I am not sure if they are still around by thier used
to be the M715 yahoo group which was an offshoot of
the M715zone.
You can build what ever you can afford. Some have
swapped in big block engines and axles out of the CUCV
series trucks.
Vintage Power Wagons purchased a large quantity of
M715 parts so you can check there.
Question ultimately becomes 2 questions, what do you
want to do with it and how much do you want to spend?
