Remember the M151 Mutt well, was in army 68-70. Drove one a fair number of times and yep one did not want to make a quick turn in it while going fast. I learned that quite quick about driving the Mutt.

Was in Vietnam in 1969 in a Mech Inf Bn in the 9th Divison. Worked in the Bn S2 section and frequently I had to drive our Mutt somewhere on intel business. Only road to our base camp was a dirt one and our APCs and heavy trucks kept it in pretty bad shape. One didn't drive down this road, better to describe you bounced down this road. About 300 yds away on one side of the road was a treeline. One could always expect a sniper somewhere along the road to put a few rounds in your direction. Sniper never hit anyone, but as I learned, every once in awhile one of his rounds would be close enough to hear the crack of the bullet fly past the jeep.

Our S2 Mutt had a continuous crack that began above one rear fender well, ran across the rear floor and down the other side of rear fender. By time I'd arrived the crack had been spot welded a number of times and I'd have it rewelded too. Darn mutt would always start and get us where we needed to go. Well, there was one day another S2 guy found himself in a rice field due to something breaking in the steering as he went to turn at the one decent curve on road from our base camp.

At one of the reunions held by my Vietnam Bn every two years at Ft. Benning, I found out what happened to our Mutt after I left Nam. LOL, it was buried at entrance into our base camp, to reduce hole dug by our APCs turning when leaving our base.
