Got it welded up right (lockers are $$ and this is a low budget build) and everything put back together

Now im working on the brake lines. I installed dual pot master cylinder and need to make one more line and everything will be done and I can bleed the system.
One really cool thing I learned about these trucks is the vent system is all connected. The rear end is connected to the transfer case to the tranny to the
front axle and so on. I had to take all these lines apart and blow them out seeing as they were full of mud and corrosion. Broke one in the process so I will need to remake it... Just so happends to be the one that goes around the bellhousing and is the most complicated one. I also have yet to get it running. I know its something in the electrical side of it but dont know what. So i ordered new points, button, cap, and plugs (civi plugs) and will am in the process of making my own plug wires.

Went to Jeepfest in Jasper GA last weekend. What a blast!! While I was there I saw a few military vehicles. One five ton, a few willys jeeps, and one 715. I drove my military cj5 since the 715 isnt done yet. Here are some pics of the 715 that was there, guy was pretty cool and let me look it over and bs with him a while.
