Lewis with the 2/75th inf Rangers in the early 80's and have been up the north face of Mt Ranier Man that shot brought back some memories keep up the good work.

thanks everyone for checking my rig out. Yea if it was for peoples help i dont think i could have done this alone. Took a day off today so i can get ready for my vacation next week by going to get the gear from the parents woohoo. cant wait to see how it turns out.


Question. should i put a white star or black star or no star on teh side of the door? im going to go with my cousins markings that im naming the truck after

Did the military just paint the bare wood or did they put some sort of primer on the troop seats?

Scotty, they just CARC'd everything. You could rough up any smooth portions to ensure your carc substitute will hold.

Hey scott, I used a wagner paint eater on all of my troop seats before I painted. It brought them all down to tan wood. They look really nice now minus just a couple spots. The seats seem to just soak up the 383.

Scott's dad replaced all the slats with new wood so there is no paint to be "eaten" Thanks for the advice though, On my cucv I just ran over the slats with a hand planer and problem solved.

Here you go Scotty! 2" unit markings and 1" for the TP/diesel. 5 minutes and a rattle can and she will be up to spec

I needed to make a few stencils at work and somehow a few extra came out.....wierd how that happens. My PLT was released for the day so I did this on my own time.

Hey Scott there's member from CA that did just that on their front bumper. Looked pretty clean. I think her name was like "Deuces wild" or something like that.
