I thought about the painting issue for a moment and have more questions for you.
How were these war vehicles produced back in the day? Were they delivered with OD paint applied in the usual civvy manner at the factory or were they painted specially for military use? Were components left with their natural finish or were the vehicles given the all over coverage?
It is interesting to consider this aspect of restoration. Unless we were there, back in the day, inspecting these trucks as new arrivals to the motor pool, we cannot know the condition they were delivered in. We only know them from their condition after service when they have been painted and repainted before DRMO sells them off.
I am interested in your perspective on this issue.
