M151a2 purchase--cant figure out the year

[gem1410]

If anyone can help--I purchased this m151a2 from my friend Don and I have no idea what year it is--the title and vin plate are incorrect---there is a plate wielded to the body above the fuel lines under the trans cover on the drivers side--the number is------C151-29729----any ideas of the year---thanks George

I have no clue as to the year, but it looks mighty good.
None of my OD stuff is that new.

Thanks--I wanted on of these for 30 years

Holy cow what a nice M151!

 

[SETOYOTA]

how do you know the title is incorrect?

Check here they should have more info Forums for anyone interested in the M151 Jeep • Portal
Most titles will show a M151A2 as something else. Wayne/

Wow! Congrats on a cherry of an acquisition. I don't think I have ever seen one that nice, even when I was on active duty! You got a real keeper there, nicely done!

can we get a pic of the plate you are referring to. Normal the ID or S/N plate is under the hood right where the owner painted 24 volts.

A2 year

Hi...nice A2!....send that number to Ken at muttguru@aol.com and pick his brain...he has probably the largest database of M151 info.......main thing is you have a title..if you're able to get tags then you've won the battle!...oh by the way..the fuel can should be facing the other way...other then that NICE M151!

 

[Taurus454]

Nice catch on the fuel can, good job!

What about the hood number? This is consistant with being USMC. The Body number indicates it is fairly late. The last contract for the USMC. Ken (mutt Guru) says these are 79 or 80 I think they are latter like 82 83 but??? The horn if original has a date as does the carb again if original.

 

[gem1410]

The title says 1967 m151-----I will get some pictures of the plate and will check the horn-- I was lucky my friends wife wanted his mutt gone--the hood was recently replaced with a nos one before I bought it--

Nice Mutt!! I really want one....someday

 

[stancanpara]

That is one of the nicest looking Mutts I've ever seen!!!

Congrats on a fine purchase!

How do you know it's NOT a 1967?

 

[gem1410]

Its an A2--fenders--body sn#--steering wheel--lights--fuel pump-----all kinds of things seperate the a1 from the a2--a2 has different rear suspention also--I have an a1 sitting at home also

No charcoal canister, I would say it is 1973 or before....

 

[earnie]

would it be wrong to get a repop data plate and add your title info and call it good

Anyone have any tips on repairing the ROPS for an M151A2? I searched around here and see no mention of the Roll Over Protection System. Mine were torched off and do not seem to match up. I suspect my lower came from a different vehicle than the upper cut part.

looking at the pics, my opinion would be a 1972-73 AMG , since it has no emissions stuff, and is definately a AMG tub. As someone else said, contact Muttguru with your datatag info and he can likely give you a very good estimate of manufacture date.

Hey gem,
I agree with Moose, early 70's AMG pre-emissions M151A2. With the number you have, muttguru will pin it down for you. Marine front bumper but Army wheel hubs. In pictures 2 and 6 the gas can is backwards, but in pic 4 it's correct. Very nice indeed! That's a good lokking M151A2 no matter what confusion there may be in the paperwork.
