The one I kept, and one that got away!
Just sold this. My ugly self in front of our Volunteer Fire Dept:
And the one I am keeping. I have owned it too long to part with this one. Served as my farm helper for many years. Did a lot of work over the winter to her. I bought the M416 at a DRMO auction when they still did them on base, in 1992. I still have the SF97:
And my favorite photo, SGT Buddy, our Bernese Mountain Dog. I call him Buddy the Jeep Dog, as he jumps into the old truck whenever I start her up:

Thanks for sharing. Those are a couple of good looking M151s.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you get for the one you sold?

I know the Semi-gloss OD is the original color for these, but I will say i favor the camo.

Thanks Bryan. I did the paint as we had them in the early 80's, kind of partial to it also.
I really like the desert camo Lindsay did on his, unique and well done.
Welcome anytime Seabee. Would be great to meet some other 838ers.
