    USAF Colors for Early M35

    Excellent info! I don't have the numbers as I didn't knew they existed (dur) but also the FD painted it Red. I'll take a grinder to it this weekend and see what I can come up with. [thumbzup]

    USAF Colors for Early M35

    The SF-97 says 00012526329 but I haven't gotten to it on the frame yet. It has about five layers of paint from the V-FD. I'll get back to you on this. Woo..good point good sir. :mrgreen: Not to delegate the legwork here but any references to AF markings on a deuce? I'd really like to make it...

    USAF Colors for Early M35

    When was the A1 replaced from service? I know gassers should have been gone long before 1966 but some slip..who knows. Never any bias for blue huh GE? :razz:

    USAF Colors for Early M35

    That's what I'm thinking. Strata blue. I don't have a visual reference of this though.

    USAF Colors for Early M35

    I have a USAF 1966 KJ that was converted from a gasser. The old style tail lights, old exhaust, extra radiator space, USAF safety stickers, etc..etc.. leads me to believe this. The old style gas tank is military in nature but nothing I can visually reference from searching. The multi in it now...

    I've pulled m332s, m101s, and m105s with my Jeep Liberty. Follow what 3dAngus said and play it safe.

    Recommended coolant?

    Ditto. The antifreeze needs special additives to prevent foaming due to vibrations and etc. It's just easier to get the premixed stuff than to find the additives IMHO.

    Military Fire Trucks

    Here's a few pictures of some brush trucks I just picked up. The first is a 1969 KJ that is stock plus a master battery cutoff. Paperwork in the glove box suggested it served in the aftermath of Katrina moving food. Luckily a detailed schedule showed the FD unit was relocated prior to the storm...

    Insurance situation is crazy!

    I had State Farm for my M35A2s ($35/mo) but they discontinued it when it came time to renew. From my understanding they don't find the agreement "favorable" aka they arn't making enough for the risk involved. I'm not pleased with them.
