Good job...thank you,your video.

Nice work! I need to do the same thing.

Those look great!

Good job

Happy Independence Day from Minnesota.

I have one

Have you ever driven the 715 off-road? I wonder how well they handle sand?

Nice one bro 👍

Love the Jeeps. I also appreciate the mom in the jean shorts.

Gosto M38 más minha paixão é o M38A1 ❤❤❤

Great video, thank you for making it. I just got my dream truck, 68 m715 . This was very helpful. 👍👍 also what size swamper do you have on it?

Nice M725, M38A1, M715

Nice job Dave. She looks sharp and ready to show off. I love how you pull up to these shows and jump out..no waxing, no tire shine, just there to have fun…as you should!

Great content as usual Dave. I had to chuckle at the moving of the vehicles, as I have to do the same thing. It's one of reasons that I don't drive them as much as I would like.

Great episode

Good job.

I worked as a Diver on an Air Force tracking station, we had a M715 we had to get to alot of beach landing sites with rudimentary trails, the thing was a beast along with an M37 that we used this was in the 80s still going strong. They finally DRMOd the 715 and M37 I bid on both but only got the M37 for $800, there was another dude bidding against me for the M715. We used those and an old CJ3b too go offroading, the M715 broke the frame, it took us for ever to get it back finally recovered it with a M935 tow rig.

i like the color that olive brown green drab! Can you tell me what paint you used where you got it?

I wonder if a tow rope similar to the one used on the World War 2 jeep would fit in the tool box under the passenger seat? 🤔

I've seen surplus grenade shift knobs in the Quadratec catalog back in the early 2000s. I'm not sure if they still sell them since I haven't looked in years.

I've got a 1965 Willy's Jeep CJ6. If nobody buys my jeep, I'd like to get seats like yours since someone installed a couple of riding lawnmower seats with no backrests in my jeep.

Good job

When preparing a military vehicle for display or parade, how do you research the correct configuration? For example, let's say you want to configure an M-715 as it may have been used in the USAF on a US base in 1970. Are the paint colors different? What about decals?

I have always wanted to go. Maybe next year…

Long route. Great showing of support

Good Job

Long parade route. The flag bearers must have been tired.

Midwest Millitary in Prior Lake, MN has parts for your trucks' and restore them. They're not too far away from me. Just letting you know since it's close to the State you're at. They buy and sell military trucks and trailers as well.

I took off the bridge plate on my 1986 m1008 when I got rid of it and put it on my 2021 Willy's Jeep Gladiator since it's sarge green and it looks like it was meant to be there.

Thanks for sharing. You really need to know your stuff. I don't know what I'm looking at. I love to hear the stories about the vehicles and how they obtaimed them or if they were driven by a famous person.

Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks for sharing, I hope to make it to this show sooner than later. Thanks again.

Great vid. I eye balled that tailgate all morning and just decided I didnt need it and glad someone else got the good deal.

That copper air line was always a problem on that engine. We put in numerous Equipment Improvement Recommendations (EIR), over the year to replace the copper line with flexible line, but TACOM always disapproved our recommendation.

Good job

ผมมี 1คัน M715

Simple answer: one of each! I have a restomod M715 and a near original M725!

Good job

Always good practice to clean and service all terminals and cables when changing batteries. Best to use terminal pullers and terminal spreaders when installing terminals and not to pound terminals on posts. It is possible to break the post internally. As we were taught in the service. Good content, enjoyed the video. Many people don’t understand how 24vdc is created by 2 12 volt batteries. Semper fi

I like original, but do appreciate modified. If it is completely original, I would like it to stay original… Bobbing the bed makes me cringe. Mine is modified, but was missing a bunch of stuff, including the original engine. Mine is staying modified. I agree: you do you

I like the middle ground, original but if its something could have been modified or changed at a unit level mod then i try to keep it looking and operating like that.

I love the motor pool reference. The military vehicles we drove took a beating. I know the motor pool SGT "Shorty" was always upset whe we returned from the range. I took those vehicles for granted and never dreamed that I would be interested in them. Still working on acquiring my first military vehicle. Thanks for your expert knowledge.

You are very correct in your thinking. There are the purists and the creators. I never knew that your M715 was originally a restomod. What I thought was pretty good was when you put the 230 back in yours, you did the civilian carburetor on it and I’m sure it runs much better with the Holley 2 barrel carb than the original 1 barrel. I have a 1955 M38A1 I bought over 25 years ago and the matching M100 trailer. The Jeep had left the Marines and went to the county for over 30 years where it was basically demiled. After I bought it, I spent a lot of time trying to put it as much back to stock as possible. I drove it for years with the factory drive train in it and 4 wheeled it for years in stock form, pulling the trailer everywhere I went. Even showed it at an off road show with cammo nets like a diarama type set up with cots , web gear, sand bags, everything, had a blast and took 1St place, best of show. But the old F-head just wouldn’t do what I needed. So I left it as military as I could on the outside and went to a stock small block Chevy engine in it. I still run trails with it, and still pull the trailer with it with all my base camp gear in it. I love my old M38A1 and it’s little quirk’s. Enjoy your channel very much and your content is great. Keep up the great work your doing. My favorite thing to do with my Jeep is to take the Jeep and trailer to shop for Christmas trees with the wife every year.

Very cool. Good job.

Really enjoyed this video. Yesterday while out I saw an older GMC truck with a cab modified to be open air. Reminded me of an M715

Looking for an opinion - What do you think of the fiberglass tops for 715? I am going to visit Boyce in Utah next week and he says he may not make anymore, I have to store my truck out doors and i think it would be a better choice all season and pack away my soft top for summer use. What do you think?

My 715 has stickers for both generator and alternator under the hood, it is a fairly early sample that just never got a lot of use so the under hood engine stuff is pretty intact. It does have the alternator maybe in 67 they didn't really trust that new fangled alternator so it was set up to run either.

I agree about RTFM. Military TOs and TMs where written with lowest common denominator in mind. Easier than using a Hanes manual. 😂

I enjoy your channel you have a lot of awesome military stuff have you ever shown all your vehicles.
