well im updating again, sorry its been so long working hasnt given me allot of time to play with my stuff.
First I cut the "Mad Max" brushguard off. Ive also installed the tailgate and have put a rolled in bedliner "raptor brand" in the truck bed, door panels, and floorboards. The bedliner is great. Im not a traditionalist so im probably being cussed for ruining the last rust-free M715 bed in existance. I missed a few spots with the brush so im going to do some touch up with gloss black spray paint to finish it off in the interior of the truck.
Next on the list is a carb rebuild for the stock 230 tornado engine. Installing the pintle hitch and fixing the tail lights is up next week. The Beachwood Canvas vinyl top is supposedly coming ,eventually, so the final paintjob is waiting until I get the crappy hardtop cut off. Im leaving the tires until the paint is done and am installing a set of Co-Op Grip Spurs on stock wheels for just running around. I also have a set of Gama Goat tires with a wheel center conversion that I will keep seperate and will use when I feel like being different.
Im also including the M101 trailer I bought but havent picked up yet from GL. Who cant use another trailer right?
The truck is great and will probably become my new knock-around "No" I wont help you move truck. Im still up in the air about a engine/tranny/gearing conversion. If I do it will be a 350 chevy or cummins 4bt whichever i find first at a good price.
