** Back On the Market** $6000 - M715 Military PU - Restored/Modified

BACK ON THE MARKET $6000

I have decided to put the M715 back on the market after my period of sentiment had passed - hate to sell it, not costing my money - but would like to see it go to a good home. Price is firm - first buyer takes it home. I've done my best to disclose all issues and is sold as is.

1969 Jeep M715 1 ¼ ton Military Pick-up
Clean Title on hand
$6000 FIRM
Location NE Oklahoma


* * I also have a matching Mil Spec Offroad trailer for sale and would make a package deal (see link below for pix and info). A smokin' deal!

A very unique and historical military pick-up that I began restoring/modifying back when I had more money than brains. The truck is about 85-90% completed. Truck was stored outside so it does show a fair amount of cosmetic weathering -- thus the discounted price. I simply don't have the time to complete the project.

Pic is right after paint - which is now weathered

Basically here is the point I got to before it ended up sitting and an estimate of what still needs to be done:
- Engine/Drivetrain installed
- Body installed - needs body mounts sorted out
- Wiring run and partially wired
- Tie rod installed but not connected to box
- Engine wiring run but not connected
- Engine hoses and hydraulics needed
- Rear lights/bumper needed
- No seats
- Needs new canvas top - old one is ripped
- As mentioned, hydraulic throw out bearing needs a new seal installed it leaked during storage
- Brakes need plumbed
- Tires were surplus and were about 50% tread, but if I were to keep it, it would get new tires anyways due to age by now


As mentioned , the truck shows a good amount of weathering (i.e. streaking, slight rust, etc) due to being stored outside about 5 years after the work was done - ya stupid I know, but no other choice at that point. Remember I built this back in my younger days when I had more money than brains. I'm discounting it pretty good due to the weathering.

I prefer not sell it without someone actually looking at so we could go over it and misc/spare parts together. I'm in no hurry to sell - its not costing any money. I know its not perfect but thus the killer price!

Prefer it to go to a good home.

Here are some photos as it actually sits so you can get an idea of current condition...

haha wow. the picture right after paint made me chuckle. Per my taste, that's probably the coolest looking truck I've ever seen. Would give an organ to have that thing fully restored. That thing is outright ************. Good luck with the sale. If I had play money (and didn't live in Africa!) it would be mine.

Someone please buy this before I start selling stuff. That will be a heck of a rig when finished.

Good luck with the sale

She is a glorious truck! Good luck on the sale!

She looks great on the beach:ylsmoke: I noticed you're in the Bahamas - nice. Before I began the resto, I use to take it down to the beach/bay in San Diego (when I lived there) - fun beach/surf truck!

Man... this is awesome! If I wasn't headed downrange again I'd be talking very serious to you! I have a couple questions if you don't think its wasting your time?
You said its been CARC painted. Did you use actual mil-spec CARC? That stuff is nasty to apply but gives a really hard coat, wonder why it has the fading issues?
Were the Dana axles the original ones or more current ones? Whats the gear ratio in them?
What made you want to keep the NP200? Wouldn't a 205 bolt up as well? *can you say doubler boys and girls!*
I'm sorry to hear you getting rid of this. Really would be a heck of a truck. Diesel would be better but no gift horse looking here. :)
