I think a lot of guys are recommending Behr exterior paint from Home Depot. I havent used it myself but there is a thread ( http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/76210-behr-paint-jobs-show-me-your-mvs.html ) that shows it off. I do plan on using it because of its numerous benefits. Check out the thread.

I used Gillespie 383 green on the main parts of the truck. Then had HD match it with the Behr premium flat latex for all the troop seats and bows. It matched exactly. If that's the color you want I can get you the paint codes from a can of mine. It's perfect.

It depends on what you want. If you want your new paint job to "chalk" like an old military truck the go with the house style paint. If you want a paint job that looks new but not super shiny try AUE100. Its a product of the ALK line which is an industrial paint. Sticks very well and comes in many colors or you can tint it if you want. Also you can adjust the gloss level with flattening up to about 30%. Works well, we use the normal ALK for trailers and cabinets and things in our autobody shop. The AUE is better quaility then the ALK and very cheap compared to other automotive paints. Ill be using it soon on my deuce build.
