    An M715 and the mystery of the "upside down hook" (or, how to properly tie down your cargo cover)

    Yes, that was the intended design of it, to pull the front edge of the cover around the front of the box and overlapping the front section to help make a more weatherproof seal on it, especially while moving.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    The rank turned out great. I was worried how well the little details in the sling would turn out.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Funny that this subject came up the other day here as I had just filmed an episode on the subject of bridgeweight plates for my Green Iron TV channel that came out today.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Every manual I've seen refers it to "combined" meaning the combined weight classes of the vehicle and trailer and is representative of the weights of the two vehicles over the combined length and distribution between the axles. The numbers don't represent tons, but are weight classes from the...

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Here is the specific page on Delta Team Decals that has the bridgeplate kits, Bridgeplate (deltateamdecals.com) Note that this kit comes with enough numbers to fully restore a plate and is pretty reasonable for only $10 with free shipping.

    US Air Force lettering

    Amarillo is the font used on planes but does not seem to be used on ground vehicles.

    Problem identifying proper color?! 34052

    34052 is the flat color that was used on WWII Marine equipment. The semi-gloss 24052 was used on vehicles like those M37's. If you are having trouble finding good 34052, then you should be looking at either of the 2 major military vehicle paint vendors. Army Jeep Parts in PA and Rapco in TX...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Yes the joy of getting your fingers just right to get the nut started on the threads. It was even more complicated by trying to not trip over the tripod while filming or blocking everything with your back as you try and do a limbo to fit your hand and arms into the small space. Your story is...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Yes, on the stock setup, the power goes to the start switch on the trans hump. So that location works well and doesn't need a ton of cable to reach it. I also felt that pain when cutting into a perfectly good fender to add them to all my M715 and M725's. Here was a video from when I did the...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Looking like a great project. As for the hood, a hood from any the FSJ Jeep's (J-truck, Cherokee, and Wagoneers) will fit. You just need to add the holes for the hood tie downs and blackout light brackets. And depending on the year you may have to remove the front cross bar from the civilian...

    M715 door mirrors.

    Why, my post has some good information for someone down the road who is looking for those parts as to where they can find them.

    M715 door mirrors.

    It's all simple pieces, the arms and mounting brackets are the same as a M38a1, M38, ect... https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/product/mirror-arm/ And the mirror heads are the same as the M37 and M151 or any of the military vehicles that used the rectangle mirror heads. A quick search turned up...
