The "New" addition to my growing car family Options

[Jessie]

Well, it's been a bit guys. It's mainly due to graduating college and trying to catch up with bills and loans and making sure I stay afloat. During all of this time away I did make another purchase. I still have my 2005 GLS and my 2002 GT, but I decided to add this pretty little piece of history:

My 1969 Jeep M715.
14k original miles.
As is sits right now, it's about 98% stock. Axles, split rims, divorced diff, 5,87 gear ratio... all the good stuff.

I had actually been eyeing the truck for a little over a year. That's also conveniently how long it took me to convince the guy to sell it to me. I bought it as it sits right now, which not stock is the 350 motor and the fab work to make it fit, as well as an electrical cooling fan and newer style wiper motors, as well as power steering fabricated from a Wagoneer.
















It's still 24v, but there's a converter for the distributor. The starter is hooked up to 24v, so it screams when it starts. Other than that it really doesn't need much to me, maybe some TLC. I do have new rocker panels that I have to put on eventually.

I'm also working on getting a wider exhaust put on to help cool the engine. It likes to stay around 210, but the pipes from the manifold are only a 2" I.D so it chokes it up a bit.

I'm taking it to the Somerset, VA Steam and Gas show in September as an Exhibitor with the guy who I bought it from. The tan/camo one in the first few photos is his, which he's owned for the last 21 years.

I've put on about 500 miles in the last month and a half I've owned it and I am madly in love with this thing. It's a beast.

Hope everyone is doing well!
