I'm building, well having built to my specs, an M715. I'm doing some of the work but I dont have time or equipment necessary to do it all.
18 years ago I brought an M715 and I did restore it to stock myself. It was awesome and rolled in many a parade. But an old 67
vehicle is less than reliable and I wanted to drive it whenever and to where ever I chose. So I decided to blaspheme the stock military
vehicle restoration gods and start a modernization retromod build. I am now full on heretic.
I wont post a sh-t ton of pics because I've done that over on the M715 Zone but I thought I will share here since I am also an FSJ fan
and have owned a couple Wagoneers in my time. Lets face it an M715 is just a beefed up Gladiator, ergo an FSJ.
I expect the build to be done in a month or so.
LS1 2001 Corvette 5.7
Holly Terminator X ECU & harness
SM465 - I wanted the granny gear
NP205
HillBilly Wizard Dana 60 SWD/Dana 70 Dually axles widened to 77" WMS to WMS, 4.65 gearing, 4wheel disk, ebrake, Detroit rear locker

and other stuff I probably forgot ....
Here it is when I bought it, then after the stock restore, then a few of the build underway.
