You failed to mention what branch of service your truck belonged to. That will make a difference when choosing the color. Normally, the troop seats, cargo bows, etc. were all painted the same color as the rest of the truck...usually out of the same can of paint.

Also, for the most part the older trucks were painted a different shade of OD than later B1 series trucks. Any of the paint dealers however can guide you in this regard.
