possible M715 project (truck with pics)

[randyscycle]

My rule of thumb is this:

Will I do anything with it realistically? Do I have the money to put into it after I get it to make it usable again?

Once those questions are answered, I usually try to set a timeline/deadline for getting it finished. I hate to be a "project starter." If I do have something, and I keep it more than a reasonable length of time without doing anything to it, or without a plan, I then try to pass it on to someone who will.

If I don't touch it in 1 year or I'm not saving it for spare parts, It's gone!!!

Good rule!

My friend John has about 8 cars that he is "going to restore" someday. Including his '70 White AAR Cuda. He did finally let someone buy his WC-53.

I have myself 3 projects. I switch from one to the other every couple months to stay motivated (I have a short attention span lol) One is semi-finished, but the Hemi Challenger is very long term and the M715 is going to be started soon. I do have drivers so I can still have fun in the mean time lol

Well I want to say welcome and good luck. I also want to say thank u for even considering the restore because so many others would have just looked at them as junck cars because they are so heavy they just take them to the scrap yard. There are also some other things you can look into when having two truck you can take all the parts you need to get the green one ready and sell the rest on this site craigs list or eBay. Then by the time your done with that you will have more money to sink into your pit (jeep). Thanks again and welcome. Rob

Hey They look pretty needy but if you get a good deal on both go for it. If you lose interest in them entirely I'd like to se them I don't live far. RBD
