The monster truck LOL

[Tacoma]

So last weekend Spaggyroe and his pal Tony came by to pick up some stuff, and drop off some more, and help out moving my M715 cab over to the new frame.
It's going to have to be chopped down a little, and ideally, for tire clearance in the back, I'd like to 4 link it sometime, but not now. I want it RUNNING.
I've got a 454TBI that hopefully is in decent shape, the TH400/203/205, all the shafts, the steering gear, seats, etc ready to go. Just need some more money for all the nickle and dime stuff... plus a huge chunk for the rims/tires and tubework.

anyway, here's what it looks like mocked up. Those tires measure out at about 39 1/2".

Very cool man!!

 

[BlackSheep]

wicked cool. I always liked the M715.

wow i think i could drive my truck underneth that thing! what is that like three feet of clearance from the frame to the ground? thats sweet!

 

[Tacoma]

31" to the frame as it sits, w/no drivetrain.

Definitely going to 4link it.

 

[gijohn40]

what axles you got under that beast?

 

[Tacoma]

Rockwells, what else?

Welded rear, open front.... the rear is a front, and currently has the tierod welded to the housing LOL so I could tow the frame/axles home. Pretty butch.

NICE! I'm been watching the theard over on pirate too about the M715s and have always wanted to build one up. Are they hard to find around utah? I have only seen a handful.

 

[Tacoma]

eh, they come and go. The bad part about them is that there are no parts. Everything is custom, unless you just want to make kind of a mild truck w/a 60/14bolt. That's easy enough LOL ...

The good part is that everything fits and they're not as big as they look. Let me know if you're serious about getting one. I'm connected LOL

 

[Jay5.9L]

Thanks but I need to finish up my CJ before I get going on a new project. I will take a set of 60/14Bolt if you have them laying around

What's with the M715 zone? Is it still down?

 

[spaggyroe]

Looks very cool!
Especially with the front clip back on it.

I saw the pics on pirate as well. That doubler looks perty!


I'll be keeping an eye on the build. Give me a shout if I can help out in any way.

P.S.
I still have this for you.....
