Correct paint for 1973 5 ton dump truck

[Robo McDuff]

What is the correct paint for the later M39 - M5x series trucks (and presumably everything else as well).

I have a 1973 Kaiser dump truck, in one color, and like to at least repaint some rusted areas.

From the Olive Drab website, I figured out some numbers for the 1968 - 1984 period.

OD 34087 (same as X34087)
OD 24087 (same as X24087)
OD 14087 (same as X14087)
Colors not the same as FS595 same numbers

What is the correct one for my truck?

I understand that thse are numbers used by the US military forces. Any link to existing international color numbers used in the civil world?

What era do you want to represent ? 1973 trucks came od with stars on the hood and doors and white lettering. Around 1975 camo colors became the rage, no stars and black lettering. 1973 trucks were frequently repainted in the field with parts brushes etc. Still later desert tan may have been applied to the same vehicle.

The truck was never deployed although the son of the Dutch owner painted RAMBO on the front-top of the nose (very original )

It s a 1973, so the original olive-drab without camo, as it was (see pictures in first thread) and without rust.

Where possible, we will restore the original white lettering and stars (found some on the hood).

Looking for the oringal WD-CARC or something better, as long as the color matches because I don't plan to repaint the whole thing from scratch.
