It is unrestored original paint. It is severely faded and thin in places and if it is not repainted soon to seal the metal back up it would surely start getting rusty. I'm very lucky to get it as it is, because another year or two left unattended and it would have been a real rust bucket. I am...

Well my wife and daughter left me and my son unattended this past weekend while they were gone to a dance competition and the Green Iron Disease bit again. So across the state we went to pick up another 1967 M725 to add into the motorpool. I bought this one well under market value as it complete...

Interesting decal, I'm not sure if I could reproduce one exactly like that, but I could probably make something similar looking in a one-color decal or paint mask.

The font is a special font that the federal government uses for all kinds of markings from vehicles to signs. Here is a quick thrown together look with the font to show you want it would look like.

I do not, I got mine from work as we used to get them for motorcycle displays. They are called Bendy Mannequins and are usually pretty expensive.

Check out my website, http://www.deltateamdecals.com/ although I don't show Air force kits per say on the website, I can and do make them. I also have the correct font as it was used by all the branches back then. I can make them in either yellow decals or paint masks.

Yep I would go for the standard M249 as that is the one most vet's will have an interest in. I've used airsoft replicas in my vehicle displays for years and they really help set the mood for the vehicle. I use an airsoft M60 and several M16a1's and 1911's in my Vietnam era display and most...

Anybody else heading to the MVPA show in South Bend this weekend? I'll be heading down with my M715 for display and will hanging out around the vehicle if you want to stop by and say hello. Of course, I'll be wandering around the swap meet areas as well searching for gold covered in OD green...

What was truly amazing was that this was the first time in 18 years that I did not drive one of my trucks for the parade. Instead my 16 year old son Zach got the honor of driving the M715 with me and the veterans in it.

Pics from our parade here in Hart Michigan, I only was able to get 4 of my 5 trucks ready (Dodge M37 needs valve seals). But we still had a great time and had plenty of people.

Our local one here in Hart Michigan is Monday and I'll be doing my usual by bring in all 5 of my trucks for the local veterans to ride in.

Looks like a solid start. Does it still have the litter racks in the back? Those can sometimes be a pain to track down if they are missing. Good luck and make sure to post lots of pics.

I know they closed down, but I'm not sure if it's permanent or just temporary. If you need marking check out this website, http://www.deltateamdecals.com/ as they can make markings in both decals and paint masks.

Yes, 5F 4585 would be a registration number for a US Army vehicle. The Marines and Air Force both used different numbering systems. If you need help with marking when you are ready to put them back on, check out my webpage for markings www.deltateamdecals.com , although not listed there I can...

My father's 313th ASA Crest pin still on his old Ridgeway hat, this hangs in my collection room. Him wearing it in Florida during the Cuban Missile Crisis

Yep Dad was with the 313th out of FT Bragg in 62' and 63' but spent most of his time in Key West for the Cuban Missile Crisis. He spent a lot of time in the back of an M37 with a AN/MLQ-24 monitoring Cuban radar. Here are a few pics from that time period. M37 on the beach at the Grassy Key...

That's cool to see another truck marked for an ASA company. Several of my trucks are marked as ASA trucks representing the ASA units my father served with. He was with the 226th ASA and 313th ASA in the 60's.

The red C goes on one side of the holder plate that locks into the top to hold all the number plates. To display the C for combined weight (aka with a towed trailer) you turn the holder plate so the red C faces out and locks the number plates in. To display without the combined weight you turn...

You can get a decal set to remark the bridge plates fairly cheaply from here; http://www.deltateamdecals.com/bridgeplate.html It's only $10 and comes with every number and the red C.

Was a little disappointed when I arrived on Saturday, there was not much going on, only a few vendors there and a few vehicles on display. Nothing like it has been in the past were almost the whole field is filled up. Didn't stay long, took a walk through and saw everything in 15 minutes and...
