The numbers i found look like US Army 3p26068 then under that it looks like something Calvary. The strange thing the numbers and star were black. Is this right?

More than likely the "P" is a "B" The letters where place holders for the thousands in the second numbering system which started with 1968 trucks. I have never seen a letter place holder higher then "H" in our series of trucks. If it is a "B" it would indicate that your truck was the 1,260th class 3 truck accepted for the year 1968 which should indicate that it is more than likely a Feb or March delivery date on the dash panel.
The black markings (subdued markings) started in Germany in the early 70's as we figured out that great big white markings stood out in a camouflage situations. Your truck would have left the factory with white markings but was repainted in Germany with subdued markings sometime in the very early 70's.

I have been trying to upload a few pics. The numbers I can make out look like 0 or G 3p26068 the truck 32893 12/68 so it was at the end of 68. Thank You all for the help.

Truck numbers confirmed they are 03p26068 the number on tailgate is the same as the number under the hood.
I agree that the "P" in your numbers doesn't seem right. I have never seen anything higher that "H" in that position. 03 is the weight class for the 1.25 ton trucks. Usual letters in the following position is G or H.
Well now I have never seen anything higher than "J" in that position.
