My '68 M715 Build Progress Page

Sorry to read about you troubles. If it’s any consolation it’s making my choice to convert to a good old Chevy 350 seem better, lol. Keep posting though, even if it’s frustrating sometimes. We all love reading about others builds! There’s just so many details to learn about these trucks!

you might mention to him that you are "discussing" this transaction with other military vehicle owners.

...and you might mention your best buddy from elementary school is a rather successful attorney.

I suppose my tribulations all sound quite petty. In the big picture, is it really that important?

Important to the world relative to world peace or ending cancer? Not really. Important to you because getting what you pay for is expected and reasonable? Quite important and deserving of no apologies on your part.

Hearing about this is important to me so I can steer clear of this clown show. I also think it's important to publicize practices like these-- the court of public opinion, if you will.

Now, every time something bad happens with the truck, she just shakes her head as if to say, "Told ya so."... and she did. haha.

Yeah, I would like some cheese with my whine. haha.

My wife used to hate my truck. As I've done more work on it and made it sound better, ride (a little) better and comfy seats... She likes it now. Not love, just like.
We'll take it on local runs or garage sales and it gets a lot of attention. She gets to use her Parade Wave.

Here’s another:



Shorter walk (that’s a lake bed about 6 mi from Glendo, WY, with the old US 87 roadbed I strayed off of in the immediate background), cheaper tow than yours ($2200?? Holy house cats!!), but I totally understand the predicament.

Congrats! Glad you got it running again. Hope this engine is a good one.

[Don Cavey]

Yes! Good news, thanks for sharing the progress.

[brute4c]

Congrats! Hard work AND perseverance paying off!

Good to hear that you have finally been able to get it up and running! Have fun at the parade. I find 2 gear low range is about the perfect speed for a parade so you don't have to use the clutch too much.
