Three M715s found in a field north of Denver. They are available, $6000 for the whole lot, all or nothing. I just realized that I didn't count wheels and tires. I think that about half are missing.

If someone is interested, I will take a better inventory. The extra tailgate goes with truck #3.

Here is Truck #1:

"Ran when parked".

Here is truck #3:
There is no engine or radiator. The Willys parts are not included; I have already claimed them.

Nice! They look exactly like the trucks Boyce has.

er...I would guess the lot to be worth...1K...but only if ya needed parts for another 715...but I am sorta cheap!

6K? That's why they are still there.

papabear, Armada, HAWKMAN, txdodge43man,
Thanks for the honest feedback. I will pass it on to the owner.

For my own reference, what would a complete and running M715 be worth? I know that those engines had problems; what is a running engine worth and how many M715 entheusiasts stick to the old engines?

I look at the sheet metal when considering a m715 or m725. Rust free...complete...running or not, 3500.00 dollars. Rusted missing body parts running or not,500.00 to 1200.00 dollars. As for as a good running take out engine complete...I'v paid 600.00 shipped to my home.
I like and have own several Kaiser trucks and I can safely say the stock motor is a maintenance nightmare, but I keep pouring money in to them. My current m715 engine came apart on the way to a fourth of July display Saturday so it looks like it will be parked for some time.
