Daryl’s Deuce Resto

[ToddJK]

I've seen lots of colors and ideas on different restorations, but that yellow on the clevises and winch chain is different and just pops, looks really good!

You are churning this out at what seems like impressive speed. Your next few trucks will go even more quickly!

Every free moment! My lawn is a foot high! I’ll have to find another project when this one is done. I’ve heard they multiply on their own.

Good for safety reasons also.
Wonderful job done.

Looking great. Seems to be on the finishing stretch now.

Thank you! A couple more weeks. The doors need to cure so I can add their stars and the bridge weight class. Almost home.

Thanks. The inspiration came from the Deuce on the back cover of my much dog eared copy of David Doyle’s Standard Catalog of US MilitaryVehicles and old photos/videos of Vietnam era transportation companies. I’ve noticed lots of small unit non standard markings. The yellow is a gloss version of 33538 insignia yellow. I’ll do the RH door bridge class in the proper flat. This has been loads of fun to paint.

3 1/2 gallons of 24087 and I missed a spot!

We’ve got doors again!

Added a light switch adapter from Erik’s Military Supply so I can keep the park lamps on with the headlights.

Well, there. 95% done, just a few bugs to work out and door seals. First run today in I don’t know how long.

Very nice!

I thought I was done painting! Working on some wheels. Scored one new tire, in search of another.
