M715 Truck Bed

[davidkroberts]

Im in the process of horse trading for a pair of M715 Jeeps. One is almost perfect and the other needs a bit of work but seems to be do able. The one that needs the most work needs a pickup bed to replace the utility flat bed on it. Can i use a M101 or M105 trailer bed for it? Does it work out deminsion wise?

Thanks,
Dave Roberts

I wish I could help. For A TON of info and wisdom on M715's go to http://www.m715zone.com/vb/index.php. The M715 gods/guru's live there.
Good luck,
Jeff

Yeah, head over to the Zone to see if any beds are hiding in the wood work somewhere.

I just happened to have my M715 parked next to a spare 101 bed yesterday. I walked by, looked, stopped walking and started thinking, Hmmmmmm?

I didn't put a tape measure to it, but I think one would fit with little modifications. However, all the cool stuff already built into the M715 bed would be missing such as the pioneer tool brackets, Gerry can mounts, 5" fuel filler neck, underbed storage lockers and the stout fender flares.

There are lots of M715 boxes out there waiting to be picked up because the bed floor is what rust out. People find a new bed normally instead of replacing the floor. If you don't mind redoing the floor, you will find some at pretty cheap prices.
