Made it out of flat bar, 1/2" round stock, still need to finish welding, do a little weld cleanup. Add the top mounts to go under the hood and drill some holes. I wanted to make it look a little like a M-37 grill by using flat stock instead of tubing. I'll post finished pics when its Complete. Thanks Tim for the help. Fisherman

That is going to be very cool when it's done. And it's so close to original that when he's around other M715 guys they'll probably have to look a time or two before they see what's different about it! I'm glad I could lend a hand in making it.

You really need to get a new bumper though, Fisherman.

Oh wait....that's mine! :embarrassed:

Yes I really do need to get a new bumper since I gave you mine. LOL You should have seen it before I painted it. I had to put something on it. I couldn't let the truck out of the shop with fresh paint and that bumper. I think it looks fine. Needs some beaty marks in the new paint though. Fisherman

At first glance it looks like you modified a CUCV brush guard, but I know that's not the case. Looks good.
