Re: M-151 Mutt / Jeep
Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK getting cut up with a torch is
exactly what happened to most of the 151s, I've seen a few that were
welded back togeather again. For Titanium they were damn rusty-
Don't ever recall ever seeing one burning JP4 insted of gasoline
though- :).
From
http://www.geocities.com/fordm151/
I quote -
"In 1960 quantity production of the M151 started at Ford's Highland
Park factory in Michigan. The engine was the Ford L142 - a 4-cylinder
2,320 cc. unit delivering 72 bhp. at 4,000 rpm. - but the steel bodies
were built by Fruehauf. "

Re: M-151 Mutt / Jeep
Hi Howard,
You didn't see that was a "geocities" site, with glaring errors,
like there's no frame for one.
They cut them up before they could be sold as surplus salvage, for
litigious reasons. It was impossible to weld or even bolt the halves
together even using a gusset, and not have something even more
dangerous. When I was in the ARMY they definitely didn't have a steel
bodies, they were made light, as you may see each axle had a loop to
attach to a parachute. This site says they were all aluminum:
http://www.m151.uklinux.net/military/m151/m151.html Yes, Ford
assembled the M-151, along with Kaiser Jeep, AM General and General
Motors, but you'll never find that engine anywhere else. Does this look
like an American Carburetor to you?

assembled the M-151, along with Kaiser Jeep, AM General and General
Motors, but you'll never find that engine anywhere else. Does this look

Re: M-151 Mutt / Jeep
Hi Howard,
You didn't see that was a "geocities" site, with glaring errors,
like there's no frame for one.
They cut them up before they could be sold as surplus salvage, for
litigious reasons. It was impossible to weld or even bolt the halves
together even using a gusset, and not have something even more
dangerous. When I was in the ARMY they definitely didn't have a steel
bodies, they were made light, as you may see each axle had a loop to
attach to a parachute. This site says they were all aluminum:
