    Hey Folks! I asked this before, but got no clear answer. I have my truck in the shop getting all the mechanicals fixed and will be getting it back soon. At that point I'll be starting the body work myself. I'd like to know if the Dark Olive drab semigloss paint was ever used on these trucks by the government as original finish? I have no problem with finding the standard OD paint and its numbers, but I'd like to paint mine with the darker paint if it was ever original. Thanks for the help as always! Shortround

    the color was determined by the agency that used it. in that period the army used 24087 semi gloss olive the marine corp and navy used a slightly different shade (24057 maybe i dont recall that number. late in the life cycle of the truck the army went to a 4 color camo pattern many of the trucks got a coat before they were dismissed from mil service. although im not sure which colors you are actually talking about
