J20.  The end.

 

Second place is a tie between the M715 and M1A1.  For me anyways, YMMV.

 

Definitely not a KJ, but they're good in their own way, lol.

Definitely one of the better of the jeep trucks. Ive always loved 80s mjs xjs and the yjs but id also love to have a old willys truck or a cj2a or something

I also have seen something about this crazy thing. Ive just always wondered why they chose a jeep fc cab to slap on top of it.

One of the old DJ5 postals for me.  I like my Comanche, but I love my postal.  The only thing more fun than driving an old "manual everything" jeep, is adding right-hand drive to the mix.

That looks like they just took a Saab J32, chopped it up, and redirected the exhaust toward the ground.:laugh: Idk why they used a fc cab of all things, but it's definitely interesting.

A 6BT is a tight fight under the hood in any full size Jeep (M715 included).  It can fit, but you're millimeters away from the firewall and the radiator fan.  And routing the intercooler is a challenge.  It can be done but you have to know what you're doing and there isn't much room for error.

I'm helping a friend do a 12v into an M715 this summer.  It's an interesting adventure.

 

The issue is that the engine bay in the SJ platform wasn't designed for really big engines.  It was designed for the AMC straight 6, Buick small block, and AMC V8.  Trying to fit big engines like a big block or long straight 6es like the Cummins and Ford 300 can be a challenge and may require sheet metal modifications.
