Re: COPO fleet colors?

These bad boys were not COPOs (they were processed through the regular production order system) but were definitely special paint jobs.

In spite of the way it looks the camoflauge pattern was not random, but specified by the US Govt and described by truck engineering.

A sample panel was hung in the paint booth with the templated paint pattern displayed, and the painter was to emulate the pattern freehand on the vehicle before him.
