help 6x6 jeep?

[zelmergobi]

I found a 6x6 super jeep from the 40's or 50's at a salvage yard while looking for parts for my m1028.The owner didn't want to give me a price but I think he might sell it if the price is right.It's in rough shape and it will need a lot of work.All 3 axels there but some wheels are missing.From what I tried to find our ,this jeep is pretty rare and it was probably made by Ford.What do you think its worth?

I have it on my phone but I can't upload it...can I email it to you so you could post it?

 

[Danger Ranger]

details, details, details....
and you know we need background, more on the subject and such, because you can't just ask what its worth.

I uploaded the pic as my avatar...I can't upload it in the msg

Jeep, yeah.... Look at TNJ Murray's site for their creations!

 

[Danger Ranger]

not quite what i was hoping for....unsubscribed, sorry.

A 151 with an extra axle? Does it look homemade or factory? And those were 60s/70s weren't they?
I'll hafta google it as well.

This looks to be an army prototype, the XM408
built by Ford circa 1958
the TNJ Murray "Stumpjumper" is not the same

 

[papabear]

Does it have any dataplates?

If it IS an XM408 as Bob H posted I'd say it's worth saving for sure!!!
Prolly won't ever see another one.

By the pic I think its a stump jumper........I was at Murry's
place a year or so ago and he had a couple of them setting
around......not impressed!!! ....real hack jobs,and as with all things "Murry" gold plated. popacom Bill In Ky.

I have to say i see no Jeep in that picture, I do see an M151 MUTT though, As this type of stuff is beat to death i am happy to bring it up again and again, A Jeep is a registered trade mark a MUTT does not carry that, I Love MUTTs too, but I am a Jeep freak and just like to tell the difference, I have heard it said, everyone in my unit called them a jeep so they are a Jeep, Well in the town of Dover in NJ a strong Spanish population the samurais are called jeeps, No they are NOT by a long shot, But by some ways of thinking if enough of them say it its true, So they are Jeeps now too ... sorry could not resist...

In vietnam, we called them jeeps or 151, " can I use your jeep" or "can I use your 151" NEVER "can I use your MUTT", if someone had said that, you would have been thought of as a PREVERT or GIMPY and told to KEEP away from there pets.
Never heard the word MUTT till I started reading MV mag. where someone was bitching about MUTT being the ONLY name for a 151.
MY dog is a mutt, every time I here someone say" see the mutt", I think my dumb dog got loose or some other dog is roaming around.
I have never heard anyone say "WOW, that sure is a nice MUTT", I have heard "WOW, that sure is a nice m151" or "151"

It's an M151A2, an early Ford A2 in fact since it lacks the notches on the front fenders. It's not worth anything as a 6x6 as far as I'm concerned but could be cut back down if the price is right.

Once I said "one fifty one" and was promptly told it is a one five one!

Huh
Since we're being picky
I thought the correct ( Military ) designation was 1/4ton truck!

Check out my avatar for my Jeep, it looks just like a M35A2. The data plate says "Kaiser Jeep" and thats what I put on the title application. When the title came back, the State of Michigan had shortened it to "Jeep". So I guess I have one of the bigger "Jeeps" around!

Ok back on topic I would do what you can to save it. If it is a M151a2 6x6 and not a home maded 6x6 its worth saving as I have only seen a few 6x6's and they were M151a1's. If you can please email me the pictures would love to see more of the M151
