I did the bed and floor of my M715 with roll on rhino liner... Zero complaints.

😁😆😅 The bit really is good for breaking loose dirt, paint, rust etc. You'll also find out where your metal is rotted, if it is.

I would hit it with the concrete bit, use a scraper or something to get rid of the flake paint/rust, spray on the rust treatment, prime those areas with self etching primer (Autozone, 12.00/can) then spray.

Also, I can't speak for the Behr, but the Sherwin-Williams hold up outstandingly well with mud and pressure washing.

It's water based, so easy prep/clean. I pressure wash my truck with a concrete bit the first time to blast any loose stuff off ,that REALLY worked on my M715: Then, depending on if the primer/paint is still there (as it was on the M715) I will spray it with an airless sprayer from Lowes. No...

I used Sherwin-Williams weathershield on mine and it's lasted 2+ years through lots of mud, sand and pressure washing.

Believe it or not, when my 5 ton was desert tan, I took a chip to Lowes and had them color match it, then used house paint to touch up areas needing it, and it all blended perfectly.

Thank you both!

All- A FB friend sent me some found pics and was trying to figure out the Era. They are definitely Marine Corps pics, and if I had to guess, I would say from Korea in the 50s. Here's an old deuce, but for the life of me I cannot figure out which one, so I thought I'd throw it out. And...

Yeah, the trailer was ok, but the house we rented had a "no trailer on the property" rule, so it was just easier.

I have a complete rebuild thread HERE, in the mean time, I've decided to change her registration from a regular vehicle to Historic Military Vehicle, so in accordance with Louisiana law, "Dirty Gerty" had to come off of the hood, to be replaced by her VIN: Of course, now my brain is...

Gerty has also been known to show up for car shows and benefits... A local scout troop was having their derby car races at the same time/location as this car show and they voted on best vehicle, and presented me with a homemade scout trophy (which is one of my most favorite!) We hooked her...

You can call Gerty a lot of things, but Pavement Princess isn't one of them

I use a soap designed to kill mold etc on houses for a pressure washer (but in a bucket) and a scrub brush, rinse with fresh water and install to dry.

Then it was interior: And exterior (wheels, tools fuel can etc) Along the way I picked up a M1061A1 trailer from @fuzzytoaster and dovetailed it so I can haul the M715 and M37 (eventually) behind the 5 ton...

Then... cleanup, pressure washing (all of the green paint washed off woth a concrete bit!), then a LOT of paint... Some tires came in along the way... @G744 helped me out with some kick ass OG blinker/BO lights and brackets... Added some front blinkers And a new soft top...

Then it was replacing the 12v alternator with a 24v alternator, replacing the points with a Pertonix Electonic ignition Then turning her over... with a "jump bottle" of gas to the carb... Then we wanted to purge the fuel line/pump, so we put 2 gallons of gas in the tank and started turning...

Well, I can't compete with a giant cock and balls.... 😆😁😅 But I'll continue the rebuild story... The next step was a pressure wash, airing up the tires, then figuring out a plan of attack... The first decision was to remove the home made hard top and rewire it back to 24v. I was fortunate...

Well, I first saw Gerty when I was at @Csm Davis place when I went to pick up some parts for my 5 ton.... she was tucked WAY back in the bushes and I casually asked if it was for sale... his answer "Everything on this property is for sale!" Being as I was just starting to really get busy with...

I have the EYECON light kit on my 5 ton, and the only power issue I ran into was running them when I wasn't running the truck and drained my batteries. (In defense of the lights, I was only running with 2 instead of 4 batteries). As far as damaging my electrical system, 2 years later and no...
