Description of 1968 Jeep Other M151

Barn found : The Truck. Utility. l/4-Ton. 4×4. M151 (M151 ) was the successor to the Korean War M38 and M38A1 jeep Light Utility Vehicles. Commonly referred to as a "jeep" or "quarter-ton". it was produced from 1959 through 1982 and served in the Vietnam War. The M151 had a monocoque design making it roomier than previous jeep designs. and incorporated an independent suspension with coil springs. It has since been replaced by the larger AM General HMMWV in most utility roles in frontline use. With some M151A2-units still in U. S. military service in 1999. the M151-series achieved a longer run of service than that of the WW2MB/GPW. M38 and M38A1 series combined. Although the M151 mostly retained the same basic layout and dimensions of its predecessors. it was for all intents and purposes a completely new design. Unlike previous jeep designs. whose structure consisted of a steel tub bolted onto a separate steel frame. the M151 utilized a semi-monocoque design. which integrated the box frame rails into the sheet-steel body-structure. Eliminating the separate frame gave the M151 slightly more ground clearance. while at the same time lowering the center of gravity. This process slightly enlarged the vehicle. making it roomier than previous jeep designs. while retaining the same light weight. Front has grille with horizontal slatsAnother area improved upon in the M151 was the suspension. Dispensing with the rigid live axles in the front and rear that all previous military jeeps used (a layout still used on modern day Jeeps. such as the Jeep CJ and Wrangler). the M151 was instead equipped withindependent suspension and coil springs. This made it capable of high-speed. cross-country travel. while boasting high maneuverability and agility. The new suspension also had the added benefit of providing a more comfortable ride. Due to copyright and trademark issues. the M151 did not feature Jeep's distinctive seven vertical slot grille. instead. a horizontal grille was used.
