Hey All:
Just got this M151 today and was wondering if anyone would like to say what's on their mind about it. I have restored a WWII Dodge WC-43 and repainted and maintain a 1968 M35A2. I will start restoring this jeep in a few months after I take care of some loose ends and sell the WC-43. I can do the body work myself. It looks like an un-cut body, although it has been hacked up a little. I also have the correct 2-piece windshield, seat frames, and a few other of the obvious missing body pieces. The guy I bought it from seems to have lost the rear axle shafts (half-shafts?), so I need a set of those. The ID plate shows original ownership by the US Navy; the paint seems to be 24087, although I think I see some bits of haze gray by the front bumper. Am wondering if USMC M151's were owned by the Navy or had direct ownership? What's the deal with the bright green paint on the engine and radiator? EDIT: I now have the drive shafts.
