Welcome, and nice looking 715!
Yes, welcome to the party. Don't hesitate to post up more pix of your new truck-- it looks pretty nice.
Will do, still need to get it home first. But I will certainly post when I do. Looks like tons of great info and people on this forum.
Very cool and nice looking truck. Sincere welcome to the flock! I love these trucks.
Welcome:) Looks like you have found a nice one.
You have come to the lovingly home of the M715.
Like others have already said, we love pictures.

I had a F150 with 375,000k on it and never once wen to a mechanic. I have access to welders, torches, and other metal fab equipment. Couple generic questions:
1. I'd like to swap the axles to 8 lug and the consensus is go with axles out of CUCV. What type of modifications are needed to accomplish this?
2. 24v vs 12v what is the better way to go?
3: Power steering, my girl is a jeep girl and would love to drive this. How difficult to fit it with power steering?
Sorry for the questions that you've probably answered many times.
Thanks again

2. Depends on your accessories... the 24v system made it this far.... If you want to tack on alot of stuff...or if your wiring harness is in dire straights.. .definately affect the decision.
3. Power steering is one of the easier things to do to these trucks... multiple boxes are a bolt in affair.... google M715 power steering and majority of threads on the zone will pop up first telling the secrets.
Nice looking truck!
