Specifications
| Country of Origin/Used by: | USA |
| First Produced/Service Dates: | 1970 |
| Manufactured by: | Base Vehicle: AM General; Armor: At first, Field Modifications were made by individual units. Subsequently though, two (2) kits were developed by the US Army. |

| Armament: | (1) M60 7.62mm Light Machine Gun |

| Miscellaneous Info: | Although, many base versions of the M151 series were eventually armored, the most numerous were the M151A1 and the M151A1C Recoilless Rifle Carrier (without the Recoilless Rifle). The A1C chassis had been strengthened to carry the 106mm RR, so it was better able to handle the added weight of the armor which was added. |
