"There are restomods, and then there are builds so outrageous they feel like alternate-universe concept trucks brought to life. The 1967 Kaiser-Jeep M715 refurbished by Blacksmith Garage falls squarely into the latter category. Once a military workhorse, this pickup has been overhauled into a show-stopping, trail-crushing beast with the kind of details that make collectors lean in and enthusiasts lose their composure."
"The Kaiser-Jeep M715 was never designed to be pretty. It was built for the field-rugged, utilitarian, and unapologetically boxy. Fast-forward to 2024, and Blacksmith Garage has taken that DNA and spliced it with unapologetic power, modern amenities, and craftsmanship that elevates the truck into something else entirely. The end product is a build that honors its military roots while flexing every bit of modern performance muscle available."
"Under the hood sits a 6.4-liter Hemi V8, paired with a Mopar 545RFE five-speed automatic transmission and an Atlas dual-range transfer case. With this configuration, power delivery isn't just impressive-it's ferocious. Dana Ultimate 60 axles with 5.38:1 gears and electronically locking differentials ensure that whether you're crawling rocks or blasting across dirt trails, the truck stays ready to bite. A Blacksmith-built dual exhaust with Jones mufflers gives the Hemi the soundtrack it deserves-equal parts thunder and menace."
Blacksmith Garage transformed a 1967 Kaiser-Jeep M715 military pickup into a modern, high-performance off-road restomod combining period character with contemporary engineering. The build replaces the spartan interior and original drivetrain with a tech-filled cabin, a 6.4-liter Hemi V8, a Mopar 545RFE five-speed automatic, and an Atlas dual-range transfer case. Dana Ultimate 60 axles with 5.38:1 gears and electronically locking differentials provide stout drivetrain strength. A Blacksmith dual exhaust with Jones mufflers delivers a thunderous tone. A custom three-link front and four-link rear suspension with Fox remote-reservoir coilovers and Currie Antirock sway bars optimize articulation, control, and trail capability.
