Looks like my M715 (and another M880) will be showing up tonight!! Can't wait to play with the 715!!

Pics as soon as it's here.

The M715 is a nice military vehicle...very under-appreciated in my opinion. A little surprising that no one has responded to your thread. Had you posted about a bobbed deuce or a question about how much you should spend on a deuce at auction, you would have had many posts already.

Looking forward to seeing pics of your new ride. Good luck!

Always liked the looks of the 715 as well, My dad owned a J10 for awhile, and the 715 always reminds me of it.

I too really like the M715. There was one in a parade that I was in, the owner put on 9.00-20's on re-drilled Deuce rims. I will look for the pictures.

I always wanted an M715 until I bought my '83 J20.

The problem with M715s is the engine. If you are not a history buff and want to keep it original, you will soon want to change it out. The engine is why few M715s went to Vietnam; the Army rebuilt M37s instead.

Good luck,
Arlyn

715s are a very cool truck.

Not a great picture but this is the one on 9.00-20s with Deuce rims.
The Cub Scouts really seemed to like it.

Lots of them out there with the original straight-6, many owners swap in a V8.

Mine came with a Ford straight-6 swapped in by a prior owner (most people think it is the stock engine at first glance!).

MANY good parts sources still out there...

Greg, Do you have any more info on those wheels? I've got a M715 and a bunch of duece wheels around here and you've got me to thinking.

He just machined new holes and bolted them on. They fit the wheel wells great.

M715

Hey Rottiedog,
Where did you find the M715? I think I was driving mine the last time you came to our meeting in Wilson at Daves house. Are you going to Clayton on the 4th?
