I have a .PDF version of TB 43-0209 COLOR, MARKING, AND CAMOUFLAGE PAINTING OF MILITARY VEHICLES, CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT 1990 Gettting ready to paint it, was wondering about Marine markings

Hey Frank. Does that NATOPS manual have a section on markings? Camo Patterns? Bob

It's a rust bucket & will need tires to get it from Michigan to Florida. Yet I anticipate getting $700 +, locally.

Here it is in the back yard still on the trailer. Let the work begin! 1st I'll get that red primer :roll: covered up with some olive drab Then transfer the wheels & tires, hitch & other goods from the M882 The troop seats & top bows off the parts M882. Then piece the other M882 back together...

Well his asking price is $2195, it is about 70 miles away from me. Ken, Any more info on Anyway I had called this guy Friday and asked his lowest possible price, told him there was no way it was worth over $1500, He said he'd part it out first. He called back last night saying he'd take $1500.

ODD Olive Drab Disease

Nice Truck! [thumbzup]

That Ambulance did not have a M designation. would typically have been stateside. it's a K3500 cab & chassis with an Ambulance body probably from Mark Body Co. here in Michigan USA

Those wheels & tires fit the lift nicely! Ida, I'm a sucker for these old Dodges & always looking for parts & parts trucks

Documentation / paper trail that was left in the truck when I got it from GSA auction.

I had thought about clarifying my earlier post, No I do not have a line on a truck, just my hopes. I have an M882 that I am parting out. That's my trucks "retirement" date. minimum length of use for a vehicle is 12 yrs, that would take them to 89. I have {somewhere} a pic of an M886 from...

Ok it's been a month & no one has posted here :? The cab mounts / floor and many other parts of my M882 have lost the rust battle. I want a rust free body for it. Problem is I can't afford it :cry: So I've been giving some thought about................... Trading my rare M886 for a rust...

Oh yeah! Copying paint numbers down now. :)

I'm guessing that it doesn't have a data tag on the dash? Could have been, a M880, M882, M883, M884 etc. even a civilian truck. hard to say without more info. The M880 / M890 were the base of the series, they would have normally come with troop seats and a canvas like cover, among other things.

24 volt generator

They were basically the same thing, the rear bumper was reenforced for the pintle hook tow hooks were added up front, the engines are non-EGR , some had 12 & 24 volt, there are differences, suspension & running gear were the same as the W200 and they LOOK far tougher than a civilian one.

Yes they do, but do the registration #'s of all M880's start with NG?

Yes they are, Why we call a civilian truck with a 2500 lb payload capacity a 3/4 ton is a mystery to me. The military said ok 2500 payload that's 1 1/4 ton. You can get 99% of the parts needed for these things at your local parts store, just tell them it's a 77 W200.
