I realize that this is not the correct forum, but I have no idea where to post my questions and was hoping you guys could help. I found this on Craigslist. The vehicle interests me, but I have no idea what it is or its worth. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Not much as it is a combination of a M715 and a civilian jeep. Not original at all.

The price is cheap, I would sure have to wonder though. The 5.11 gear ratio is wrong.

Nothing personal against Internationals, but what an odd engine to put in one. This one leaves a lot of unanswered question, like the emergency brake. The original transfer case had brackets on the transmission for the transfer case shifter. The 715s had flat glass and a canvas top. Many have hardtops now, built off of the canvas bows usually. As Warthog pointed out, that is a civilian cab, curved windshield and all. Wonder what kind of mess the wiring is? We did have a guy locally that used a Gladiator cab on his 715, it was much quieter to ride in. Interesting mess, I would be afraid of inheriting somebody else's nightmare. Glen

For $1200 that would make a good start at a nice trail rig. Definately not something you want to buy as a restoration project. But I'd wheel the snot out of it.
