Thanks again Wes, decided to go back to the desk top instead of the tablet, if I'd done that before I wouldn't have got screwed up to begin with. The tablet is OK for some things but limited with out a mouse. |

The M38's left Willys in 2430 OD as the first coat of paint. The yellow/Orange you see are probably Civil Defense Markings. Hundreds of jeeps and M37's ended up in Civil Defense units across the country and their paint jobs varied but most were repainted yellow or orange and had the big CD decals in many different places.
This is my 52 A1 I bought in 1986 in South Dakota. It was auctioned off in a Pennington County SD municipal auction along with several other CD jeeps and trucks. The county had procured them from the military DRMO sales back in the 70's. I added the white spokes, civvy tires and Best Top. Drove it 20 miles each way to work every day for three years on I-90. _________________ Wes K

Wondering if the hood may have been replaced at some point, it's bare metal, red primer, yellow and the green is the last coat. |

Just for the heck of it I think I'll check the under side of the hood. |
