very cool pintle set up......i like the star too.......uve given me a few ideas........is that a stock pintle.....reminds me of the late war pintle on mb....

 

[lindyp38]

i ordered the stencil for my truck......what size is that start?

 

[Pawnshop]

That is not a correct CUCV pintle, and the box with the ball is civvie too, that is all coming off tonight (the box ans ball will be retained for future reference if needed). The star is 3" and means it was driven by a General!

i couldnt see a general driving his own vehicle.....not that it didnt happen....but i think that star was there on most mil vehicles......mine has it on the front bumper......and it was painted on crooked.....as was most of the original markings.....​

Yes, I know, that was a joke. The star is the National Symbol, the subdued version of the big white star on the door in Vietnam. The "General's Star" is a running joke around here, it started when someone posted an MV on eBay for sale and said that was why it had a star on it (because it was a General's vehicle)...

 

[lindyp38]

ah....ok............
