STENCIL CLARIFICATION

Post by HingsingM37 »

I went to the RicK Larsen page and was surprised by how many styles of stencil fonts there were. Which would be correct for a Vietnam era truck, the solid block letters or the letters with the cut lines?
The door bridge plate decal, was there one on each door or just the passenger side?

Hood numbers were solid block.
Bumper and other markings were stencil style (done by the units).
M37's up to the B1 had 3" hood numbers. B1s 2" hood numbers.
Door weight decal on passenger side, but I have seen on both doors.
Hope this helps?!
