M151A1 service role and design highlights

The M151A1 utility truck served U.S. Army and Marine Corps units from 1959 into the early 1990s, proving a reliable workhorse in Vietnam. This variant is noted for its modified rear suspension and added turn signals, and it was often adapted for specialised roles, including 106mm rifle mounts or ambulance conversion.
