Thanks again guys. The pics dont really do it justice. The dash was fixed with flexible bondo and seam sealer. You can still see it if you look close so im still on the hunt for a perfect one. I had a guy stop by to look over my minty m35a2 for sale and i think he spent as much time looking at...

Thanks folks. I have several M-types and didn't want this to be a hassle resto. I set a goal of 4 weeks and it took 5 because of the paint color search. Heres a pic of the crack in the dash I repaired, it looks just ok and the truck is too nice not to have a good pad in it, the repops don't fit...

Well almost, still need to find a perfect dash pad and install the new window seals. Looked high and low for a mint one and found one that was close. Tried to duplicate the "brown" one that GL sold this year. Ended up with a 4 gal case of CARC 30051 I didn't even use.(anyone want it?) Truck was...

Thanks for the the input folks. Now I am leaning toward a FLAT version of 24087. If you look at for instance david allen racings site (click on daves toys at the bottom) you see that 24087 looks mostly brown with a tinge of green. BUT... if I look at 34087 its NOT just a flat 24087 its much...

Uh oh..... I think I found the color, 30099 earth brown. Only in aervoe.....ugh! Any pics of 30099 on US trucks?

I have a spare can of rapco 34052, I'm going to shoot it next to the rapco 30051 on the tailgate for comparison. I think the 34052 will look much too green compared to this truck but WILL be the correct "darkness". This pictured truck is definitely more brown than green.....compare it to the...

I need to verify this color used on the M1008 in this picture. I originally thought it was 30051 brown carc but now I am second guessing that as it looks darker and a bit more " bronze". Of course colors are tough to tell on a screen but I think now it may be 24087 !?!? I want to duplicate that...

Outstanding, just what I was looking for. My googleage was foiled by not knowing the CUCV II name.... It looks like the air force is a large percentage of its use. It also looks like the lift rings might be a part of the brush guard mount on SOME of these?? hmmm..

Anyone sprayed Gillespie over a factory base/clear that was scuffed and degreased? Id rather not strip all the clear coat off.... but will scuff it well.

Picked up a generic 3/4 ton gmc that I want to paint 383 brown over the factory paint (base/clear). I will clean scuff and degrese first but has anyone put Gillespie over factory scuffed paint before?? Also Im looking for pics of this series of trucks (94-99 with the "work truck" style grille)...

Agreed, and I have owned it for 10 of those last 17 and it basically sits. Although I make sure every time its run it get fuel lube added but sitting is likely its worst enemy.

Just a heads up I had let it soak in Kroil then PB then CLP and finally got it to drop with a pretty good hit on a brass dowel. Then it would popback up when turning the engine and had to again force it down. So at that point I knew it was going to come apart but I really wanted to see first if...

OK so it looks like I have the dreaded Hyd. head problem as I have no movement in the center piston. Heres the question, after doing a search I found a posting about rebuilding it but it was inconclusive. Whats the consensus? And if not, can someone point me in the direction of a good used...
