Kenneth,

I'm definitely not a computer person, but I think I have that signature thing fixed.

Anyway, I was with MCB 62 1966-1968. We went to VietNam while MCB 74 was in training.

I was always in I Corps. Furthest south I went was DaNang.

I spent a total of 13 months there. 8 Months on Security & 81mm Mortars, then 5 months as a field crew mechanic.

It seems to me that all the Deuce's we had were gas, but I'm really not sure. We also had some IH trucks.

I intend to remove the Army markings on my deuce & put on Seabee ID. I'm not sure about the correct markings. I have the Seabee stencil for the doors. I seem to remember that the sides of the hood were marked with a 2 digit number identifying the vehicle type, followed by a 5 digit VIN.

Can you tell me anything more about the markings?

By the way. My VFW flies the flags of all SIX branches of the armed forces! Six? Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, & Seabees!

It's been said ( by an Admiral ) that I created Naval history when I declared the Seabees a separate branch. Why not?

We Build, We Fight

CANDO
