wareagle · 11-05-2004, 07:43 PM

I'm thinking of painting my 75 c-10 in the good ol' od green and black military scheme. Anyone got any good pics of trucks in this era, or any good links relating to 73-87 military trucks? Thanks!

Fry · 11-05-2004, 08:13 PM

heres a few from my archives...

wareagle · 11-05-2004, 08:56 PM

thanks for the pics. I think i'm either gonna paint it flat black or od...still cant make up my mind. :/

Fry · 11-05-2004, 10:54 PM

be different go like a flat blue or orange or something. Thats what I'm doing for my blazer when I get her done, if I go 4x4 route.
Heres some more flat colors to ponder.
Sorry they are mostly blazer pics but thats mostly what I look for.

Fry · 11-05-2004, 10:59 PM

but you can never go wrong with olive drab or flat black.
I assuming your talking about a 4x4?

On one of the other builds they where gonna go with hot rodz flatz red. IT is really cool looking color

Prerunner1982 · 04-25-2008, 07:34 PM

You get the idea..

Frosty · 04-25-2008, 09:28 PM

This is what mine used to look like before I started sanding off the rust. Not a true Military paint job but I thought it looked good.

bigblock73 · 04-25-2008, 09:32 PM

rod86 · 04-26-2008, 07:54 AM

one of them sure would be pretty kool. wat would the deal be seeing as theyre US government property? special title?

watahyahknow · 04-26-2008, 12:09 PM

army material never gets a normal title same as airportstuff so the army gives a paper with it with the productiondate and type of truck on it and you need to bring that with the truck to the TÜv and get a title there or at least the aproval form (we call it the german letter ), after that you can have it aproved in every part of the european union .
the good thing about most of these trucks is that there rarely used ambulances are usuaoly only run stationairy for a while and then turned off and left in storage so there hardly rusted and thechnically in pretty good shape

Go to steel soldiers websites under CUCV, lots of 'em there.

Prerunner1982 · 04-26-2008, 02:50 PM
