New M715 x2

[davidkroberts]

I just horse traded my 1970 Gama Goat for two M715 trucks. I couldnt be happier. I really like a nice project truck and trucks that are done are a bit boring so here we go again. Just as I finished the Unimog another project comes along.....

The yellow hardtop has the stock drivetrain with heater and a few dings but no body rot. The red no-top has a Chevy drivetrain w/ automatic 12V conversion and siren. I just picked up two gallons of Randolph milspec OD green ($15 a gallon).

so what are you planning on doing with them?

restoring them?

or SPECIALIZING THEM!!!

somewhere in between i guess. I take the approach that yes they are historic vehicles but they are also MY historic military vehicle. I like to keep the original look, idea, and capabilities to an extent but heaters and cup-holders rock.

Dave i am still at work in Alaska but can't wait to get home to play with my new Goat project. Thanks for the trade. I will be in touch when i get home. I think a trip to Hall's is in store for me. The goat made it home and of course the nephew had to try it out!!! Thanks for suggesting this site. I think i will need all the help i can get on maintenance tips and finding ol goat parts. Ben

If they are complete enough, you have one to restore to original, and one that has already been re-engined and you can modify the heck outta it. Nice save!
