(Please read this post with the mindset of a conspiracy theorist...you know the type, we didn't go to the moon, Hillary doesn't take moonlight broom rides, we all killed Kennedy, etc....Twilight Zone music in the background helps!!)

The M715 family seem to be the black sheep of the Military Vehicle world....BUT WHY???

Well lets look at the facts:

M...13th letter of the alphabet
The numbers in M715 & M724 added together =13:
7+1+5=13
7+2+4=13
The average of all the model numbers added together, rounded down, is 13
715 is divisible evenly by 13: 715/13=55 and 55 is a pretty good top speed for a stock truck...coincidence??
230(engine)+98(tranny)+200(tcase)+70(rear axle)+60(front axle)+16(rim size)+2(number of tires driven stock, open diffs, in 4wd)=676 which is 13 X 13 X 4 or 13 squared X 4...4 being the number of models in the family and 13 squared showing the curse factor at work!!
First model year 1967, 6+7=13!!
13 inch drums...c'mon....theres a dead giveaway!!
When the military setup the parts codes for the M715 family, they assigned the first 4 numbers as 1165...which of course total 13. This is for any part that is specific to the M715 family.
The military manuals for the M715 family all start with the numbers:
9-2320-244...adds up to 26 or 13+13!!
The Federal Stock Number of the M715 Without Winch, the lowest FSN of the family is:
2320-921-6365...add them up, 13+13+13!!
The FSN of the M726 With Winch, the highest FSN of the family is:
2320-921-6833...again 13+13+13!!
And where were they made...Toledo, Ohio, USA...13 letters!!!

Now that you are convinced that a conspiracy to curse these fine trucks was perpetrated, I hope that you will join me in exposing this coverup and forever laughing in the face of those who have tried to curse us....BECAUSE WE RULE ANYWAY!!!!!!
