Here's the skinny on rollovers and M151s. Do not take a turn above 25 MPH or you will stand a very good chance of rolling it! Most roll overs were due to human error. In other words, the driver was doing something he or she shouldn't have.
ROPS are nice but make...
Depends on the sub type: M151, M151A1 or M151A2 as these all had different manufactures.
For my '67 M151A1 which was built by Ford, I think it was listed as a Ford P/U or "sport utility".
My first A2, which had a DoD of '71 was listed as a "Ford" as...
That's one really nice M416. I just picked up one of those myself coinsadentally, to pull behind my M151A2:cool:.
Looks like your landing leg is bent. John Bizal of Midwest Military sells those...
I have to agree with a lot of what's been posted on here so far. A lot of the trails west of me (& there used to be a lot of them) have been closed to motorized traffic. You're more then welcome on them on foot, but nothing motorized is allowed.
One of the reasons for...
You're welcome, Chris. That sounds like a solid plan but don't be discouraged if the owner acts like that A1 was Gen.Westmoreland's Personal command jeep. It happens. If this one doesn't work out, there will be others. Of that, I'm sure...

With that nugget of info, I'd readjust my estimate of it's value to around $1200.00 or so (probably less). If you get the chance to look under that A1 again, check the front cross member just aft of the engine compartment. That's a pretty important area as well.
The "frame" which there...

When you sya (well, wrote) the above, I'm reminded of my first mutt as I paid $3400 for it . It was a reweld but looked good and ran well. So, yes I think you can get into one that is a runner (most likely a reweld) within the price range you describe. You just...
My first mutt was a 1967 M151A1 that was unrestored, rewelded & titled. It set me back about 3k and was a good runner. I did a complete tear down resto on that A1 and wound getting 11k for it. Still have a photo of it hanging on the wall next to my computer.
My first A2 set me back 8k. It was...
Hello
I've owned three of them 1) '67 M151A1 & 2) 70's M151A2s. I'd like to reccomend this site for all things G838 www.g838.org many of the guys who post over there are members here so there's a lot of cross board(er) action. The mutt in the above images is a fairly...
'Been considering one myself (for some reason). They certainly have a "cool" factor all their own.
I can't think of any real pros other then the aforementioned cool factor. As for cons, they tend to be loud , manual steering poor brakes (that's all MVs isn't it?)...
can't help with the winch but what you seem to have stumbled upon is the fabled CCKW graveyard [thumbzup] It is interesting that the truck in the right hand image still has it's troop seats after all these years (I'm sure they were replacements at some point). Thruck appears to be very complete...

This looks is a WWII CCKW built by GMC. Not sure if that fuel tank is correct but it does have the rare combat rims used on...
