OK .first things first.what is the part made of. Rubber-plastic is just not enough info.
Call thje manufacturer and get specifics. "Rubber" could be PVC or thermoplastic rubber even another plastic. "Plastic"if harder may be nylon or another plastic.....and is machineable...
The rest of the truck is the yellowish greenish color used by the forest service. You can see the color on the windshield frame under the parts on the picture.
Strata may still be the main blue with the GM blue for accent............still thinking this thru....
Well folks ........ I painted a few parts GM blue so what do yall think. The dash panel and valve cover were a test of something other than OD and I know that the purists will not like it but I can take the criticism.....lol.
I plan to use the old bed but remove part of the sides as they are beat pretty bad. I intend to build a 1000 gal fertilizer spray module. This project started as a farm tool idea and I will build a different bed configuration depending on the need at the time...........swap modules as needed...
Yep...211........... about the m and or XM .my XM is 8-52......... looks like the X went at least as far as August 52.
That truck looks to be in super shape..and a winch too..great find.
Did anyone notice the number of those trucks at the Chernobyl site that we being salvaged to some degree. Guess radiation is relative to which parts ya need.
The serial number on the right side frame rail will have the XM or M designation to go with your four numbers. It's a 211 for sure. An X designates "experimental" and an early model. A lot of those XM models went to CD or fire service.
Forgive me for piggybacking on this thread .......but..........I have the same question about 9X20s. Is there a modern tire that will fit and work as well as the military 9x20s? I don't want perfection or some mud hogs just a kinda sorta "stock" replacement.
I have a spot in central Tx kinda near Temple. You are welcome to it. I am building a barn and will have a covered area for an extra deuce in a month or so............but the pasture has plenty of room.
It is an Obama plot to confiscate all MVs ...then the guns..then he can move to Indonesia and buddy around with Osama while we all drive Chinese made motorbikes.
I think I covered every conspiracy theory but I'm sure that someone will find an angle I missed.
