Thread: M715 Transformation project

    Default M715 Transformation project

    Well here it is,

    this is my M715, it was built by my Dept 25 plus years ago and was used faithfully for many years, I am in the process of putting in to some form of an M715, and will show pics of my progress, it has 7000 original miles on it.

    I think it looks pretty cool the way it is.

    it is and was always a cool brush truck, but plan on making it a practical truck again, plus we are getting a 2 1/2 ton from Forest Fire Service, so the pump, and tank, etc are getting put on that.

    sweet deal. i like the dual red lights in place of the blackout light. I was thinking about getting/building another bracket for the passenger's side of mine to do the same thing...

    Ok here was next next phase, cutting off all the added bumpers and running boards, and the tailboard. now I have to finish cutting the wheel wells to to stock width, will leave the capped diamond plate since its welded to the fenders and bed, but it will retain its stock size

    Wow, removing all that weight kind of looks like you put a lift kit on it! Looks good!

    the front bumper was well over 300 lbs, I would say the front bumper, running boards, tailboard, and cage was probably 600+ lbs. plus the stainless tank, pump, hose reel and piping was probably another 400+ lbs

    I like the hard top it has on it. Not like most I've seen.
