There is not doubt that you should immediately sell it to me. Very nice. I have been thinking about selling the deuce to get a jeep or an M151.

If you look at the 3rd pic, you can see that I have attacked it with the rattle can already. Hopefully it will warm up a bit soon to I can complete its transformation to 24087.

M151 is pretty small under powered and about as useful as a 50cc suzuki quad. If you get too embarrassed driving it, let me know....

This is how it looks now. When I got it it did not have seats, gas tank, the transmission was in pieces in a bucket and it did not run. It was rusted bad underneath. I picked it up by the front bumper and spent a couple days welding flat bar to the rusted out channels. I would like to clean it up some and paint it. It has some rust throughs in the body that are in hard to fix places and I just have not tackled it yet.

Nice score, Jeff.
Your Jeep is officially called a G838. You can go to that web site at:
http://g838.org/portal.php?sid=e4462df65f9824ba455925f8177fd947
Another great site for M151 technical questions is:

http://www.g503.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=14&sid=e33250b5485a187f5a45

If you are looking for parts, go to ebay:

If you are looking to give your Jeep to a poor, broke, Georgia Boy, let me know, and I'll give you my phone number. :lol:

Well this one is not much better at one point in time!! Now this this was advertised as "uncut". Now when I had 1st seen it, yep no X welds and no cut down the center. SWEET I thought. So we loaded the thing cause I had exactly 6 hrs to get the trailer back to U-haul and it was almost 6 to get there!! (West Virgina is one big hill!!!!)

When we got fuel before we got on the interstate, I had seen some welds going across the body in the wheel well. Then the next stop, i noticed that all 4 were welded just above the 2 main frame rails. Since getting it home, it looks to me like it was cut completely off leaving just the floorpan, much like a VW bug. I cant imagine why someone would go through such great lengiths to cut it, let alone weld it back together.............lol
Anyways, 2 times I have bought MV's by pics only. Both have been crappy deals. I probably still would have bought this one but not for what I paid for it.
