Anyone ever manage to find the TF 55-3707 (Training Film)
regarding special driving of the M151
After all this time?
It's mentioned in this PS mag in an M151C precaution page. https://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00076787/00027/7x

Thanks Surveyor, excellent Video (even if blurred it over the years), all M151 owners should review it, if only to watch a T-Bird tow a jeep at ludicrous speed :shock: across a 4 foot high ramp and expect it NOT to roll over....Have to wonder if they put a GPW through that same test what would have happened, or re do it with a HUMVEE even...
Yeah the vehicle can roll, but it was designed to go anywhere, not be a race car, or Dune buggy, rather get the troop and load there (and maybe return)

Thanks again for locating it.

There were three driver training videos, the very first one was TF55-3412 (1965) which was mentioned in PS 137 and that was followed by TF55-3707 (1967) and then the last one, TF55-4247 (1971) which featured the M151A2-series.

The second and the last are available, although in poor quality, on U-tube but the 1965 version has eluded me and even the US Military Audio-Visual library in Ca didn't have a copy...... it was probably shredded when the second video was issued.

Between March 1963 and March 1973, there were 8 issues of the DA Circular 385-series which dealt with the safe operation of the M151-series along with a DA Pamphlet 350-32-1 Operator Training Course, Truck M151-series.

It seems that from late 1962, safety of the M151 vehicle was starting to become an issue for the army as the accident reports started to trickle in. All interesting stuff !
