Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
When i was active and deploying we all had to put a 1< on our doors this was to designate what "part" we were of the fighting force. We also had WDOJCO on every truck in the batallion. The letter codes are not a vehicle identifier. it's a battalion identifier from what i understand. BTW the battalion no longer exists so i figured it'd be ok to post.
Here is what was on my 1009, including original door markings and those modified to suit an old Marine (interesting what you can do when you have a spare hour and some stick-on lettering). Those white door panels are reflective, so not very tactical. This one was apparently a range truck on Camp Perry.I am still trying to get pictures of what markings (TP, Warnings, ETC) others have or have seen on Cucvs (Spec. M1009). Any help would be appreciated.
By pink, RC means PINK!!!Welcome aboard Brother, Semper Fi!
If you think brown is ugly, just be glad it wasn't pink (and I do mean pink, a lascivious shade thereof) like Pawnshop's.
His has recovered now, but will eternally carry the name Pinky....

I'm going to use Gillespie paint with the "full repaint" 3-colour camo pattern (which looks much better). Two for one painting sounds good to me!When you decide to paint, let me know.
I would assume you will attempt to use CARC. We can do a two for one paint day.
If I correctly recall what Sarge (who ran a USAF motorpool for many years) told me, K stands for tactical trucks, and C was for admin vehicles. I will ask him tomorrow (Sunday) when I see him.Does anyone know the breakdown of the Air Force vehicle numbers that are painted on the door. As I recall the first two digits are always the year of the vehicle and the only third character I ever recall seeing was "K". Where other letters used for different types of vehicles? What do the last several characters represent?
Dave that is your bridge plate marking, 4tonsMy M1028 has a 6" broken circle with a 4 inside of it painted on the passenger side door. I'm not sure, but I think the truck came from the Indiana National Guard.
Of course, it'll be centered and in differing font sizes, but you get the idea.U.S. AIR FORCE
