Nice score... Glad things worked out for you... Problem with this hobby is you can never just have one and there is always something to improve/wrench on.. Great times and lots of fun I predict in your future.

I vote for tan..

Thanks Sneaker. Oh MV's yeah while this is my first Deuce, I have a M1008 and I used to have a M1009. Also had a M116 trailer too.

It will be tan, its just a matter of when.

Dan,

Almost forgot, can you post a pic of data plate/or just pm me the info? also frame VIN #?
I want to post on Carnac's 2012 VIN info thread and see what army unit she last belonged to.

Thanks,
Dale

No worries Dale, I'll get those pics for you today.
The fireman we talked with really liked this truck, he told us when he came out to get the paperwork about the sides being at the other fire station. There was a nice set of fiberglass bows in the bed of yours that belonged to the 5 ton they got to replace this truck. He asked if we would mind driving over to pick up the sides and drop off the bows.
Well, we're burning daylight here, time to get out and start fabricating!

Wow looking good! Is that the cab cover Zout gave to Scott? You know, red with tan covers is starting to grow on me. It actually looks pretty good together[thumbzup]

If you can't locate a green one @ Brads, or anywhere else, what you have can be painted. The newer issue vinyl is designed to be painted when the needed color's not available, or for deployment to a different type of landscape. The cab cover on Chris Bs tanker used to be 3 color camo. Was painted desert tan about 3 yrs ago with Gillespie paint. It looks as good as when painted. (But, being indoors 99% of the time may be a contributing factor.)
