    New ones, teking? If so, what do you want to let me have a rubber hose for then?


    'K, this was yesterday:



    Little bit of green on there, eh?



    And here's how it looks as of today:




    Fisherman did an awesome job! My hasty bodywork sure comes through though...

    Starting to look real nice. These trucks always look a lot better once they go back to green. It is amazing how well paint shows every little defect in the body. Oh well, it's an old military truck, it had body defects when it left the factory.

    That's true on the body defects. I know guys who try to putty up the spot weld marks on M151s and its like dude those are supose to be there....

    Timmy why is it so shinny? Is it just the paint is wet?

    OOOOH You have the 100 amp Resistor in the front...than means your truck could have been a commo truck! Cool!

    Yeah, the paint had just been shot. It had started to flatten out a bit by the time I left last night.

    Yeah, I have the 100 amp gear in there. I had a red placard/sticker on the dash above the 3-lever switch warning to shut off the radios before starting or shutting off the engine. Not sure if that placard/sticker is common on non-radio trucks or not, but it did hint in that direction to me.

    I'll get a shot of it when I get it on the trailer later today. Out in the sunshine with the paint 24-hours old. Gotta hurry up and do the windshield now!

    Bob, we used Gillespie Semi-gloss Marine Corps green, 34052 I think was the #. Looks great all dry and in the sunshine. The picture was within minutes of painting, under fluorescent lighting. Fisherman

    That's it timmah! You have to get a commo shelter and a whole bunch of radios and put it in the truck! Forget the troop seats man that would be the shizzle!...

    Its looking good Tim and I think when you have it all done in what ever configuration you decide it will look great. Keep up the good work!

    Yeah, no flash under fluorescent lighting while it was still shiny-wet.

    BTW,it's 24052.

    FYI, shooting all exterior body panels, both bumpers, the entire cab interior, and the inside walls of the bed, plus troop seat brackets and one seat frame, two [2] coats each, took just shy of a gallon and a half.

    Here's what it looks like in the sunlight after it had a chance to cure for 24 hours:



    That was Fisherman taking it for a spin just before we put it back up on my trailer for the trip home. Sure beats yellow, huh?!
