Looking for an M1008 in the Midwest

[chicklin]

I'm looking to buy an M1008 in the Midwest. I live North of KC, MO, by the airport. Looking for a stock truck, no (or very little) rust, good tires, brush guard, shackles, everything works, but doesn't need to be a show queen.

Would possibly trade (full or partial) my '67 M715 w/winch, bone stock, 230, new super-lug tires, all new fluids, grease, seals, brakes, no rust, etc. Been driving it to work, 50-55 mph no problem. Everything works but the fuel guage. Needs painted green as it's currently forestry-service yellow.

PM if interested or if you know of a M1008 for sale nearby. Thanks!!

1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 with winch, all original

"I have a great M715 w/winch, heater, hard top, new seat covers, runs
great, great brakes, 11k original miles, new McCreary SuperLug tires,
spare tire, no rust. I've driven it on a couple 200 mile round trip
outings on the highway with zero problems. Comes with an divorced
NP205 in the bed that you can swap in so you can run 60mph all day
(the stock NP200 overheats above 50 mph for too long, it's a design
flaw, not a bad t-case). Just needs a paint job as it is still
Forestry Service yellow (assuming you want it to be green). Clear MO
title, tagged and insured. 816-885-5372. Looking to get $5,500."

I have some more pictures if you want to send me your email. This is a really nice M715. I sold one not as nice for $5,500 last summer. It was painted and had markings, but this one is much better mechanically, has a working winch and only 11k miles. It just needs a paint job and a couple small fixes (fuel sending unit, cracked rear glass). I attached a picture of the last one I restored. This one is a paint job away from being nicer than that one. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Reduced price to $4,500. Will post in M715 forum, as well.

i would keep a M715 over a M1008 any day of the week.

I know where you can find one, then

There are pros and cons to each. The M715 has the cool factor, but requires much more tinkering and lacks some of the modern amenities that an M1008 has. To each his own.

I'm pretty sure there are a good number of 1008s set to come out of Jefferson City through GL. When I picked up the 1009, the GL guy said he figured they'd come up for auction in the next month or so. I'm in KC, too. South, down at the old Richards-Gebaur base.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. I'd sell the M715 outright for $4,500, too. I don't need the M1008 right away.
