    Actually if you fully read that you will see that the width limit is 102" which is the same width as my enclosed race trailer. He should be just fine. Welcome to the mitten, I'm north of Kzoo at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan.

    New M715 owner

    Welcome, there is a guy over at the M715zone.com who makes new cab bow sets. As for mirrors, you could try and fit a set off of a late 80's Grand Wagoneer as it uses the same door shell. Powering them is going to be the trick if your truck is still the stock 24 volt set-up. New Life Canvas is...

    good idea or am I crazy

    Why bother with the Por-15. I've heard of people having problems with it pealing up if the prep work is not done per Por-15 instuctions. Also if you are doing a Vietnam era Army marked truck, the propper color is #24087. And most people tend to stear away from Aervoe paint as it tends to fade...

    I'm across the lake from you on the Michigan shoreline, but I know there are several Wisconsin owners over at the http://www.m715zone.com Maybe one of them will be close enough that you could take a peek at them.

    Experimental 5/4t? - XM705

    Especially since around that time would have been the switch from Jeeps military vehicle division to AM General once AMC bought Jeep. Being that AM General designed and produced the HMMWV, I would assume the same engineers would have been involved in both vehicles.

    Looking to buy an m725

    Just remember that at highway speeds you will be driving the most un-aerodynamic vehicle out there. It's like driving a flying shoe box. Also they are fairly hot in the summer due to lack of ventilation. But they are fun to drive and I love cruising my around in the summer. Mine is all...

    Thanks Papabear, I had found a few pics of a couple M715 in Vietnam with M2HB's which was my inspiration to add it to mine.

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month - January VOTE HERE!

    Bump for the day crew. Thanks everyone so far, I'm floored by all the support for my 67' M715. This vehicle was marked for the 313th ASA out of FT. Bragg which was a unit my father served with in the early 60's. They were sent to Key West FL. during the Cuban Missile Crisis and stayed in a...

    1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 that I bought in Sept. of 2004 and began restoration in Dec. of 04' and rolled out of my shop April of 2005 all finished. Restoration was a complete frame off and every piece of metal was stripped to bare metal. This was my first MV and has led to my green iron disease...

    MV of the Month Nominations Jan 2015

    One pic is in my driveway and the other two are out on a public road right after a snow storm. The road crews had not been out to salt yet so I went for a nice ride in the fresh snow.

    MV of the Month Nominations Jan 2015

    I'll throw my hat in the ring with a nice winter pic of my 1967 Jeep M715. With all this cold weather I figured a nice snow pic would be fitting.

    M151A2 gun truck build

    Here is a link for M60 platform mounts. http://www.cranetechnologiesinc.com/M60PlatformMount.html I bought a couple of them to use on some airsoft A&K M60's I have. I had to mod them a bit to work with the airsoft rifles but not too bad and could still be used with a real M60. I had to add a...

    About to pickup my first M715. Learn me things.

    Just checked and the fuel pump on the M725 is an Airtex 6510 and I even found the box. The M715 has a Carter M3561 on it.

    About to pickup my first M715. Learn me things.

    When you input the vehicle type you get one that looks like this and is too long to fit with the Military dist. http://www.autozone.com/external-engine/fuel-pump/airtex-fuel-pump/jeep/j-pickup/1967/6-cylinders-3-8l-1bl/775700_806779_0/ but they do show a dual action pump with vacuum at...

    About to pickup my first M715. Learn me things.

    I was able to buy an Airtex one about 18 months ago for my M725 I just finished from Autozone for around $35. The listed fuel pump for the civilian 230 does not work with the military dist. due to the extra size of the military dist. and I can not think of which application the 6510 fit. I'll...

    About to pickup my first M715. Learn me things.

    It also looks like it has a civilian dist., plug wires and spark plugs and I would check to see if they converted it to 12v. A lot of the hard to find usually missing parts look like they are still on yours which is a great thing, especially the tailgate. What's missing looks to be common...

    Congrats on getting it home. Now have fun as you tinker with it.

    About to pickup my first M715. Learn me things.

    Ok let me get this straight, I'm a "jack leg" for swapping out the fuel pump to a civilian unit and electric wipers, yet keeping the rest of the truck stock. But your suggestion is to swap the motor, transfer case and a whole bunch of other things and that's OK. Talk about being a hypocrite.
