Re: military trucks.
I drove a military themed 60-66 Chevy short bed step side in the Marines at MCAS Yuma back in 1967-68. It was battleship gray with stenciled letters on the door. They said something like “Property US Marine Corps, for official use only, and the serial number”. Sorry no pictures.
But I suppose you mean something more like a camouflage paint job. Here’s an earlier thread that might be what you’re looking for: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...highlight=camo Or post #71 on this thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...t=pt-57&page=3 |

Re: military trucks.
Hey that looks nice :) I recommend going back and doing the grill surround area in white tho...that will set it off real slick. That OD with a white star and white accents will be sharp man. Keep the pics coming :metal:

Looking good. When I had my VW I used Rustoleum Camo paint in Army Green. Came out pretty good. Thinking of doing something similar to my C10 in tan though.....

Are you going to be blacking out all of your trim and chrome?

This isn't a 60-66 or even a Chevy for that matter but it is a really nice truck to use for inspiration...
You can see more of it here... http://www.minitruckinweb.com/featur...200/index.html |
Re: military trucks.
thanks for the kind words guys.. No paint for the bumper, grille, or side moldings. the
headlight face plates are painted. today i just finished tearing off the wood n rusted strips off the bed. i will be taking the bed apart and painting it over the weekend...hopefully!! the bed had two layers of wood, the original wood n strips on the bottom with the top layer of plywood and another set of bed strips .. lucky me. the original strips were a mess.. rusted thru like swiss cheesse |
