m75 detailing

[aasurplus]

well guys after 5 years my M75 is running and inside is done and just need to put paint on the outside. going to do the 24087 for outside but the bigger question is does anyone have a picture of one with the proper markings on it as I'm having a heck of a time finding any information on the proper marking for the unit..

any help here would be great.
cheers,

mark

I would like to see it anyway. The worse it looks now will give us an idea on how hard you are going to have to work on it.

RE: pcs

keep me up to date as I just bought the M75 that was going to cut up in Montana. I will be starting down the road you have just traveled.

Mark,
if the correct markings are still an issue to you, you might want to check the TB-746-93-1

"1964-1976 Color and Marking of Military Vehicles, Construction Equipment, and Materials Handling Equipment"

see
http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?module=pagesetter&type=file&func=get&tid=1&fid=file&pid=216

Check page 7 for the correct locations on your vehicle.
That TB helped me a lot on my deuce project.

Regards,
Mark

I can only kinda make out the markings. It looks like it COULD be, just maybe-1st armored division, 3rd battalion 73rd infantry.

WOW !!! What a difference , great job .

 

[maddawg308]

Fantastic job!

I like the "NOS" that was spraybombed on the side of the rusty M75 when you got it. I don't think so!

 

[SCSG-G4]

I think that "NOS" stands for "Now Out of Service"!

 

[maddawg308]

I think it stands for National Oxidation Standard. Now our rust issues can be gauged around this.

Give me until this weekend as I'll be out at our museum where we have one. I have to take some pics of our V100 as is and start the M60A3 thats sitting 15 ft from the M75 so it won't be any hassle to get you some photos. The interior on this one is not 100% restored (plus its locked and winterized) so I'll just get the outside shots.

I can send you a bunch of different M75s in service that show markings.

Email me, I would be happy to send them to you. We went through the same thing when we did this one.
