Looking for a military vehicle that is not a Hummer? Veterans and aficionados of military equipment owe it to themselves to check out this new acquisition at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. We are proud to present this authentic 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 1 ¼-ton 4×4 Pickup that was delivered to US Military in January 1968 and transferred to Texas Forest Service in Lufkin, Texas.

Also known as a five quarter-ton, it was based on Jeep’s Gladiator pickup truck. The M715 Family saw duty in Vietnam and on European bases. This particular example was delivered to the United States Military in January 1968. Later, at some unknown date, it was transferred to the Texas Forest Service, where it served in the Lufkin vicinity. There, it was set up with firefighting equipment.

In 2001, the firefighting equipment was removed and the truck was sold to the city of Del Rio, Texas. The city sold the truck in 2014.

Finished in World War II-era Olive Drab in great condition. There are no blemishes on the cab or in the bed and previous holes in the bed where equipment had previously mounted were covered and welded. The glass, including the sliding side windows on the cab, are clear and intact. The truck’s lights are in similar shape.

The truck’s bodywork is straight and solid, its black bumpers are in good order, the engine bay is very tidy, the battery appears new and the truck’s bed, which has two coats of paint, is in good shape. This truck rolls on Power King light truck tires, size 9.00-16 at all four corners and each rubber wraps around split rim wheels.

Under the hood, the truck’s original 231 CID Tornado inline six-cylinder engine has been replaced by a 350 CID small block Chevy (SBC) V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor. The SBC has been overhauled with the following new or rebuilt parts; rebuilt crankshaft; new bearings; bored .060 over; new rings; new Summit 1102 camshaft and filters; valve job; new head bolts; new timing gears and manifold; new 65K high-energy ignition distributor; new Accel 8.8 300+ spark plug wires; spark plugs; new ram horn exhaust manifolds; new fuel pump; remanufactured carburetor; larger size aluminum oil pan; and new engine mounts. The truck also has a 12-volt electrical system and vacuum-operator windshield wipers but the horn is inoperable.

Backing that motor is a Warner T98 four-speed manual transmission complete with granny gear, a New Process 200 transfer case and a 5.87:1 rear end.

Inside, the cab is standard military issue with a few modern enhancements. The two original bucket seats with their red vinyl, still look great. As with any pure military vehicle, there’s no carpet but the headliner is in satisfactory shape. The original, two-spoke steering wheel, dashboard, inner door panels and shifter are all in good order. However, the tachometer, fuel and temperature gauges are inoperable.
