I'm new here, I found this site looking for information on the M729 we have at the fire station. Wow, I found more information then I thought I would. I've only got one picture of it right now, but will get more when I get a chance, and a nice day.

Welcome! Wow, that is one sweet looking truck, even in red! I like it, more pics please....
Isn't that an M726? (Or is it M724? I can't remember which is the chassis and which is the service bed.)
....Or is it a "6217"?

The m724 was the cab and chassie from the factory. The m724 was the platform used to create the stewart avionics model 6217 contact maint. truck. The m726 was another utility bodied(lower sides and no welder) used in telephone maint.
And there is another variant of the contact maint. truck, which is a military conversion from a m715 cargo w/winch to a body identical(details vary in the cabinets) to the stewart avioncs body.These can be identified by the use of a 205 transfer case w/PTO to power the welder.
The last version is what I own. hope this helps regards scott
The red truck is the 6217 conversion. As no3shopset said there is both a early and a later version of the 6217 truck. Two quick ways to tell if the truck is an early or a late version is to look at the data plate on the box (on the front drivers side). If the build date is before 71 then it is probably a early version on a m724 chassis. If it is '76 then it is the later version on the M715 cargo truck. Another way is to look at the location of the welder panel. Early trucks have the welder in the middle compartment and later trucks have the welder in the front compartment.
