Thanks Bert. Most folks seeing it in person are surprized I painted it with spray cans, guess all those years with the airbrush paid off! :mrgreen:

Truck looks fantastic. Thank you for posting this image. Those of us who's trucks are just a rusty pile of parts, this is a great motivator to keep on working towards that goal ( an "M" that looks like yours).

Warren,
You have a very nice truck. Excellent job. Thanks for the history on the hood stripe, I had seen the yellow on some Nam' trucks but never knew the purpose :wink:

Warren,

What size star did you use on the door and hood? I like the slightly smaller one that you used on the door.

I'm curious as to what shade of OD is your rig painted? It doesn't look like 24087* to me. looks more like the late WWII semigloss.

* Well, it doesn't look like the Gillespie coatings 24087 is what I mean.
