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?
