M715 was the first vehicle I ever lusted after. Didn't care about the Ferrari, Lambo, etc. M715 hung the moon. I had a 1980 J10 with a 6.2 Diesel. A conversion guy turned good friend swapped in a p pumped 4B and I was hooked on Cummins.

I picked up 2 715s, made the best out of one, sold the other and the dream started to materialize.
Here is what we started with

The teardown ensued

It was a winch truck. After some debate, I elected not to keep the PTO winch for several reason.
1. Cant use the winch with the motor off
2. I would have to buy 2 new PTO boxes, shafts etc as I would be putting an NV4500 trans in and running a rear winch also.
3. the cost of #2 allowed me so many more options
4. Clearances of the PTO shafts would be a shot in the dark without having the drivetrain and assorted goodies in.

Front axle I picked up. 1979 Ford HP D60. More on this later



Rear 14 bolt. It just needed a diff cover and disc brakes as it already had 4.56 and a Detroit.

Bed came off to make new hangers for the rear axle

[tndonor]

New rotors and bearings to the 14B

Looking a little more complete

[tndonor]

Spring hangers were going to go inside the frame for clearance after measuring and thinking through things a bit

[Stuka]

Now that's a new way of in boarding springs. May lose a bit of stability, but should flex better.

Axle looks awesome!

Then the postman brought some goodies. 21 circuit harness, 35 spline D60 3430 outers

[tndonor]

Then freight dropped off my seats. GSS global MRAP seats. They are blast rated. Pretty cool. After sitting in them they are WAY more comfortable than mastercraft seats I sat in and keep the military theme a bit tighter

Back to the Dana 60.

OX locker. I prefer mechanical over electric or air fittings anyday........this will be a theme

New ring gear on

Master overhaul from Yukon with Timken. No cutting corners......another theme.

[tndonor]

Cleaned the housing up

Went with 1410 on the yoke

Time to assemble.
