body help!!

[4wheelmax]

i'm new here on the forum....and a new m715 owner at that.
i'm trying to round up the parts needed for my restoration but as i'm sure you all know, this stuffs not easy to come by. does anyone know where i could find a left front fender and skirt in somewhat decent shape, and where could i find the correct paint code for what parts are what color.
i'm also having a little bit of trouble finding a rear main seal kit for it.
I'de really appreciate the help.
thanks

Rear main seal you can get at VPW(see above), or Memphis Equipment, A.B.lynn, for starters. Memphis Equipment is close, in Chambersburg, PA. I don't know about the fender, your guess is as good as mine, I would like to find a cab to replace my rusty one, but no luck.

Welcome to the madness!

Hit the search tab at the top of the thread area, and plug in any of the items you asked about. You'll come up with a thread on nearly anything you want to know. It'll be a bit of reading sometimes, but tons of info here.....

Generally, if one needs new fenders, they'd have to purchase another truck. However, M715 Zone members occasionally list the front fenders and other parts on the For Sale board.

If I may ask, what is wrong with your fenders?

Delks surplus in ashboro N C used to have a ton of (used) body parts.
I got alot from them, well about 10 yrs ago anyway.

Watch ebay... there were a quarter panels for sale a couple of months ago.

VPW had a large quanity of fenders a couple years back, assuming they still do. Problem was they only had one side. I am thinking it was the passenger side.

All were used take offs, no clue how they ened up only getting one side. Many looked to be in good shape.

Thanks to all for the help. I just ended up cutting the rust out of the fender and stitching new metal in. now i'm trying to round up a yellow bridge plate , a blackout light, and some cargo top bows and canvas. Heres what it looks like so far after bodywork, paint, and stensils.

That looks really good.

Try Beast for the yellow plate. At least new numbers and letters, you have to paint the one you have yellow.

Looking good!

The bridge plates come up on e-bay all the time in OD. I picked one of those up and painted it yellow.
