Yes, but when they are used for a for sale pic then it is also not fair to any potential buyer who thinks they are getting a nice piece like mine in the pics. I would be pissed if I bought something and show up to pic it up and it is not the same as what was pictured.
Thanks to the mods for...
During a search once, I came across a couple of pics of a M715 with an M60 bed mount from Da Nang air base Vietnam. The pics were listed as 1970 and show two airmen in the truck.
I am the one who was making the correct seabee logo markings. You can see them on my decal & paintmask site, index I used Keith's template to make a scan and render it to a cut program. I can make them as either a decal or a paintmask.
One pic is of the decals I made for Keith and the...
Welcome from south of you along the west coast at the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. You'll be hardpressed to find a better bunch of "green nutjobs" than those of us around Michigan.
If you need it, I have a complete manual set on PDF I could send you. The motor is just the standard military 4A084 motor and there sould be tons of info out there on it as it was used also in the 10kw gensets. If you are not getting gas, the fuel pump may be shot, or the lines maybe plugged...
Drive it over here to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. 3.5 hour highway trip to test the reliability and then a chance to play on the dunes with the truck for a while then make the run back. Should be a good test.

Let me know, because I would be very interested in takes some of the parts off your hands for you. Even if the shelter is nasty, it can be cleaned up pretty easily, and I have a full patch kit in mine so I have everything needed to repair it also.
If you are going to scrap most of the guts of the thing, let me know I might be interested in them as spares for mine. I have a 1968 M51 north of you in Michigan They are quite fun to play with, but really take 4 grown men to lift it off and get set up. Here are a bunch of pics of mine...
I think you are refering to me, I believe I made your decal/stencil kit for you Go Hot229. My decal and stencil website can be found here, index And I can help you with whichever markings you choose.
Yep, I hated to miss Clare, but the wife just didn't seem to understand that green iron was more importaint to me than one of her families wedding. I was not really looking for a new truck, but this one was close and claimed to be in good shape, and was reasonably priced if it was in good...
Yes, the M715zone has the s/n registry at the top in the nav. bar. And for Vietnam era uniforms, the best I've found is, Vietnam: Vietnam War militaria, military surplus, military collectibles & more.
