Gillespie is usually fine out in the weather, it's the Aervoe paint that doesn't do well when left outside, it tends to fade to pink. I painted my M715 with Gillespie in 2004 and it still looks great today and painted my deuce in 2005 and it had to spend a summer outdoor while I built a new barn...

I'm going to agree with others on this on the parking bake. I have done it before as well but caught it before I got too far and ended up in smoke, but you sure could smell it.

4H 1420 is most likely the original hood registration numbers as it fits the pattern for a 66' truck so why add it in 2 spots on the bumper? Also DSPTBN is way too many letters for a bumper. Back in the day they were way more simpler about it compared to todays smaller markings. According to the...

I would guess it more as WIANG 32-I 132SPT (star) B- (order of march) this would be the vehicles place in convoy line up. If you need any help you can check out my decal site, http://www.deltateamdecals.com Spend a little time on google images and search that outfit and see if you see any pics...

From the TB 43-0209 from Oct. 1976 the two best looking candidates to make a pattern out of are the M548 tracked vehicle and the M656 truck. They are some of the only vehicles with a cab over design. It should be easy to transfer these patterns and add to them in areas that might be needed.

Body overall shape is similar to the old M548A1 Tracked Amphibious Cargo Carrier. You should be able to expand the shapes to make it fit.

Such a cool track and recovery story. Plus I love the weathered paint.

There is no rules against posting pics of you vehicle with the fake gun. I routinely take my M715 with a full metal M2 replica and propane simulator to all kinds of shows and parades and even come home sometimes with a trophy when they have a class for it. But it's funny because I call it being...

Thanks, Yes I can help you out with markings. Like others have said, to come up with a set, start looking at units and the time period you want the truck to represent. Then spend a little time on Google searching that unit. Start with the major unit and look for the sub units within the main...

If you need the connectors inside the light housings, it will probably be easier to just buy new lights. I don't think I have seen the pieces available seperately.

Yep putting some regular 16" tires on for the time being to move around should be fine. If you plan on making it long term, you need to use radial tubes instead of the stock bias tubes otherwise the tubes can fail. I've had 36x16 Swamper radials with radial tubes on my M715 since 2004 without...

I bought the soft top and rear cargo canvas years ago at a show or on eBay. I know WeeBee Webbing makes the soft top but I don't think they make the full rear canvas. The Gillespie #24087 definitely darkens with time. And also really depends on the lighting. On bright sunny days it looks more...

I painted mine with Gillespie OD 24087 back in 2005 and it's still holding up well. I do store the truck inside though.

Check to make sure the pin on the distributor gear didn't break and allow the gear to move. It can cause all kinds of timing issues if it did.

I can make all those in either paint mask or decals. You can check out my decal site http://www.deltateamdecals.com/home.html and although I don't have them listed separately, just tell me which ones you need and I can put together a quote for you.

We are just over a week away and I was just checking to see if any members had any interest in displaying for the Heroes on the Dunes on Saturday July 20th.

We will be having a Military Vehicle display during the Heroes on The Dunes event on Saturday July 20th. The Heroes on the Dunes event raises thousands of dollars for veteran’s charities each year and brings in 75 disabled veterans and families for a free weekend experience at the Silver Lake...

Used to hold the hood open. It hooks into one of the windshield tie downs on the hood. It keeps a gust of wind from blowing the hood closed on someone who is working under it.

They are troop seats for a M715. Yes I do have another set for a M715 that I would sell if someone needed them.

Well, it looks like I'm getting a day hallpass from the boss to run down on Saturday. I'm bringing down a set of troop seats for a guy and she said as long as I don't bring back too much stuff. Ha Ha
