It has started again!

[Beast]

Well I've made my decision to take my M715 back to stock. I know alot of people will be shaking thier heads at someone who is going to take a good running V8 400 out to put the stock 230 I6 back in. But I feel that it will only improve the value of my super clean truck on down the road. I don't DD my truck or use it for off-roading, so why not go back to stock. Monday I picked up a clean good running 230 from Tomahawk715 and will be acquiring the rest of the piece I need to do the swap back. This does mean that in the near future there will be a few nice pieces for sale for anyone going to 12v and a V8.

Glad to see you made it home safe and sound with the motor/trans-Let me know on your progress with it. Should have stayed around for the festivities-ended up trying to remove that J trucks bed with the backhoe-seems those bolts are a bit stronger than I thought Anyway-nice to meet ya Dave-hope to see you down in Silver Lake next year-ought to have the truck done by then.

Dave,
You have all my respect for this choice. I cant wait to see how beautiful it becomes now...not that it has any ugliness anywhere!

I think your making a wise chioce. In the future a stock M715 will be worth more than a modified one and your truck is so good now it will only add to it. The only thing left after you make the swap is get some NDT...or at least a second set of rims with NDT to swap out at shows...

I'm headed to the inlaws this weekend, who live just south of Akron, Ohio so I plan on trying to sneek away a bit on Friday to get over to Sam Winer's to see if I can scrounge up a few more bits and pieces I need to do the swap. The main thing I'll be looking for there is a good trans crossmember, as the one in my truck had been modified to move trans forward 2" to help with firewall clearances. Also a military 24v dist. as the one from Tomahawk has a civi 12v unit on it. But he did send me home with a nice box of extras that he was not going to use; a good intact front wiring harness, stock early style turn signal and dist box, and a spare 1920 carb.

Joe, I'll try and give you a call if I get up to Cleveland. I'll have the Leather Nattie number with me.

Dave, I'm just east of I-275, and 30 seconds off of I-696, you should plan to stop by my place, I think I can set you up with the harness, and the cross member. Maybe even the dist.
Good luck returning it to stock

I have an altinator that I was trying to sell, but found out it needs rebuild. If you swing by the shop I'll give it to you...

[airborne]

Are you going to get rid of the 12vdc dist? How much if so? I'd like to have it.

[Ronner]

The way you do vehicles I'm sure it will be the new Zone logo!! (Sorry Al)
On the way thru if you want to detour by Lansing I have a 230/T98/200 you can have plus some other shi.. uh, pieces of value. No laughing at the state of my 715 though or you get nothing!! Nothing I say!!!
Call me if you will be in the area. (517) 749-9324

Well, everyone, thanks for the offers. I have already made it to Ohio. But maybe I can make the swing back towards Detriot next week and help clean out a few parts from some of you guys.

Thanks,
