Got a great email from a member with around 10 vins from M715's in the islands out there...he wrote the following:

I travel to the Big island every year or two and have to stop in and check out these working m715’s that serve on a macadamia nut farm. They are all painted yellow and have been patched back together continually from the continued hard use. The bed is original but modified to dump.
How about this view:

That's really cool. I bet that's one busy mechanic.
Good point!!
That's the most M715's I've seen lined up since I got out of the motor pool in the army.
Very cool. I wonder if they still have the 230s.
Amazing!
Unstoppable! Very cool.
So does this make macadamia nut cookies the official cookie of the M715zone?
I didn't lift the hoods to check on whether they were running stock engines. I do know they were converted to 12 volt since there was a lack of battery boxes and aftermarket lighting.

That's awesome! Work horses. I like the leaves stuck in the front of the first one.
I've never tried or made macadamia nut cookies. Which is better? With white chocolate or semi sweet chips? The vast majority of recipes were for white chocolate. Guess I'll have to try both...

Very cool and sad at the same time.
Those trucks look like they've had a very tough life, but at least they're still working.
Those things are beat up from the feet up!
Beat? Maybe just overly loved! LOL
Yeah, beat, like the service road north of Cheyenne that I discovered in the 715 the other day: patches on patches where there weren't potholes. Torture. You can find plenty of examples of "loved" around here, and they don't look like those flogged nut haulers (anything Jeepdan touches, for example).
I am really happy to see a large group toiling away day after day in their endeavors. Plus I get to go to the islands to see them!
