  • This 1978 M151A2 was found in Portugal and imported to the UK in 2010. It was fully restored and back on the road in 2011. Although in good condition, it required some new floor panels along with a load of other parts including seals, bearings, brakes, pipes and even a flywheel and cylinder head. Most of the parts had to be imported from the USA as these are rare vehicle in the UK.

    Nice work. Good to see one restored to pristine condition. I served in in the US ARMY in West Germany as a Combat Military Policeman (95B) and drove the M151A2 with trailer...side panels and doors...yea...and it had rusted-out floorboards and the heater didn't work, which made Winter Field exercises an "adventure". Anyhow, I reckon I should thank you for keeping the memory alive - the truck looks awesome! :-) By the way, the bench seat in the back provides just enough space to stow a cardboard case of Coke. With the German winters and no heat, no ice box was required.

    Pretty awesome job you have done. I have one in Pakistan. I am restoring it as well but parts are very hard to find here. Good luck and stay safe.

    Are you my old Motor Sargent? Because that's how he thought things should of been done. All we got for the M151A1s were motors packed in a clam-shell container with what seem like a million bolds keeping it together, then when we opened it you found the engine covered in reddish brown sticky ass grease.
    The jeep with trailer looks just like I remember and the video presentation was one of the best and as the Gunny would say" THATS OUT STANDING SOLIDER "

    Our unit had one of these hit something and smash a front fender. It was sent away for scrap. That's what I hated about the unibody. An mb, m38, and m38a1 just needed a new one bolted on.

    All the dimensions in feet and inches! (Imperial) bitch things to work on! All nuts and bolts UNC or UNF. Hidden behind other panels and sections, bad design to try 'get at anything'! I got one from Vietnam. Had some hours of pain restoring it but it sold well!
