I don't know. My other side of the brain is telling me why would anyone want to sit in the driver's seat over a fuel tank in a vehicle that had a potential for explosions and bullets flying around it?

I have always said why do you want to sit on the side of a head on collision considering they are usually not totally head on but more towards the centerline of the road. Problem is that moving the drivers position does not help when you also put the car on the other side of the road, now you are right back in the middle again.?

Thanks for the pictures of the right hand drive M151A2. I did see this picture somewhere on the internet but don't know its origin.

Fil , I received an E-Mail from a guy that wanted information on rear quarter pannels for his M 151. Do you have his E-Mail address so I can reply to him?

Here is a photo and some info about a MUTT in Australian Army service. Interestingly it has Australian Army number plates 108-173 which indicates it was probably taken on strength.
