Your right front fender is for 1924-1925. Note the flap on the front edge which is not present on the other side. I am in Missouri. I might have some stuff you can use. I would donate some items.
Thanks! I did notice the different fenders. May just have to live with it for now. Shipping from MO to MI may be costly depending on the parts. Let us know what you have. mimths@mimths.org

Very nice well done I am working on two tractor tugs ones a mercury S huskie
I was a wheel and track vehicle mechanic in the Army in1966-1969 in Ft. Wainwright, Alaska. We had enough of them flopping over that they had to retrain the regular drivers because of the suspension. I was road testing one and made U-turn and laid it on it side as well. Not a fun ride. You had to be careful turning or transitioning form unpaved to paved roads.
I sold a Ford GP in the summer of 2022, it belonged to my dad who acquired it from someone. It sat in his garage under a 1934 Plymouth 4doorPE sedan that was on a two post lift for 35 years. The GP was relatively in tact, but had been ravaged by time. The gentleman who bought it was tickled to get it, and found a brass plate inside of the engine that indicated that it had been used to train the mechanics that worked in the motor pool dated March of 1943. I never heard if the GP has been restored yet, but I’m guessing that it is still around.
Where is this museum at?
Eastpointe, MI
People are taller and fater now days.
I drove M151s nearly every day for my 1-year tour of duty in Vietnam in 1970. We had two assigned to our crypto comm center, and every morning we would have to load up with our 1911s and wooden box of crypto code key cards and visit all our "subscribers" and change the codes in their machines. I can attest to the "swing axle" rear suspensions being squirrelly. One day, after a monsoon cleared and the asphalt road began to dry, I went around a corner a little too briskly, hit a patch of dry pavement and put my vehicle up on two wheels! It got my attention. Never had a problem off-road. That suspension, by the way, was also found on Triumph Spitfire sports cars, and in the US racing organizations would require limiting straps before allowing them to race. One of our troops had served in Germany prior to serving in Nam and rolled his M151 on a tank trail, giving him a medical "profile" for a back injury. Believe me, the last thing that medic's seat needed was a seat belt! If you want to give an true appear of a Vietnam-era M151, you will need to weld a length of 5/16" chain to the floor, just ahead of the driver's seat. Since they don't have ignition keys, anyone could jump in and drive away. The way to secure your "jeep" (yes, we called them that), was to loop the chain through the steering wheel with a padlock. One other difference between the MB and M151 was the starter button. On the former, the button was above the gas pedal. On the latter, the clutch needed to be depressed and your clutch boot toe extended.
That radiator is a honeycomb i believe. Hard to find.
That bushing is hell to press on.
It's not AMERICAN BANTAM the company wich invented the JEEP who were making the trailers after the JEEP contracts were given to WILLYS and FORD?
Read the Rifkind Report. Copies are available in the museum gift shop.
Bu araç satlık ise kaç dolar,
Çok, çok harika araç, süper
Excellent work on that jeep. Us old Nam vets are restoring a Willy's jeep here and when we got it we wondered why I kept hearing it took guys years to restore one? Then we began. My God we soon learned its not just the labor. You don't go to your local Napa and pick up parts 'LOL.' For those planning a repo like the nice one here just keep repeating 'Time, labor, money, find the parts' 😀
Willys still made more in the end
What is Phil Nauds organization or contact info if ok to share... it is not listed on your UA-cam video. My grandfather was in the 106th 422nd and I am researching his service. Thank you.
Would love to visit the museum sometime. 👍🏻
Nice!
im painting my truck this color
I drove an M151A2 for three years at Fort Cavasos (Hood) back in the 70s. I don’t remember anything particularly squirrely about the drive. On rough terrain it was tippy which is one of the reasons they got rid of them and cut them in half. They were retrofitted with roll bars for a while until the HUMVEE was introduced. Great video on the Ford Jeeps. I own a 45 GPW that is just about done on a lot full restoration.
I had one of these in Thailand. Got it from Vietnam. Hard to work on, all bolts , nuts and screw forms in Imperial of UNC-UNF. Sad the Americans never went metric! So difficult --all the inches and sub measurements! Arrgghh!
"promosm" 💋
Rückseite??? 😡😡😡🤮
Would you sell it by any chance?
A very nice classic vehicle 😮
I've had one of these belonged to my wifes uncle. A tree fell on it about a month ago and squished the back and 2 sides and bent the frame in the front. So now it's scrap metal
Why do your wheels have slots instead of holes?
Got my answer in the video
I also make Jeep trolly
gemco made some all 1945
Thank you for posting this gem of Salvation Army History. Get ready, Donut Day is June 2nd!
Our Sea Explorer Ship 33 had an Air Sea Rescue Boat equipped with 2 Hudson Invader Engines. The SES Albatros was sold to us for $1 by the Air Force when they were declared surplus. The 44 foot boat would get up and plane at full throttle, but we rarely ran it that fast because we couldn't afford the fuel consumption. We were blessed with an old salt who was an engineering officer on fleet submarines during WW2. Our skipper had a 50 ton masters license to operate the boat. My dad who had been an engineering officer on Liberty ships during WW2 had an Unlimited Masters license, but had such bad memories of life at sea he never went aboard the SES Albatross, and simply gave money. I would often visit the Hudson Invaders when we weren't moving, but it was too noisy when they ran. The wheel house was amid ship directly above the Hudson Invaders so the only time I would go there was to serve coffee, soap or sandwiches to the skipper. BTW the idea of the this design was to race out to save downed pilots. He after compartment had bunk beds on wither side and were comfortable even when moving. The forward compartment had fewer accommodations for the crew and the galley.
Where did you get your tires and how much were they? Also, I'd like to paint mine the same color as yours. What brand of primer, what brand of paint and what was the paint code? Thank you!
Hi, I just purchased a 1961 M151 and want to restore it. I also purchased a 1969 M151A2 that I'd also like to restore. I don't know anything about them but want to learn. Both of mine are uncut and titled to be driven on the road. I've heard that it's very difficult to get one that's titled to be driven on the road and that only a thousand to fifteen hundred were ever allowed to be driven on the road. Anyways, that's what the guy that sold them to me said. I plan on restoring the 1969 first and then selling it. Then I'll restore the 1961 and keep it. I've heard that you can find new old stock of all the parts and body panels. Is this true and if so, how do I get these body panels?
Looking good that was a lot of work getting to the stage you at. Coming on nicely 👌 we'll done Sir ✔️
Not in bad shape for being outside. I am looking forward to seeing it getting fixed up. Thanks for sharing 👍
Very interesting vehicle with that launcher system 🤔
Nice, update!
Thanks for the update
Hope to see more.
Keep moving on I like the video's. I am working on My M1028, an AN/GRC-142 and PU620. Also have 2 M151 in line to work on. Good Luck!
Thank you for the information. Hope to see the Michigan Military Technical & Historical Society someday.
