    About to pickup my first M715. Learn me things.

    The nice thing is that if the stock fuel pump is shot, you can simply swap in the civilian model pump which is an AC 6510 and is fairly cheap compared to the military version and can be bought at most any auto parts store. The only thing that will not work is the civilian model doesn't have the...

    Experimental 5/4t? - XM705

    Yes there were updates to the motor, including relocating the rear oil line to the side of the block and changing it to a hard line. A few other motor updates and the moved the batteries behind the seats and added a passenger bench seat similar to the style in a deuce. And the raised the side...

    Experimental 5/4t? - XM705

    That is correct, these were made to compete in a contract bid against the upgrade M715E1 in the early 70's before the Army decided to scrap the whole idea of "combat trucks" in favor of civilian base vehicles which was awarded to the Dodge 880 series in 1976. Upgraded lighting to the new larger...

    Jeep "Commando" in Army Service

    Yep, fake. You can tell by all the extra crap added to it. The true sign of someone trying too hard to make it passable as a real military vehicle.

    Installing Canvas Top on M37

    Wow that sounded extremely painful to do. When I did mine, I just let it sit out in the sun for a while to get nice and warm. Slid right on without having to unbolt anything. A little pulling to get it over the rear bar, but not that bad. Pulled it nice and tight with the ropes on the back...

    Bridge Plate Yellow?

    Link is nice, but why pay double of what it cost to just grab a can of "school bus" yellow from Napa. It is the same color, it is just labeled that way because most people don't understand what the color chrome yellow really is. They think it is yellow tinted "chrome" paint.

    Stencils for a 52 m-37

    ModelerBrown??? are you still out there somewhere? I have yet to here from you about your order, and I'm still trying to figure out why you waited 4 months before trying to make contact? Especially since UPS tracking shows that it was signed for at the front door, so somebody in that house...

    Pics of my $12 gun mount

    Other than looking through the countless airsoft for sale forums to find one or occasionally the big airsoft retailers like Evike.com, Airsoft GI, or Airsoft Atlanta will have one in their boneyard sections for broken or returned guns. Here was a listing from Evike for one...

    Pics of my $12 gun mount

    Usmc yellow

    I have used two different colors from Duplicolor in spray cans before. DA-1663 is School bus yellow and has more of an orange-ish tint and DA-1687 is chromate yellow and is a bit of a brighter yellow. I have found both at my local NAPA.

    markings and color combination

    The registration number of 5D 7896 would indicate that it was built and accepted into the Army any time between 1960 through 1967. The numbering system changed in 1968 to include the year accepted at the very end of the numbers. If the data plate states it is a 1973 then it has either been...

    M725 engine and trans cost/availability

    I'm the odd one as I bought a M715 with a Pontiac 400 swapped into it and changed it out to put the stock 230 back in it. I love it and it runs great. Never has it left me stranded and I have put quite a few miles on it. The thing that I remember though is that these are fun cruise vehicles...

    freash look. before the snow flys.. 67 m715..

    Looking good, and that is a nice looking meat wagon in the last pic. With snow just around the corner it should be time to get the top back on it. I just put the top back on mine last night, as I feel that the chance of nice enough weather to run topless are gone for the season here in Michigan.
