These are all very nice, I'd buy any of them!
My only suggestion would be (as noted above) to lighten the lettering; instead of Black, how about a lighter color so that they are easier to read (such as "STEEL SOLDIERS" lettering)? A lighter beige or tan with black outline would stand out well...
Since it's a former USMC tank, were there any markings or insignia on it? I was a tanker in the 1st Tank Battalion (Camp Pendleton) in C Co, 3rd Platoon; then A Co. for AVLBs back in the 1980s. It seems to have the woodland camo job the 1st Tanks had; I remember the little unit at 29 Palms...
When reinstalling the power pack, be VERY CAREFUL not to puncture the fuel tanks alongside the hull...it is easy to do (don't ask me how I know.... :roll: )

The hardest part of pulling &...

WOW that truck looks GREAT! Good job!
I've seen photos of M105 trailers with 46" tires (aka 395/85R20 or 15.5x20 as you have), there doesn't seem to be much clearance between the tire and the fender. Also some members here have run 14.50x20 tires from M35A3 on M105s, which seem to fit without...
Looks like your power steering reservoir cap is missing the vent filter; probably why "oil" is splashed all over everything nearby.
