I recently acquired a M715 and want to replace both axles with Unimog axles. I want to know if this can be done or not and what Unimog axles will be perfect for replacing the original ones.

Has anyone done Ford superduty axles? the early (pre coil) ones seem to be pretty close, front spring pads seem to be within an inch and the rear calipers seem to clear the 715 leafs.....
Came from a mid 80's Penske rental delivery cube van. PM me for price and details. Located in upper Michigan.

Tried 93, rear wouldn't work with springs in stock location, front might but these axles are really narrow. Id go chevyQuote:

Has anyone posted up the stock spring perch center to center measurement? I haven't seen it anywhere, but it would be helpful to be in this thread or the one Brute has for axle specs....Thanks!
It is posted here somewhere...Quote:

Let me know if You want the front or rear axle measurement, and I can actually measure what I have sitting on the used parts rack ( 2- stock 70's ) (1- stock 60 ) a newer Dana 70 HD with more splines, 8 lug and drums (1) and a 14 bolt AAM 1050.(disk , with 8 bolt lugs)
One of the latter 2 axles was only 1/2 inch off stock on the perches, I do remember.. and could have used it as is...
If I wanted 8 bolt lugs on the rear and carry 2 spares :(
I can get those measurments for you in the AM, unless someone has the exact specs handy again.
I think I was using WMS to WMS, and then also the perch width in my tests...
But I slept since then.
one more thing to consider is the "offset" of the pumpkin ( Carrier ).. as they vary from stock as well !
can anybody tell me if the 1977 Dodge cucv axles work??? I found a possible donor truck if they will.
