You mean "stock" besides the drivers seat, or is there a bunch of other modified cab stuff?Quote:

it seems stock enough for the term "stock" for me. its hard to think that any vehicle that isn't restored is going to be completely stock after 40 years of passing around. i understand what you are getting at, but to be brutaly honest almost none of the M715 in the world are going to be exactly as issued from the government 39 or more years ago. i have a 72 chevy, and aside from the lift kit, i would call it stock, even though it has axles from a 1980, an engine from a 94(yet to be installed) and a brand new painless wiring harness. my 04 is stock, except the tires, and the custom computer tune. i would still call it stock.
m 715 pis don t work on photo bucket
Enough of these pickups- here's the brinks mountain/desert model!

Great shots gang- hope to see some of you westerners at TDS at end of Feb.- others at FE Colorado-
That's using the term too loosely. Over the years, I've seen a lot of trucks listed for sale using the "stock" reference incorrectly. There nothing wrong with resto-mods and such, but I'd like to know exactly what I'm getting if I'm buying a truck. My previous post was submitted simply to create dialogue, as the truck in reference is not for sale and therefore, I couldn't care less what seats are in the picture.Quote:

I wouldn't necessarily care if these items were laying in the cargo bed, as long as they're included and could be easily put back into the truck without fixing a lot of butchering. Most items are exterior aesthetic pieces that I personally think are important, because it's what makes a M715 unique to me in the world of pick up trucks.
Therefore, I'll continue to correct the misuse of the term "stock" when I see it posted on this and other forums. :)
By the way, I've got a "stock" M715 that I might be selling someday. It's "stock" excluding the GM350, NV4500, NP205, SOA, Aftermarket Wheels, Aftermarket Big & Fat Tires, Custom Front Bumper, Wagoneer Hood, 12V Aftermarket Wiper Motors, Aftermarket Steering Wheel, Aftermarket Seats, Keyed Ignition, Custom Front & Rear Hitch Receivers, Custom Spare Tire Mount, Custom Roll Bar, Lock-out Front Hubs, Aftermarket Tailgate Chains, Custom Center Console, Aftermarket Gauges, Aftermarket Cab Heater, Custom Cab Bows, Aftermarket Front & Rear Light Assemblies, Aftermarket Antenna Mounts, Spare Fuel Container Mounts, etc., etc... Other than these items, it's bone stock. :oops:
Wait a minute, your the same guy that blasted me one time for cutting a foot out of the wheelbase of an old clunker M715, something about only 30,000 of them ever made. But I'm over it now.
Yeah, I couldn't believe that you did that molestation, but I was over it.Quote:

:p
since i am not to worried about the stockness of anything, as you know, i have a more relaxed view of what needs to be with the truck. i agree with #'s 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, and 13 and the brush guard and tailgate would be nice, but i can easily fab those myself, so im not as worried about them.Quote:

By stocker I mean, short of the paint job, drivers seat (although I have an original that needs canvass, hood blackout, taillights and turn signals and a fabbed ball hitch mount everything is all original including the 230. 24 volt also. Battery box is in the cab as well!
Ordinarily, I'd not hesitate to post some pictures of the four classic Jeeps...hmm...Quote:

Ordinarily, I'd not hesitate to post some pictures of the four classic Jeeps, but I'm afraid they'd end up on an unauthorized web site, such as "MySpace", without my approval.
i can understand that. still would like to see some pictures though.

"Is it just me or is everyone trying to be politically correct with my posts..:confused:
You asked which one is mine, if you would have read my welcome post when I joined, I stated I don't have an M yet, but I'm planning and searching now. Not trying to sound rude, just seems like every response to my posts is sarcastic.[/QUOTE]"
...I may get picked on because I have an M715 and don't get on the board enough. When I do get on the board, I may reply to a thread that I have not fully looked through and end up making myself look like an idiot. I will say this: Those are some great pictures you posted. I have seen many of them but there were many I have not. Member's trucks or not, They should all be members. Thank you.
Plus, you have some serious geniuses here who would make anyone look like an idiot, Binford, Oilcan, Etc. (without even meaning to).
Now I will go look at the rest of the thread and shut up. I will try posting all my pics and anyone is free to use them as they see fit.
What are you talking about? What posts? I've not seen any. Geniuses, Binford, I guess your right. Carry on the ramblings.
Here is mine, as it started :lol:

Hello guys. hope all is well with you. Long time, no visit.
Couple pics from TDS in So Cal, sandstone canyons. A 715 is about as wide as you can get in some. Check out the sediment levels and fault lines in that one vertical shot, lot of history right there in one spot.
Met M725Baja there, nice guy, great rig, love that flip forward hood/fender assembly.
Hope all your rigs are well or on their way. Broke mine there, need to pull motor, will down for a while.

What a cool area! How far does the narrow road travel through the thin canyon, like what's show in the photos? Nice looking truck. Do you ever feel claustrophobic?
the deep/tight parts are intermittent, some are for 50 yards or so then open up. that trail, there is only one way in and one way out.Quote:

thanks.
My truck is the first photo of this tread. Here it is with a top:

You all have nice trucks. The "OFF ROAD Monster" I personally do not like so much, even the idea to rise then generally is according to my attentions.

these are just the best all of them
Thought I'd keep this thread alive .... Here's mine

I like that cap on the back. Looks like it belongs there......
The inside is cool. I remember that one. I wanted to add some interior doors and change a couple things. And it was not even mine.:D:D
And not even one picture of my beater in this thread.:lol:
That's what made it look so cool to me tooQuote:

I need to really restore it some day.
It's the one in front.

What it does best. Besides burn a lil oil.

I actually almost parted with it. It's like family:D
When you said "beater" I was expecting a near basket case .... Nice jeep!
Thats a nice Jeep!! Why didnt you want to show it? Mine is the beater, but I still love it, even if it needs too much work. I like Warhammers too. Wonder what it will look like painted a different color? Never saw a cap look so good.
We almost had to have an intervention :DQuote:
