[foxtrot]

]Hi guys.
I have to make a decision before January 2, 2013.
I did 285 miles to see is two M715.
Your opinions, questions, comments are welcome.


Description:


The first green gasoline 6 Cyl French paper over canvas cargo.
The second 6 cyl Perkins diesel with paper U.S.

The first one looks very good and almost complete. I would go for that one because I like to keep things original military. You could easily make that truck into a very nice truck. Does it run? Any mechanical problems? If you are required to buy both trucks, I would restore the first one and re-sell the second, sans any needed parts for the first one.

Hello,
Glcaines.
Yes, the two runs.
The photos are nicer to look at as well.

The first one is a rusted mess, I would not buy it ever. The rocker panels are scabbed on and the cab floors are plate steel. The rockers on the second one look better but there are still rust issues there as well. Kaiser did not put any paint or anything inside the hollow rocker panels.

I would buy both and take the pair and make 1 nice one then sell the one off you didnt build. This will make you the nicest truck and in the long run will make you the most money if you ever decide to sell it. Sometimes here it take 3-4 trucks to make 1 nice truck especially if some kid has had it as they for the most part would rather bugger it up or take it through the biggest mud hole they can find. Good luck and look under it alot also it shows what the truck has been through. Jmo

They are rusty and not found
Rust does not scare me but rather the quality that does not corespond price for the moment
The photos show evidence of corrosion voluntarily.

floor boards,inner & outer rocker pannels and cab corners are easy fixes if you have any welding and fabrication experience.

Hello,
Bcowanwheels.
I found differences in the underbody of a jeep to another.
Someone has an explanation?
