All this may be true but what the heck can they do? Nothing other than
carry four people maybe. I had an uncut restored M151 and I sold it and
have NEVER regretted it for one moment. It all depends on what you want. I
wouldn't trade my M35A2C for an M151. Maybe some other Jeep but not one of
those.
