Tank was a conventional M715 type. But I can tell it had been down. And no ground wire on the sending unit. Shouldn't there be one?

Interestingly, your serial number would be the highest registered M724 serial number in the registry.

There is a plate albeit home made on the tunnel. I will post a picture...

Thanks for this. Helped me a lot today with the VIN inspector getting mine ready to get tags.

Couldn't find the front one (POR-15 + some grinding when we redid the front end).

The rear one was found with just a bit of wire wheeling right over the rear axle on the M725.

Thanks.. saved the day for the most part.

Can you tell me which manual has this info? We have looked through the following manuals and are unable to find it:
TM 9-2320-244-20
TM 9-2320-244-20P
TM 9-2320-244-34

Does this answer it or did you already find the info? Not sure if you want to actually see in writing in the TMs...

Sorry I wasn`t real clear. I`d like to show a inspector a manual that refers to the serial number stamp, as I am trying to get a title for a m715 with no data plate.

Oops, ment m725.

This thread was started because there is no manual to view this information in...

Thank you, brute4c.
