    If my deuce can't be camo, what color???

    Mine is going to be Vietnam era gloss OD. BUT if I was going to do a civvy job on it: Firetruck Red. Heck if thats not you bag (don't want to be taken for a fireman ya know!) paint a white stripe down each side and you can be a Coke truck. Unless you happen to like Pepsi.
