This 1968 Jeep M715 (chassis 22200) is a completely refurbished and heavily modified version of the Kaiser-designed US Army workhorse. Power comes from a 502 Chevy crate motor, and despite the large tires and tall suspension, the owner says that it drives very well on the road. Find it here on eBay in Oxford, Ohio with an unmet opening bid of $34,900.

A 12k winch, tow bar and LED lighting provide recovery assistance should this beast ever get stuck, and while we might ditch the bed rails and camo netting, a full complement of bed mounted tools and Jerry cans could definitely come in handy. With 46 inch Michelin XML’s and high-mounted side exhaust, we would wager a four foot fording capability is well within limits of this machine.

Both body and frame were sandblasted and coated with mil-spec chemical resistant paint before reassembly. A new wiring harness, braking system and a full set of stainless steel hardware are just a few of the undercarriage updates noted with the lengthy and detailed auction listing.

The interior retains most of its OEM bare-bones feel, but has been upgraded with Mastercraft harness seats for better comfort and safety. A late model tilt column and steering wheel also lend an added measure of civility A custom switch panel, CB radio and tach round out the dash panel mods, while a new fabric soft top provides weather protection. Additionally, the cab floor has been coated in bed liner.

The 502ci big block Chevy has less than 1k on it and should provide plenty of power to turn the big bead-locked Michelins. A built TH400 automatic transmission, NP205 transfer case and locker-equipped Rockwell axles front and rear should easily be up to the task of handling the big power increase, while also ensuring very good off-road performance. The truck also features remotely adjustable Ranchero shocks, a large capacity radiator and a bed-mounted aluminum fuel cell.

The camo netting is a bit over-the-top, but then again one could argue the same about 45-inch tires and big block crate power. We dig it, and would especially enjoy testing it out on the trail.
