M715 restoration

[Mikel]

I traded my spare M715 to a friend and he started the restoration right away. The truck was down to the frame in one day...

Have you met Brian in Branford?

Don't think so... But I'm always looking to meet other FSJ mani...er... aficionados :thumbsup:

Having a heated shop, forklift, torches and four people does help a bit :rolleyes:

[AMC-J/20]

You didn't seem to confident on the 4 people part :D . . .

The more people you got the more trouble ya have ;)

Just an idea tho not always :thumbsup:

Brian owns Brian's 4WD, he's big into older stuff, military & very odd older Jeeps such as the AgriJeeps........might be in your phone book locally, I can give you his # as well, he's basically in downtown Branford.....an excellent source for info/rebuilds/parts. He can sometimes be hard to get a hold of, but a good guy......nice shop, great connection.

Good luck with the project!

These are Hercules Trail Digger. I was going to use them in my 6x6, but I only had four and could not find another pair, so I gave them to my friend.
