Military Vehicle Spotlight: 1968 M151A1

In 1951, the U.S. Army contracted Ford Motor Company to develop a new type of light utility truck that would incorporate the automotive industry’s latest innovations. That eventually became the underpinnings of the M151 and M151A1.

After firing a spotting round from either a 20mm (M28) or a 37mm (M29) gun attached to the Davy Crockett launch tube to determine the proper distance and angle for the target, the crew inserted a propellant charge down the muzzle, followed by a metal piston. They then loaded the sub-caliber spigot on the rear of the M388 projectile into the barrel of the launcher like a rifle grenade.
