DID WE FIND A 2ND RECOVERY TRUCK? 

Excited to see seat cover getting her own truck that she will build on it herself.

M715 would be a great foundation to start with. Strong frame and huge fenderwells for big tires. Keep the existing bed, bob the rear some and throw in a boom unit kind of like Rory did. But it all comes down to who's paying the bills and who's driving .

I've always liked the look of those older Jeep pickups. I think it would be a great thing for your channel. I hope that is what you choose. I especially enjoy build series with unusual vehicles.

This will be great build and it will less of a pain with the new lift for sure.

Now that you gave it national exposure, you'd better get your Lil' Lady that truck Sir! Your community is behind you for the build and support. I look forward to the project and to see who comes out of the woodwork to help and support. You are in my prayers Hoka Hey

This is how to spend a Sunday afternoon, great video thumbs up, always enjoy the ride along

Excited for the build!!! Glad Seatcover wants her own tow truck. Give someone the little girls can look up to

I grew up on square body Chevy trucks but the m715 is probably my all time favorite . Look forward to seeing it being built . Love your channel

The old Kaiser M715 certainly looks interesting. Though the GMC also makes a lot of sense too, since most of the hard work is already done.

LS swapped gladiator WOULD BE SICK ASF!!! btw been watching yall for like 6 years and always love when the restore or rebuild work comes into play

LOVE THAT THE YOUNG LADIES ARE GETTING INTO THIS!! YOUR WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE AWESOME!! THIS WILL BE VERY FUN!!

Personally, I think you guys made a great choice! The content you can provide will be invaluable. Whether it takes a year, more or less, is of no significance. It will be great to watch you guys build it into another great wrecker. Good luck, and I'll be watching.

The one that looks like yours, you can get parts easier. The frame on the Jeep doesn't look very beefy. Just my 2 cents

I go with the black chevy tow truck

As cool as that m715 is it would sure be a lot of work. I'd be worried about beefing it up because of things like the single sheer rear leaf spring mount. Throwing the body on a late model frame would put you miles ahead. Either way looking forward to the build

I think the M715 would take way more work to get it going , where with the square body Chevy you already have a lot of parts and as you pointed out the controls are the same as yours so working it would be just memory on where what switches are located . It also seemed like it was more whole even tho it would still take a bit of work to get it into a working status but much less than the M715 . I think you should go with the square body Chevy .

I'm excited about the m715 yeah, but I would love to see two dually wreckers for Eric to run so when he's broke down he'll have a sister truck to run

That looks like place a guy could get in trouble buying toys haha. I like the other square body wrecker but you already have a wrecker. Might be nice to diversify your setup and build a truck more intended for pulling and winch type recoveries. That old white jeep would be awesome for that. Interested to see what you choose for a drive train. Maybe copy the wrecker so parts interchange? That little jeep would sure scoot with a hot little small block chevy under the hood! If you do a build series I'll be here for every episode! Looking forward to it whichever rig you choose. Take care guys.

If that 715 has its tornado 6 than you put a chevy V8 right to that 4speed and the devorce transfore case I have had afew the driveline are good you have to make your own rims and their drum brakes but can be converted to discs.

Well... This is going to be an interesting build and a LOT of work. I would have chosen the other square body wrecker. Good luck on whatever you decide on building!!

Get 2. The white one & the one with the same controll panel.

That old Ford towtruck with a chevy drive train would be a nice build for the channel 😂

That M715 would be a cool truck, but a ton of work. As I kid, I had a Tonka truck like that. The square body looks ready to go. It might be worth picking up as a "hot spare".

That Jeep would make for a very cool wrecker. I was going to ask if it was going to be Mara's, but it seems like she's already decided that it will be - lol. Maybe Bleepin-Jeep has some trick to find out more information on it.

Nothing like touring an old bone yard in the rain and mud.

Nice video of the family out driving around and doing some antiquing. It certainly was an interesting stroll around Sid's yard, so many cool old trucks that in the right hands could roll again. I am looking forward to the Jeep build. Good luck.

I loved your wife''s comment. We have friends that built wreckers. I say that is great advice. Ask them their pros and cons and see what they say. It will give you ideas on what you may or may not want to do. Build it for your needs.

oh my when you pulled in .. .....😲...... look at all the possibilities

Probably should have looked around a little bit when you were down South in the rust free area. But I agree with most of people here. If you can swing it I'd buy the square body and the Jeep provided. The square body is in good shape with a little further review.

WOOT a new build is going to be great! I like the Jeep idea, it looks like a beast! I vote for putting a real wrecker bed on it similar to yours. I just like when they have real tow truck parts and I think I’d want a boom with powered extension if it were mine. I think if it’s going to be Seatcover’s it gonna need a complete exocage for when she gets rowdy. 🤪 Looking forward to it!

Exciting, guys! I would have said that it should be that nice squarebody you will be bringing home. Didn't look like that much work. BUT when you've talking about a build series I am all in for the special military/Jeep-truck!

Thanks for the tour of Sid's. Looking forward to the new wrecker build.

