Folks:
     A little while back I asked about the availability of running gear
from a couple of M-37s to use as the base for a repro armoured car. I
received a number of reponces (thank you to all who replied) and I am
looking into a couple of options. One of them is a couple of 715s which
are in exactly the shape I am interested in purchaseing (good running gear
but no real hope of restoration). The problem is that I have no experiance
with the 715. So... can any one answer the following questions? First, I
need a set of the specs for the 715, wheel base, width etc, the standard GI
spec sheet. I also need wheel and tire sizes for the 715. Can anyone tell
me if there is a power take off available for the transfer case of the 715
(I will be useing a rear mounted engine so a rear power take off could be
used as a power in put.) Also, how wide and long is the frame of the 715? A
strange question I know but the frame needs to fit (or be made to fit)
inside the hull of the car. I thank you for your time and look forward to
all your help.
