Canadian Project M715... Eh!

Got it in finally! If I planned to do a bunch of hard core off-roading I would have spent more time getting it up between the rails instead of hanging down, but since she’s going to be a Sunday driver and mall crawler...

Well watch out for the speed bumps at the mall. You just might hang up on one... Looking great and it looks like plenty of clearance to me. One step closer right? I will be lucky to get paint on my frame before snow flies. So glad to see progress even though it is not mine.

I love it when random things actually work without many mods!

I had some mustang brake system parts laying around from one of the race cars. Just in case anyone wants to convert to power brakes, SN95 mustang booster and master line up on the top 2 holes. I just made a 3/4” spacer, drilled the new holes, and the pushrod slipped right into the pedal like it was meant to be there! The master is a 2 port, so super easy to run to a proportioning valve (aftermarket proportioning valves are normally two in/three out).

Nice compact addition. And clean fresh paint is great to look at. Thumbs up!

You know sh*t is starting to get real when you pick up your brand new badass custom length 1410 series driveshafts! [emoji851]

Now that is some serious one ton stuff!! I just spent the last three evenings studying driveshafts and Universals in 1 ton 101.
Very nice!

I don’t know how they could call these 1 1/4 ton trucks with these little driveshafts... The 1410’s make the original seem tiny!

I know right... Those 1310's can only handle so much power. I think the spring packs and rear axle capabilities combined with how much could be loaded into the bed helped get it's 1.25 ton capacity. Going 1410 is sort of a correction. 1350's and 1410's have the same huge bearing caps at 1 3/8 dia,
and huge cross section that gives it the strength. 1410's being wider can offer way more angle forgiveness which is pretty cool. 35-37 degrees verses 20 degrees for a 1350. 1410 yield torque is a stunning 2700 foot pounds. Then you have tube thickness. 0.83, 0.95 and 120 wall. I would imagine M715's hopefully have .120 wall tubes.
Beautiful parts. I hope to get that far soon.

It’s amazing how many little odds and ends are needed to finish all the details. A few stops and another shipment from Summit Racing and she might just be ready to fire next weekend! Then on to the brakes and getting the interior together!
