What is it, very strange 151 ?

Morning All

I know nothing about MUTTS. Did say I know nothing about MUTTS

A buddy of mine pick up this in eastern shore Maryland, a chicken barn. I know nothing about it. I asked for the plate and identification numbers (waiting for information)

Something looks different in the back of the jeep any ideas?
did someone put the back?
I don't know

He is making sure everything works. (good mechanic)

Thank, S.P.

Off the top of my head I think the M718 was the ambulance version of the MUTT. But that looks like it was mod more thought.


Just check I was right Ambulance here some more pic's and info.

Nope not a 718, the added 18" on a 718 is bolted on to a normal 151 and whatever you got is way different. Whoever modified this early model body was a master metal worker as it looks factory and may be some prototype. If it is you would have a very rare Jeep, can't wait to see what the data plate says.

I agree. DOC has an M718 Ambulance here and it is like the one in your pic...NOTHING like the OP's pic.

The OP's jeep is intriguing though! I've never seen anything like it but I really do like it. As you said..it looks like it was factory made...not "bubbafied".

I would like to have it!

It looks like someone made a 1/2 cab pickup like a Jeep Scrambler. Whoever did the work did a professional looking job.

This thing would have to be light duty, or the M151's rear suspension would bottom out.

The Fed stock # you posted is for a standard M151 MV, there should be a data plate to the left of the steering column. If it is there it would also let you know who built this one. Yes, everything from behind the seats, body wise is custom.

 

[Small Prepper]

It says it's a Ford

No Joy in the master army database... even tried a couple variations.

I posted this on the G838 site. Maybe Ken will have some information.

Well my 1966 Ford made M151A1 is serial #2M 9832 so I would think it would be somewhere around there... Scott O&O

How about the data plate that was mentioned (wasn't it?); can you maybe get a shot of that?

 

[kubotaman]

I got a theory, the jeep was probably a cut and reweld but instead of rewelding it back into a jeep, he chose to make it a (pickup?) The guy probably kept the suspension and had a shop create a new back. Either way it will stand out at MV rallys.

A couple of side shots that show the whole jeep from front to back, data plates if there are any, they would be on drivers side. Maybe some uncluttered views of the divider wall behind the front seats and a full rear shot. Plus a under the hood shot, saw a ford prototype once that looked normal till you opened the hood it had a Perkins diesel.

What is it, Very strange151 ?

Here are some more pictures

I would have to say homebuilt with the stack of washers for the driveshaft carrier bearing. Good looking metal work up top.

 

[nattieleather]

Just my theory here, but I would say that it was a standard M151A1 that was demilled by cutting it in half and then when they went to put it back together they lengthened it and built the upper body on the rear to make a "pick up" jeep. That's my thought on it.
