yes yes yes yes! i love the M715. shame about the powertrain, both present and future. put a 401 in it! are you going to shorten the truck any? it looks huge as hell (which imo is fine for a truck, but maybe not super practical for offroading) i like the eggs axle do the legs of the front hoop block the windshield latches? that seems like a problem. maybe its just the angle of the photo

tuna posted:Haha why do you hate diesel? This truck is never going to work as a high horsepower machine, it's too heavy and offroading is basically all about going 5mph. I'm (disappointingly) hoping to put an R2.8 in it, which may disappoint many but we can discuss it. mainly i just hate how they smell, how they sound, and if it was me i woulda wished it was a V8 every time i drove it obviously you have different intentions for it than i would, tho, which is fine sounds like youve got your priorities otherwise straight tho. glad you're keeping the foldable windshield even if its not possible to retain the original latch locations hopefully they dont end up garish and modern looking like the hood latches

tuna posted:Great, looks like the Ford / GM used complete hydroboost setups are pretty cheap and plentiful. Not sure which one I'll go with yet. I already have a master brake cylinder but I'm not sure how compatible it is with each hydroboost unit so I might just avoid that headache and can sell the entire vac boost setup. probably just depends on the mounting bolt pattern on the master. you can get different pushrod lengths to suit the hydroboost, just make sure it isn't so long it holds the brakes slightly all the time
