Canadian Project M715... Eh!

[militarypotts]

Quite the roll cage you put together. Nicely done.

OK, the race car is done. The M715 has a new home until it's done...

I designed and ordered laser cuts for the front bumper this week. I'll be sure to post a few pics when I get it welded up.

I've started on the design for the rear bumper and tailgate (my truck didn't come with one). I've found lots of good pics on the interweb. I'm not going to copy the original exactly, but want to give it the same feel. If anyone has any experience in making their own tailgate, feel free to chime in!

Thanks!

OK Guys. I spent the summer looking for parts. I've got a Chevy 350 small block, 4spd standard, NP205, GM Dana 60 front (DRW plus hubs and studs to convert to SRW) with linkages and steering box, and a 14 bolt 10.5" corporate for the rear.

It's go time this winter!

Quick question. I was originally going to convert the DRW front axle to a SRW, but started thinking... Has anyone ever used/seen an M715 on GM 1 ton dually wheels? With the wider DRW 60 front and narrower 14 bolt in the rear the spacing on the rims seems like it might work out really nice? Id run the front rims dish out, and the rear rims dish in just like a semi (but only single tires on the back)...

What do you guys think?

Hopefully this all welds together right! Lol

That should look awesome!
Would you share the prints or sale them?

second on that....I am considering running the dually axles (instead of the narrower newer SRW axles) on mine with whatever I need for backspacing to bring them in close to stock. The only concern I know of is not "centering" the wheel may cause premature wheel bearing failure...

I can send DFX/DWG files to whoever! Just PM me! Might want to wait until I tack it together to see if I got it right though, lol

Bringing the thread back from the dead! Had some project ADD there for a few years. Built two race cars and an ‘83 Camaro, but I promise she’s back in the shop getting worked on this winter! Just finished up the front bumper. My soft top is on the way and my digital gauges just showed up!

Looks nice,!! what does it look like from a side view ?

[Scassidy]

needs the brush guard for sure, but I tucked it right in. Receiver hitch is for the winch mount. I’ll make a receiver stand in the bed with the high jack for storage so that I can slip on the front or on the back if I need it.
