Awesome looking truck. I've been on the hunt for another project...I gotta admit I'm pretty jealous.

I think I found the reason why the fuel gauge wasn’t working in the new M725. Dropped and cleaning out the tank today. It has a little scale but is overall not too bad



I forgot just how much fun it is striping these old crosses from the ambulance. It’s been almost 10 years since I last did it on the other ambulance I restored.





Plus the air cleaner that I repainted while waiting on other parts.

They may not be the prettiest of welds, but they are holding. Welding cast iron can be quite the challenge, but I managed to get the broken flange stuck back on. I wanted to just try it to see if I could do it good enough without cracking the cast iron from excess heat from the weld. It turned out so solid that I decided to put it back on and keep the NOS one I have coming as a spare incase this let’s go. I fired it up a drove around the block and it so nice to have a fully functioning exhaust system back under this ambulance. It’s so nice and quiet like the other ones I have now.

I finished stripping all the old crosses off and have started to prep it for paint now the everything mechanical is take care of.

I've been slowly working away at the M725. I have a ton of events and stuff going on right now making time to work on it limited. But I have been sand blasting along the undersides of the cab floors to clean off the surface rust and stop it before it gets any worst.

Did you find any unit markings on the truck?

Nope I sanded the rear bumperettes and didn't find any. The previous owner put some fake 101 AB markings on it. At least he told me that when I bought it.

I started a YouTube channel to show the restoration on this vehicle and on many of my other vehicles. so please take a moment to watch and like, subscribe and leave a comment on YouTube to help me out getting this channel off the ground.
