My sweet lady @IRIS_Always have been looking for something for her and to teach the oldest boy to drive on.
We looked all over but our conversations kept coming back to the CUCVs and 1967 M715 at @Csm Davis place.
We went and looked at them last Sunday and decided we wanted to pull the trigger on the M715.
Here she was as we found her:

So, I've spent a week more or less daydreaming about recovering her! We took off this am at 0330 and headed out! (Of COURSE it was below freezing, because that is the best way to recover a vehicle!)
We got there a little after daylight and I backed down to her and we loaded.

We got her up the hill and finished prepping for the trip home:
