Hello Jim, I built these using Budd bands and my own centers back in the 90's. I am thinking about making a set of adapters for current military aluminum wheels now since there are several types that should work out nicely. When that happens, I'll probably put the ones on it now on the market as...

Thank you for the kind words. Mine rarely gets driven either and it still has stock ring and pinion gears, but does have lockers installed. At some point I'd like to do the overdrive transmission and a couple other things, but right now we still have too many irons in the fire.

Here's a few pictures taken over the weekend 8-)

Here's a little more custom stainless examples.

Starting the overhead console. This (along with the cover panels that are not shown) is made from aluminum then covered in Cordura to match the rest of the interior.

Thank you. We designed and fabricated it, along with many other parts ourselves. It is made from stainless steel since that is what we work with the most. As soon as we finish the overhead console and the switch panel, we will take more photos and post.

Will do. I have lots of photos going back to around 1978 when it was a fire truck for a small community in Tennessee that I grew up in. Back before all the roads were paved, this machine was quite popular but as roads were improved, communities grew and equipment was upgraded, this M715 was...

It's a 20T hook, with another on the front side. Functional but way past the capabilities of the winches they're installed on. This vehicle is to play with and show off, not necessarily something to beat around in because the 440 evidently loves the taste of fuel :shock:

Still making progress on the M715.

Thank you and I will post as we make progress, which should be more frequent now. Well I was in my early twenties when I fabricated most of the parts for this rig and fortunately there's not that many things that I want to do over. The body and suspension lift are one of the keepers. As far as...

Well between the HMMWV works we've been doing we have managed to make some progress on the M715. Redesigned the cab, tucked the rear winch under the bed, black powdercoat the rims and fabricated a set of bed rails. I also finally picked up a pair of Mastercraft MRAP seats for it. This thing...

Thank you, this was also my first MV...lots of great memories with this machine, some with folks that are no longer here. I bought the bands from Budd Wheels and made/installed the centers myself...even made the tall lug nuts :-D

Here's a shot of the M715 I've had for about 16 years now...it used to belong to a small fire department from my home town in Tennessee and was like new when they got it. Although I was a small boy when they received it on a federal grant, I still remember seeing "Sgt Savio" stenciled on the...
