Many unibody cars have springs. All of them except Citroens, as far as
I know.

Re: M151 MUTT replica kit
 

My Senility?? Darn, I had forgotten all 'bout that :(.

My pre-mature, er, um, whatever we were talking about not-withstanding
a bit of research reveals that M151 Mutts were, with very few
exceptions, buit with steel bodies.

try this web site instead-

Per
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/...2?viscount=100
Ford didn't go with the aluminium body due to problems with stress
cracking. It also sems there would have been corrosion problems
between the aluminium & steel components. as all the the MUTTS I've
seen have been rusted, not corroded I stand by my assertation that
M151s awere, for all practicle intents & purposes, Steel, nor
Aluminium. For some pictures of rather rusty MUTTS I'd suggest-

The exceptions may have been some speacial "airbourne" models which
may or may not have seen actual service. I have not been able to find
any references on the web (for what THATS worth) that these things
ever actually existed. Per our last, er, um, discussion + input from
my wife's second cousin's husband (you remember him, Right??)
on the the subject these rumours may be refering to the Mighty Mite
vehicle-

Re: M151 MUTT replica kit
 

If their bodies were made of steel, cutting them in half wouldn't
have been a problem, they'd just weld the ends back together as most
Japanese ricers are salvaged.
