Bumper number etiquete

[bansil]

Sorry for mis-spelling in title
May be a silly question for some.
How does the community feel about putting bumper numbers from a unit you served with(desert storm) on a truck that didn't "serve" with that unit?
I am looking to purchase this spring and I want a set of #'s that mean a lot to me.My wife say's do it...I want some other opinions,don't want to do something "wrong"
Thanks

Do it.

 

[CARNAC]

Absolutely no issue what so ever. I am planning to do the exact same for my CUCV. Now my deuce was my vehicle and still has the original bumper numbers.

Who were you with in ODS?

Do it! I'm putting the numbes from the unit a friend served in when in Iraq in honor of his service--even though my A3 served these with the Army National Guard.

I am doing my old CAV numbers on mine. Makes me feel at home again.

My Dad is doing the other wing tank numbers on his.

I don't see how i could offend anybody

 

[srodocker]

my truck has my cousins unit on it and his nickname on the side.

 

[Billy Bobbed]

Go ahead, it's your story and your truck! No squawks here!

I plan on putting my infantry units numbers on one even though it is a M820s.

I think I will throw the wife's commo unit on the other one if she is interested.

 

[AceHigh]

I put mine on both trucks

(even tho the unit had NO TRUCKS!)

so sue me.

 

[jimmcld]

My unit didn't even have a truck but I still put their number on my M816.

 

[gunboy1656]

I am numbering my deuce with my old unit numbers.

Lol....your truck is my dream truck, I'm looking at an interim truck a saving project kind of(its beat up bad and will get bobbed)...our pms may still work at this spring/summer for my dream 6x6 duece to support two bobs ,wife wants one also,and yours is the perfect support vehicle for both of them if she's still availible.

I served as a 19K with 3rd ACR , wow its been 20yrs.

Thanks for responces

I'd just say you earned the right...so do it

 

[6x6guy]

Due respect- go for it.

I'd say go for it. I'm thinking of puting the markings back on my deuce from the unit it came from. I just have to figure out what markings it had and where they go. All it has on it now is B15 on the left corner of the front bumper. It came from the 730th ASMC, SD Army National Guard. I'd like to give them some credit for taking really good care of it.
