I know bumper and Hood markings comes up a whole lot on this site as well as others I have searched far and wide for the information I'm looking for but haven't been able to find it. I have a 1953 army Dodge m37 I would like to mark it with 101st airborne markings because my grandfather was drafted in the Korean war and served in 101st airborne motor pool and I would like to mark it accordingly I really know absolutely nothing about markings and any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm not sure if this photo of Grandpa would help in any way or form if nothing else it's a cool photo

Looks like he was helping out with the 40th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Brigade as well (40AAA on the truck bumper in the picture). Picture has to be after 1952 because the M38A1 Jeep in the pic wasn't produced before then.

Any other pics in the album with trucks that could provide clues?

Any clues as to what unit he served with in the 101st? There could be multiple maintenance support battalions.

Unfortunately no that's the only picture I have with any vehicles in it and as to any other clues I have very little information I couldn't even find his dog tags really all I know is that he was in the motor pool and was in the 101st as to which unit he served that's probably lost to history probably just take a good guess and roll with it
