The radiator cowling was cut/welded (back to close to stock configuration) by a previous owner to stick a civilian radiator in, I'll have to look at it again to see if there is something resembling what you describe there. My other M715s share some of the same bed holes, like the large ones in...

Gee, thanks Tim!! rofl Some of the holes are stock military, and the six in the side wall near the right front look like they could have been for an antenna mount, they are cleanly drilled and evenly spaced, the hole below definitely looks like it was there for the cables to go through. The...

Well, for various reasons, including travel and doing some immediately required work on yet another project truck (yes, I know :rolleyes:), I wasn't able to get back to the M715 bed until a couple of days ago, when we had a warm sunny day (mid 70s). What had surprised me before was digging...

I like the cargo cover! When I finish my diesel 715, it will have bows, troop seats, and tarp. I have a complete set I will be using, so if you need measurements of any of it, holler. (I don't have a tarp yet). It's been a long time since I've seen oil in cans! I remember display racks of...

This should be interesting, I always thought they were interesting vehicles. Cheers

Well, I hadn't asked myself the question, yet, but glad to know the answer! Cheers

This is the outer plate, not the item from the manual listed above. It is attached with four bolts through the dash. I have seen them mounted this way, and flipped with the cutouts to the left. Not all trucks have them - both my M1009s do, my buddy's M1008 does, my M1028A2 does not. Cheers

The bracket is actually for mounting the chemical agent alarm unit (ABCA-M42), but very few civilian owners use it for that. I have not seen one with an NSN nor have I seen reference to nomenclature other than "mount bracket". That said, the military often used them to mount...

She's a beauty alright!! :love: Cheers

You have our attention....

Welcome aboard! Cheers

One of the main things to consider is the condition of the original plastic, they do tend to break easily now. As mentioned above, I'd probably go for a replacement unless you are a super stickler for originality. ;) Cheers

Looks like 383 green on my screen, so looks "right". [thumbzup] If you were going for "Marine green" (24052), yeah, it is a bit bright. But it looks super as is. Cheers

I have used Novus 2 polish for over 20 years. We used it at work to keep the lenses on emergency vehicle light bars clear. When I got my Unimog, it had a cloudy soft-plastic rear cab and side windows that you couldn't see through, so I tried the Novus on those. Turned the plastic crystal...

Much as I liked Gertrude in the black, I reeeeeally like how she looks green!! Cheers

This probably sounds more negative than I meant it to. I was just thinking that of the multiple vehicles I own, all but my two M931s are older than 1988, so under this law as presented above, the 931s are seemingly the only vehicles I could drive in Kansas, and in 3 years I'd have to park them...

Better than nothing, I suppose. Cheers

That "turkey" is actually pretty cool! Cheers

This thread is a tad more....interesting...than most months.... rofl Cheers

Our contribution to the Veterans Day parade in Austin this morning. Started out raining and murky, but dried up for the parade and the 50+ mile drive home. In the lead is my M37, on long-term loan to Reloader64's USAF veteran dad, followed by Mrs Reloader64's tan M1009, Mrs M813rc's M1009 and...
