    Default M715 Test Drive 1973 PV4 Magazine

    I just got this magazine today. It has a four page spread on the M715. Seems that there were some 1969 unissued M715 trucks. They got one and did a test drive. Hope you enjoy it. In my -20P Parts Book, they show hose clamps on the plug wires. I do not remember them being there when I was in Germany. But I didn't have a 1969 truck. So, maybe that was a later addition. You decide.

    Don,
    My '67 '715 had the hose clamps on the plugwires when I bought it. I thought someone added them.

    NOTICE:

    The valve cover is black. Or maybe it's green. Definately not aluminum finish. So that keeps the debate open as to what color it was.

    And I thought they were not painted.

    Hey Don, that was outstanding reading there. It appears to me that the truck got an awsome rating when all was said and done. Thanks for taking the time to put that article where all of us could see it. Job well done.
