Looks great!
I always thought it was funny that they still decided to paint the engines bright silver when everything else on the truck was a flat olive green.

Yeah, same. At least this way it’s easier to see the leaks.

I heard silver from the factory, OD being applied by the Army during resprays.
Mine was silver underneath OD.

Putting all the fiddly bits on the engine. Focusing on starting the engine.
