The second M151 has the blinkers painted over.

My old '67 had one rectangular side view mirror like those pictured. I changed it out for the small round one because I thought it was "more correct" for the period. Shows what I know :oops: .

Great pics. Just what I was looking for in my "Field expedient weapon mount" thread. Thanks for sharing.

Those mirrors are interesting, I was also of the impression that they came in with the A2 and were retrofitted to the A1. Quite obviously not the case.

Upper right corner of the radiator may have had, or needs, a "field expedient" repair. Looks a little hollow. Also, the windshield mounting bolts look new.(Or maybe just painted a light color.)
