1968 Jeep M715 Restomod Vortec V8 Engine Awesome 4X4 23662 Miles
Looking to get behind the wheel of a wild 4x4 ride with maximum visual impact? Look no further. Imagine the double takes you'll get when you're seen coming over the horizon in this 1968 Jeep M715 Restomod. Its niche is all about transforming a vintage Jeep truck into a no holds barred, one of a kind creation, and with a surprisingly comfortable interior, an ever-reliable 6.0L Vortec V8 powertrain mated to a modern 4-speed automatic transmission, and a beefed-up custom suspension, this uber-unique Military Jeep (if you can still call it that) delivers as one of the coolest vintage haulers that we've ever seen. Starting life as a Kaiser-Jeep G-890 1 ¼-ton truck (based on the Jeep Gladiator SJ production truck) back in 1968, this big mauler was tabbed at the Toledo, Ohio factory to go into military service for the United States in our 'M-Series' armed-services vehicle program. Most of you have seen the M-Series Jeep CJs, the Chevrolet K5 Blazers, and the vaunted HUMVEEs, but not many are aware of these Jeep trucks that were sent to the corners of the world to spread democracy, most notably Vietnam. That's exactly the life of noble service this Jeep was built for, before it was converted into a tactical fire truck for the Alverno Fire Department, with a short, utility stepside bed, its imposing stance, and canvas cab roof. A few years after it retired from the fire brigade, the entire truck was frame-off restored, and the previous Fire Engine Red paint was replaced with that super-cool Olive Drab Green you see today. It's a matte-style finish, but don't confuse it with some bumpy rhino-liner that looks like it was applied with a shoe, as it's rather smooth to the touch and uniform overall. Sure, it's not a show-winner with miles-deep paint, but the finish is top driver-quality, and for what this truck is, anyone can forgive any minor imperfections.
