Hello Gents
I am working on a motorpool like restoration project just a little neater and cleaner and am at a point where I am ready to start putting on some detail and markings.
My truck is a 1971 and I am painting it in the 4 color cammo of that era exept with only 3 colors ( like my avatar) I am trying to keep the truck as close to as it left the military as possible and in the paint job it left with they left out the sand color paint .
so now it will be field drab, forrest green and black.
To get to my point
on a 1970 era truck would you have seen the flat white on the bumperetts with the unit info painted on that as well as white front bumper tips with the same info?
I recall seeing this when I was in in the early 1980's
as well as the shackles were painted white.
On the tail light brackets there is the service and emergency plates are the plates black with white letters and the dot is red or yellow depending on the side?
I also seem to remember on the outside of the bumperetts from where the tail light bracket mounts to about 3 to 4 inches in front of that there was a red or yellow stripe showing service or emergency .
Has anyone seen this combo or have other Ideas/
Thanks Jerry