Wow Eric, that old jeep will definitely be unique and turn heads! You don't see those every day. Maybe pick up the square body too for the wrecker set up .that would be a great combination. What ever you do it will be a fun project. Take care.

I like the idea of the 715. But let Mara choose the driveline to suit her driving style. I do recommend installing a transfer case doubler even if it's only used once in a blue moon. The good thing about the 7 series truck's was being able to fit a 38" tire without having to modify the fenders.

I love full size jeeps that 715 is awesome. I would definitely build the jeep truck. I was also thinking the square body would be easy to run spare parts wise and switching things between trucks. You would still be able to build it differently to be better at certain things than your current wrecker or however you wanted to do it. It really is nice having multiple of the same vehicles. But the jeep truck is very cool those things are really fun and I love the grill on those.

You should get the tow truck the one with the black deck. Anything else needed to many parts.

That is cool Eric and Mara and can't wait to see it and Eric I would get the gold square body to fix it up then you have to the same have a backup

Good stuff! Really enjoyed the walk through Sidco! Cool place. Look forward to the new build!

Awesome video , brilliant idea and great choice of a truck, in their own way they were pretty stout, and yo'll do whatever is needed to build reliability and some longevity into it, you and Mara will have a ton of fun working on it, its only going to get better and more interesting each and every episode and make the rest of your RU-vid friends jealous with your unique vehicle choice, BSF future build's so bright, we gotta wear shades, only good times ahead 👍😎

Gladiator FTW....!!! Obviously 60 in front and 14-bolt in the rear, BBC, TH400, Atlas.

So glad you guys are doing a build going be sweet

I think Another square body tow truck is way to go

This is exciting! You might get them both because that old thin tube D60 in the Jeep has a lot of differences like closed knuckles and such. The square body would be a great parts truck for the old five quarters. Boyce equipment probably has a real five quarters cab. I know they still had Arctic cab kits a few years ago.

I think I would get the other wrecker as well and at least you could have a spare parts if you dont rebuild it as a spare to your own wrecker and do what Mara wants to the other. To add to this post I have a feeling that Mara is think of some Matt's or Paul's wrecker

Nice. I love trips to the " Junkyards". I could spend days and days doing that. Thanks. some great pieces there. Are You going to build a side shop to construct it in? Gonna take up a lot of real estate inside.

Can’t believe you walked by the old Studebaker towards the beginning of the video without taking a second look. Those are so smooth looking bodies. Definitely different from their competitors at the time. It would be awesome to bring that one back from its slumber and put back on the road again

That'll be a cool project. It looks like a J10/J20 cab with an M715 bed.

I am looking forward to this build! It should also grow your channel, it makes the wife unit happy, plus you get to keep it and use it afterwards so I'd call it a win-win-win situation. Those trucks are finally getting the attention that they deserve.

13:50 That’s a beauty Kaiser/AMC Jeep Truck. I remember Tonka used to make the toy trucks like that. Get it.

I would find a salvage suburban with a good 8.3 and transplant as much as you can into and under the M715. Make it mean, reliable and maybe a little cushy for Seatcover. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Friend had a m 715 30 yrs ago set up as a wrecker had a holmes boom double spool winch and 150 ft cable each drum ford 460 with clarke 5 speed lockers wheeled prety good but leaf springs where to stiff but it was a good strong truck pulled out many bigger trucks

Nice choice Mara I think Eric is into it as well although you can never have enough square body 4x4s cheer BSF

It was good to see Matt rory and Paul and casey give it to you so much deserved respect you are the OG😅

Thank you I’ve watched you for a long time before Matt started his off-road recovery channel. Thank you for your service and videos.

Honestly I think you should get both. Because the jeep will take along time. The GMC would be a good back up for big red while you go through hom.. my opinion. Thanks for all the videos

I've got a 1967 M-715. Had it for over 30 yrs. Still has the canvas(replaced many times.) I put a 327 double hump in it. It's stout.

Those old school Roll Bars are epic! I found one for my square from an old timer. Lucky to have it! They're hard to find up here in Maine! Some wicked cool rigs out there! Thanks for sharing! 😎

The M715 gets my vote for your 2nd recovery truck. Nothing matches a 715 for the coolness factor. I look forward to seeing the build in your future videos. Best of luck in this new endeavor.

Looking forward to the new build. GOD Eric you really.....whew ...are taking on a big build.

I'm thinking the 48 chevy that was out front

Besides that great 715 Kaiser, so many good-looking SJs in Sid's yard. Thanks for that tour.

Having the lift is going to make building another tow truck a lot easier Mara sounds really excited about it

With the group of friends you have I'm certain you will get a whole lot of help building this rig

A 57 chevy wagon recovery vehicle would be unique and awesome!!💗💗

You would need to swap out the front axle those 60s on that jeep have the odd ball shafts I believe .better off with a gm 60 easier to find parts for .

I swear, This wrecker yard gets all the outcasts from other wrecker yards in the state!! because of the conditions of it look just that bad!! I know record yards that keep the walkways graveled, and smooth. And the roads you can drive in on and drive around are very good. This place is one big mud hole. You’re much too good of a mechanic, Eric and a darn good man, for you to wanna pick something from this wrecker yard. It would cost a small fortune to get something half-way wake up and running!!

Heck yeah an old school Jeep build would be awesome! Cheers from your southern wisconsin neighbor.

The m715 is cool. I seen a couple 61-66 fords in there as well not sure if they were 4wd. 460 C6/205 Kp60 front 70 or 14 rear. Tough to beat that combination

momma has spokeeeeeeennnnn, 🤣 and at least your dry in stores

I recon Mara has a good eye, put some larger wheels, 😊 certainly looks cool, nice mob of rigs, hope he finds some more people to give homes to the rest, thanks for taking us along, second hand stors we good, all the best to yous and your loved ones

Oil cans, yup! And they came in back bustin' cases of 24. Go with the M715!! The MARA715 !!

Those j 20s and that square body would make for a good wrecker and keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe

Sounds Great ! Will be looking forward to seeing the rebuild.

Rory’s advice on timing would be a great input. We are still waiting on Robbie’s build from Rory. A year wow, please keep the off-road videos coming that’s why we watch. Our youth groups like those.

It's good to have a backup and options. Matt's Offroad created the MORRvair to act as a backup for the Banana and then expanded with the wrecker. Casey LaDelle has multiple vehicles for the different needs in his area. Rory built Old Blue to act as a backup for Trail Mater. I think this might be the best option for BSF since he knows what he needs and how to get it out of a stock truck.

Right on Brother, a build project. I like the body... eye candy...It will be a blast watching your build... thanks for bringing us along

Good choice on second recovery vehicle. Should be an awesome built. Can't wait till videos come out.

Sounds like an awesome new project, maybe an 6L LS, 4L80E, 4link & 48"??? What do you think Seatcover!!!

i think you should get both build the jeep first then when its up and towing well then slowly fix up the other truck since its already ready to go really just fix it nice paint it up and have it as a spare for you both so you can take one down for repairs and always have 2 running trucks

This weather crazy in our area. I live in Minnesota. Hey I think the wife is right on that build. But I think a rollback would be great to have too. Since most vehicle are always in 4x4. I had an 86 Ford with aluminum bed that made it lighter. Made a killing at the Minneapolis and St. Paul impound lots auctions. I got tired of how that old truck look and went to change the cab only to forget that my truck was a diesel. And the cab I got was gas. I ran out of money before I can fix it. Those bills at home never stop coming in when you trying to do better. So I sold the truck to a farmer. And all 17 cars and moving truck. Good luck on the build. It should be fun.

Eric, there is an old saying that says you can't make silk purse out of a sows ear. However, with your mechanical skills, expertise and Mara's abilities, you will help Mara create a silk purse. It will be fun to watch.

The M715 is a beast, it would make a great recovery rig, can't wait to see what you guys do with it so it is worth the sub, looking forward to more videos.

Your going antique shopping … you know you are … no matter how much you deny it 1

If you decide to build the Jeep truck - and I hope you do - check out BJ’s off-road for parts. Saw you checking out the floor pans. BJ’s has them.

can't wait , that will be a fun truck to work with , be safe friends , oh yeah , dont forget about the 4door you got in the field

5:00 in.. i bet judging by the cables & guides.. those old towtrucks still run & winch.. clean.. means used regularly lol.. nice

Get both the square body and the M715!

I had a J20 Jeep pickup, with the earlier quadra-track. You could practically climb trees with it, if you could keep a transmission in it. That was it's weak link. If you tried to ramrod your way out of a tight spot, that 402 would burn out a transmission in short order.

As much as I would love to restore or even just get all of those beautiful works of Art Rolling, I'd kill for those FSJs and pretty much everything back there! So much treasure! And that white Kaiser would be awesome! That would be one hell of a offroad recovery vehicle!

I have seen old Kaiser Gladiators like that before. It is from the 60's (or possibly '71). After AMC took over at Jeep, they changed the look of the front grille. They are pretty cool. That one looks like it has good bones, but it is gonna' need a lot of love. In the meantime, I hope that you add about three more winches under the body of your wrecker. Keep posting, we love your content.

Eric the deuces are cool but you should look into a 5 ton military wrecker. They're so badass and you could take on some bigger recoveries!

From what seat cover is asking sounds more like a magic carpet than a wrecker. But if it is possible for you why not get both? The square body and the m715. The Chevy is already equipped just go through it and fix any problems. That way you'll have a backup to your wrecker or if you need a secondary truck it's good to go. Plus that will give you the time to actually build the m715 into the wrecker you want.

M715 truck with a 6.0 LS, 4 link suspension like Fabrats built. 44 inch tires

I'll be watching for the build. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Awesome. Good find and good project. I’ll be watching to see the progress. 😊

That'll be an AWESOME build! Go for it!!!

ive got a cummins 4bt 1963 willys j200 set up 8 lug, ord doubler, and gear vendors overdrive gets 20mpg highway, m715's civilian relative, 1st year new body style, those were willys designed, during the kaiser takeover, ive got a lot of information and history of the early trucks if your looking for more.

I hope you get that 715 those are killer!!!

Doing great Eric

Love watching you guys
