    Good Morning All,

    Newbie here, name is Ron. Just took ownership of a 1967 - M715. Hoping to fix it up some, and have some fun wheelin with it, both on and off-road. Always loved the looked of these, and when the opportunity came around, I jumped all over it.

    Some pics of it before I unloaded it off the trailer







    Hoping that I can learn some stuff from you guys along the way

    I love that fuel tank!

    Welcome to the world of affordable vehicles where rock chips don't matter and tire spin usually means mud is flying.

    Nice truck but you're not going to get very far down the trails on a gallon of gas.

    As far as add on lawn mower fuel tanks go. That one is about the best one I have seen. Kwai has a M715 at my place with a plastic lawn mower tank wired to the under hood support rods. I raised the hood the other day to answer a question about the stock placement of something. I had forgotten all about that tank as it swung toward me. All I saw was something moving under the hood in my direction.
