Utility Truck
Specifications
| Country of Origin/Used by: | USA |
| First Produced/Service Dates: | 1964 |
| Manufactured by: | Kaiser Jeep Corporation & American Motors Corporation |
| Crew: | 1-3 |
| Armament: | Normally unarmed. However, weapons could be mounted which included: (1) or (2) M60 7.62mm Light Machine Guns or (1) M2HB .50 cal Heavy MG. Also, there was a M40A1 106mm Recoilless Rifle Armed Mutt which was designated the M151A1C. |
| Engine: | 4 Cylinder Gasoline |
| Miscellaneous Info: | The M151A1 was very similar to the earlier M151, but with minor improvements to the independent coil suspension. The changes were made to improve the vehicle's handling because the early Mutts had a tendency to roll over during sharp turns. Unfortunately, the improvements did little to solve the handling issues. The main external identifying feature between the earlier M151 and the M151A1 was the addition of small turn signals on the A1's front fenders. Likewise, the main external identifying feature between the A1 and the later M151A2, also related to the turn signals; the A2's being fitted with much larger parts, also resulting in a change to the shape of the front fenders. |
