"Fritz", the 1967 M715 "Gladiator" build

[Deleted member 22728]

"Fritz" is number 71 of approximately 36,000 Kaiser Jeep M715 trucks supplied to the Army. He deployed to SE Asia, returned to the States for a limited overhaul at Red River Army Depot in 1971, and at some point thereafter, disposed-of via DRMO to a volunteer fire department. He's basically an original survivor, 26k on the odometer, complete with 24v electrics and "Tornado" OHC 6.

Our intent for the truck is something between a resto-rod and a basic original - meaning, contemporary Sarge green livery (to match "Gregori", the 21' JTR EcoD build), Novak Adapters SBC conversion, and basic 12v electrics.

I'm open to suggestions.
