no problem on my end. from my research the 69's was what was left over from 68 production and just was limited to finish out the mil contract with mfg.

20" rims are too big for these trucks

sorry,i wasn,t clear-i was interested in the custom rims idea you mentioned-my truck has UNIMOG axles.
i was seeking info on custom rims.

 

[bcowanwheels]

sorry custom tooling up cost so much now so all i build are 16.5 and by speciial order 16" rims for m715 axles.

Very Nice M-715, great work! I may not be looking for one to be in such pristine condition body wise. But I am searching for one that is good mechanically, with a decent body with out rot and such. Good all around vehicle from everyone that I have heard who has/had them.

Thanks Chris.Bob had to retire,like myself for health reasons,I'm just 50 worked for 30 years,never been so bored in my life.It's about all I can do to afford fuel for the Deuce.I just want to give Bob some praise for his great looking builds.Wish I could afford 1 or 2 and a M37 or 2. Dwight

Here it is all loaded up and going off to the customer. Engine is 4bt, stock trans, np202 t-case,4.56 gears.

Really nice! What would/does something like that cost? I've gotten M715 fever.

 

[bcowanwheels]

Best to start wtching ebay for one close to you. In the past $500.00 is a starting point but with scrap going so high now i,d say 1k + up.

 

[CHRIS UNGER]

I was wondering how fast that truck with the 3.9 and stock 4 speed goes? My truck is set up pretty similar and in 4th gear with a higher gear iI dont think I can go 60 mph.

Go to randys ring & pinion site and use there speed calculator.
4.56 gears, 1 to 1 in trans, 2500 rpm's, 39" tires
