Kaiser Jeep M715


Caught the Jeep in Freeport ME. A bunch were produced for the Vietnam-era military but I understand that the contract was cancelled before the entire run was delivered. Many of them ended up in fire departments around the country. The owner of this low-mileage unit bought it from the Goffstown NH Fire Department. These machines were heavy-duty: they were called 5/4 (five-quarter) ton trucks.
