I just keep admiring this truck. I like the short wheelbase, the style of the body, and it just dawned on me, the paint. Karl would you mind sharing the information on the paint?
Good info David, we use to have a fellow up at the Colorado State Forrest Service in Ft Collins by the name of Kirk Herzman, his specialty was the hydromatic transmissions. I use to marvel at this man's knowledge of all the military equipment. He suddenly developed Pancreatic cancer if I recall correctly, and within a few weeks, passed away. It took awhile for a lot of us to find out. Very upsetting. I remember buying two of the four M656's he had at the yard. I was interested in keeping them original and freshening them up. I asked about information on them and where I might obtain manuals. When he found out what I intended to do with them he led me into a back room filled with shelves of manuals and gave me a complete set of manuals. The folks up at the Wyoming State Forrest Service Maintenance Shops are also a tremendous bunch. I love the kind of spirit and downhome values these folks possess.
Regards,
