Slave Cable receptical
Should their be any kind of rubber gasket between the slave cable receptical and the side body of the truck, or is it just bolted to the body, metal against metal? Also, is the passenger side rear (behind door) panel the correct location? Thanks guys.

It goes on the passenger fender. It is in the 34 manual

Thanks Don, that answers that question. Is their a saw that cuts a 2" hole thru metal? I'm sure their must be. I have the high speed drill, but don't think I have the hole saw for metal. I do have a friend that most likely does tho. It'll be my next little project.

You can most likely get a hole saw for 2 inches or just work with the tools you have and enlarge a hole to 2 inches. Hole saws "may" be expensive. Or you might go to Harbor Freight and buy one. The price is usually cheap enough that if you ruin it doing the job, nothing lost!
BTW, no mention of a rubber gasket in the book...
Staff Sergeant
Judging from my M35 and several other trucks I've looked at, the slave cable plug is mounted directly to the body with no gasket.

I have never seen a gasket on the older 2 pin plugs. The newer NATO plugs do have a rubber gasket on them. Sometimes.
Remember if you didn't build it you can't call it yours.

Even though the manual calls for the slave cable receptacle to be mounted on the right front fender. I have seen a few mounted just aft of the passenger door, towards the top of the cab sheet metal. Shorter cable run to the batteries.

What's funny is that on other trucks, like my M37 and M38a1, the slave recpt. cable goes to the possitive side of the starter switch and not to the batteries. And on my M35 it goes to the batteries like the M715 should. I wonder why they changed how they mount, and if there is any advantage to one way or the other. Because with the M715 suppose to mount to the pass. fender, the shortest route would be to the possitive side of the starter switch and not all the way to the batteries.

If you look closely to Cornholio's new M724 maintenance truck, he has in fact TWO recepticles located to the rear of the drivers side door:
