Watson and Son M715 parts

[riprock01]

Long story short my dad’s old 715 ended up at camp seagull in NC as part of their Jeep program and sometime in 2020 was sold off to Watson and sons jeep salvage to be parted out. It was a very distinctive truck with fully chromed/stainless interior and Ford 460 power. I’m trying to see if anyone here bought interior parts off that truck as if so I’d love to buy them back if possible.

From what I understood, a scrap dealer ended up with those 715s when they left Seagull, and Watson bought 6 out of the 8 (or whatever it was). Rules being rules, since they came from a scrap place, they couldn't be put back on the road, so all Watson could do was part them out.

A lot of (nice) Jeeps they get in are that way. He has inside line to many scrap yards and buys them whole, but un-title-able.

the backstory -- Camp Seagull is a YMCA camp in eastern NC. They had accumulated a bunch of 715s. Some running, some parts or "gonna run one day" trucks. Put seats in the back and rode the kids around camp. I figure at some point their insurance company put the brakes on it.
