| Engine: | 4 Cylinder Gasoline |
| Miscellaneous Info: | The A2 was the final
version of the M151 Mutt and which ended production in 1978.
The main
physical difference that can be noted from the outside between this
version and the M151A1, was the
introduction of a small turn signal on the A2's top forward fender. However, the major difference from the previous M151 and M151A1 was a final change in the rear suspension to decrease possible rollover. A Roll-Over Protective Cage (ROP) modification also became common in the later years on nearly all vehicles still in service. |
