We have two J-200 Jeep pickups, 1964, styled like the one in the pictures, now retired. They had the Tornado motor in them. They were sensitive to tuning; keep everything up as it should be and they had very good power, especially with the two barrel carburetor. We used both on the farm, one also was used to pull a 21 foot camper up into Michigan from north central Indiana with no feelings of wanting more power. The other has a PTO running from the transfer to the back out the rear bumper for spreading fertilizer out of a PTO driven bulk buggy. An elevator owned it and used it that way for years before we got it. Sadly my son was run off the road with it cutting off a power pole, hit dead center. It happened about a mile from the farm so I took the Payloader over and lifted the truck off the pole stump to bring it home. It did a lot of damage, shoving the front back almost to the K-member, bending the front axle, totaling the truck but my son only had bruises. Seat belts work! The officer at the scene told my son he normally did not talk with the person in the vehicle that did what that Jeep did to the pole and my son walked away! Interesting how Kia is making what looks like a close copy of the 715. Even in the videos of the Kia truck showing it being driven it looks like it rides like the 715!! I personally prefer my M37 over it for general use.
