So there I was……
I bought an m715 basketcase one day with no real plan for it. It had an engine in the bed, along with a bunch of other parts to make it go, that seemed like a start, so I started putting it together. It was approximately a chevy 250 engine with either the finest farm fab bellhousing adapter, or the crappiest adapter a real company manufactured. Started the engine on the floor, it ran…. Really good so I put that stuff in. The rest of the stuff is boring stock brakes, clutch linkage, engine mounts etc. so I will fast forward through that. Got the truck running, driving and stopping in a few weeks, it ran as good as it should have, it was cool, but it was also slow, boring and had the ride quality of a dump truck. So I did what anyone would do……..
