my seat moved back 4", it is just the right height for me to not bang my elbow on it when driving. Getting in and out with the soft top frame mounted on the other hand leaves me with knots on top of my dome. I think that's one of the main reasons I run it...

    Yep I think the lollipop lights were more a fire dept,/ forestry thing as it was an easy way to add 12v turn signals to these trucks. And that spot on the fenders make it about the easiest place to put them and get to them, I imagine that's why when the military added the marker light to them...

    Yep they were added at one point to vehicles in Europe. Here a pic I have of one that was just restored back to it's original 7th Army Masster Camo.

    Definitely looks like there are some good salvageable parts left on it. Soft top frame, brushguard, front fender don't look too bad and it would be a holy grail type of find if it has the tailgate still with it. You could probably sell the tailgate for enough to fund most of your work on the...

    Like I mentioned on your facebook post, once you get the C channel the top should fit really nicely. But now looking at larger pics on the computer, I see it is missing the windshield stand-off brackets as well. The good news is that they are the same as M38a1 Jeeps and are fairly cheap to...
