I bought a 67 M715
Truck is fairly complete, stock drivetrain, soft top bows and frames, a factory 24 volt hot water heater with factory defroster ducts installed, manual throttle, new batteries and a large battery equilization box.
It runs and drives but the brakes are non existent at present...not sure why though the passenger rear sounds like it has a problem and I hear metal grating...hope I dont need a drum.
Here is the exterior view from several angles:

The bed has a hole in the floor just behind the drivers wheel well...no reason known for it to be there...previous owner has no idea...

The front of the bed has a hole on each side and in the storage box underneath is some thick metal with a hole drilled through it...previous owner said that before he had it, someone had a homemade rollbar using these locations.

Drivers floor was patched with a plate riveted to the transmission tunnel and I havent looked under the black tape...
Note the fuse panel added to the drivers side by the door.
One problem I have to work on is that the clutch linkage has been modded...the rod from the clutch pedal through the firewall isnt stock and if I push just the clutch pedal down, that rod binds on the brake pedal so I have to push the brake pedal to prevent that...though as mentioned above, no brakes at present.

Here you see the heater control cables, choke, manual throttle and blower speed cable running across the bottom of the dash. Key switch replaces stock on/off switch, still has starter button on floor. The oil gauge is the only non stock gauge.

It had some kind of radio setup, totally gone now, thats what these controlled but I dont think they are hooked to anything now:

There is a LARGE amount of great stuff foam...or something like it, taking up the rear bottom of the cab, inside and out...hopefully there is metl under there somewhere...its about 6 inches thick inside and sticks out several inches outside. You can also see the Battery Equalizer behind the drivers seat...gotta learn about that yet...

Passenger floorboard needs repair...could be worse...behind the passenger seat, more foam...the pouch on the wall behind the seat...I wonder when that got added. You can see more little holes from the hardtop...

As you may have noticed, the original military lighting is almost all gone. The 3 lever light switch is broken as the unlock lever just spins...not sure if its even functional...work to do...
Good news here...came with spare parts...2 different kinds of waterproof plugs...you can see the Autolite 2344 on the right and a Champion 633 on the left. Autolite has a narrower hex, longer tube for the plug wire and shorter reach into the cylinder. Those are correct for the M715...box of 6 brand new.
The Champion plug is pretty different and I wonder what the application for those is...havent had time to check that out yet...

There is also a spare inline fuel filter, carb kit and an electronic ignition conversion kit!

Mirrors are both mounted differently...and if you look at the doors, you can see where 3 screws at the top front mounted some mirror before...then, also, there are screw holes on the lower center of door, possibly like big truck west coast mirrors ? Now the passenger side is mounted on the front edge of the door and the driver side is mounted off the windshield hinge.
