I don't see how that would ever be an issue. Paint is paint regardless of what the can say's it's meant for. And if they really must know, just tell them you didn't paint it. The Military or previous owners did. :lol:

That's how I got the above info in the first place, I made a post on my trucks info in his 2011 VIN thread. Old Fart, you should do the same! The trickiest part for me was finding my M220's NSN. I can PM you this number and hopefully you can get some info on your M220. Funny thing you mention a...

That made my mind up, semi gloss it is. Very nice trucks. Can I see a few more pics of the M135? I have seen a few pics of it before and I could have SWORE up and down you did it with Gillespie or some other 24087 enamel. Great job!

I was not sure where to post this, but this is the most active section on the forum. Mods, please feel free to move the post to a more appropriate section if need be. After doing some history on my deuce I was found the truck was once marked with the number WTY9AA which translates to it having...

Thank you so much, CARNAC! I looked up the number you gave me, WTY9AA. Google brought up a PDF file off a ROTC National Guard website that lists all the NG units accross the USA. After scanning down 91 pages I finally found my number! UIC OFF BR UNIT #...

I was contemplating going with Behr's semi gloss matched to 24087 instead of the flat. Which do you think is better at standing up to the sun?

Just be sure to cover up any rusted areas with a rusty metal primer which the Behr will adhere to quite well. Otherwise the rust will stain through the paint. Also prime bare metal. For those of you with CARC on your trucks, the Behr should adhere like nobody's business.

Not able to take pics right now, all I did was take the fording cap off the dash intake. It hadn't seen the light of day in over 57 years so it was factory fresh 24087 OD Semi Gloss. Just give it to your paint guy and he will get it 100% matched with the laser eye machine. You can get a small...

I have spilled gasoline and diesel on my bumper, along with grease and brake fluid. The Behr has been extremely tough, in fact it BEATS the durability of some smoke gray Rustoleum enamel I sprayed on some engine components. The drawbacks are few, but it does have a long cure time. Contrary to...

For my 1954 GMC M220 Shop Van Serial # is 638 Registration # is 00129381 NSN is 2320008358600 Purchased in GLENDALE, AZ in the early 80's at an O club auction as "residue". No SF97. Was Luke Air Force Base I believe. Bumpers not legible. I really appreciate this service, Carnac. Tom

Would anyone know the average cost to completely redo all the steel lines on the GMC's? I am ready to start doing mine but can't decide to go with pre double flared tubing or buy a huge roll of tubing and do everything myself.

Thanks for the information, I will either go with pre double lap flared tubing or just invest in a quality tool kit and do all the flares myself.

Yep, single circuit and very similar to the M35 series. I did not think of the Dot 3 thing. It was never updated to silicone fluid either as was retired from service sometime in the 70's. I will replace them then. Any idea how much it runs to redo an entire truck? I already have a tube bender...

Provided the steel lines are in good shape with no rust, dents, cracks or other externally visible damage, is there any harm in keeping our trucks original steel brake lines? My truck is a little older than most deuce owners, nearly 58 years old. But it's been an Arizona truck it's entire life...

I can't wait to see pics of the engine swap. I love my hot rod deuce. It has a 455 Olds and Th400 in it. It's not even a smog motor, made in 1970 and taken out of a Delta 88. 350 ponies and over 400lbs of torque. I am running the original 24V Ford Autolite Generator & Regulator out of the...

Not to kick a dead horse, but can someone confirm if this is indeed an S280 box? If so, I am going to get it and drop it right onto my cargo body. How cool is that? Beats the heck out of the 109 boxes.

If I were to do something like this I would never chop into the cab or chop up another cab from a donor truck. To me the idea of being able to unbolt the cargo bed, van body, etc from these trucks and slap whatever you want onto the chassis is just plain COOL. These trucks are like Ruger...

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this, a 4 door M211. www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=135118

:funny:

I attached them to a bolt that's already on the firewall, I made sure it was not painted underneath. I appreciate all the replies! I try not to take these forums for granted......
