Vehicle Description
Welcome to Street Dreams as we celebrate our 26th year in the
classic and muscle car business. Here we are proud to present
another military Jeep, this one being a Ford M151. The M151 was
created to replace the aging Jeeps from WW2 and the Korean War. It
was 1951 when Ford got a contract to replace the M38 Jeeps with a
4x4 1/4 ton truck, so the M151 was born. Very similar in design to
the M38, the M151 does have some major improvements for
cross-country oriented driving. The M151 was outfitted with a
142cui i4 paired to a 4-speed manual transmission, a single speed
four wheel drive transfer case, and full independent suspension
with coil springs and struts. The M151 was also made wider, making
it capable of holding more people or equipment, so much so that
they made an ambulance unfit for this unit. The M151 was later
conceived in response to a handling problem with the M151A1: the
swing axles. They redesigned the rear suspension for the MUTT
making it able to take corners better and handle highway speeds
better. This M151 is very unique because of its condition and
accessories. This Jeep has a rust free body and fresh appearing
interior and exterior. On the engine sits a beefy generator sending
24 volts to the original military radio in the rear. This Jeep has
a very nice canvas top that has no stains or rips. This Jeep was
shown at the 50th anniversary of the ending of the Vietnam War Era
in Fredericksburg Texas. Being a truly bare-bones machine I think
is really what makes this Jeep so fun to drive, whether you are a
collector or in need of a doomsday 4x4, this Jeep is always a great
addition. Street Dreams (830-997-1950) is a full service dealership
