1968 Jeep Kaiser M-715 Military Truck

Description for Jeep Other 1968

This vehicle is located in San Diego, A. This listing may be closed without notice since the vehicle is for sale locally on craigslist and other forums.
I bought this truck a couple years ago on craigslist. The original owner was a carpenter and passed away, o I thought it would be fun to restore his old truck. I finally finished this week! I thought I would end up keeping it, ut right now we have five cars and although I will probably regret this I need to sell it to free up some space (and so I can start restoring my Bronco!).
Jeep-Kaiser made around 33,000 of these in 67-69 for the military as a sort of modular chassis that could be used for different purposes. This one wound up in Cleveland National Forest as a forestry truck for a long time before being bought by the last owner. I have some of the old papers still.
It's a great, nique truck and I get compliments almost every time I take it out. It drives solid and is *not* a project truck. You will never see anyone else out on the road driving the same thing.

Planned on replacing with $30 one from Amazon.Reverse lights are not wired up.Power steering line or pump has a slow leak. Fill it up once a month or so.

The price is very, ery fair - I'm not looking to make a profit, mainly want this unique truck to end up with someone who will enjoy it properly. I have put a lot of time, oney, nd love into giving this truck new life.
