M715 Finland

[M715Fin]

After a few hours of fishing, the rear axle tubes were cleaned. Now all the bearings and gaskets have been changed.

I cut off ends of the cardan and next must to cut a suitable piece of hydraulik cylinder tube and weld the ends back.

Wow was did someone drag that truck out of one of your thousand lakes? I've only seen trucks that bad that had been in floods. Good work on bringing it back to life.

Really...weird...I see them all...what the heck....

Yeah I can't see pics either. I tried on both my phone and labtop. Nothing. Not sure what is going on. I have never had any issues seeing pics before with any other post.

k8icu : I don't know where the car has been a submarine I haw told that the car would have served at FORT SILL Oklahoma. And donated 1988 Oklaholma fire department. Can enybady say anything about this??? Something???

What is this Box? Where is it in the car body? Is it right if i replace the relays the modern ones?
Have you added fuses when you have restored the car?





This time, I downloaded the pictures a little differently, are they visible?

That box is a relay box that controls the turn signals. It is used in the early style trucks. Later trucks used an electronic "box". I converted my 1969 truck back to the early turn signal type (because the electronic stuff was kaput and I like the original stuff).

Fin,

I would try and call Fort Sill fire department . I did this this with mine (came out of Oklahoma too) and the mechanic at the department and I talked for two hours about his old M715.
