Here are the markings on my truck. It was surplused out in Southern Calif. 63rd RSC is a reserve component uniting all the reserve units in the western US. Its evolved from the 63rd inf division of world war two as the 63rd Regional Support Command. Sub-unit 163rd Ordnance...truck number...

Thanks Bill. Over the course of my life I have restored half a dozen Chevy shoeboxes and too many other cars to list. This truck has been much more fun.....besides bringing back some of my youth. I was an 18 year old sailor once upon a time. A CPO yelled at the detail I was with...."who can...

Heres a couple pics of the finished product. Its all finished....Im gonna need another M35

Out here in the desert....unlike Florida with its humidity....fabrics dry up and fade really quickly. I have had this truck for just a few months and was already seeing an almost new camo cab top starting to degrade, so in that respect ittself a hardtop here is much more practical. AND....my...

When I bought my truck it had the camo softtop. I was really wanting a hardtop. As I posted here a while back, I found a nice hardtop in Utah. I stripped it today prepped and painted it.....its now on my truck and it really improved the looks. It was a lot more work to install than I was...

I have bought bunches of stuff on Ebay...most good some bad...<foxhole Joe>. Today I received a set of manuals from MVTrucker. MY GOODNESS what a great deal ! Thanks Mr Young....you deserve a pat on the back.

I just bought a couple of rolls of weatherstripping from JC Whitney for my duece doors. It matches the original almost perfectly. Its for 59 to 64 Dodge/Plymouth doors. Its a pretty good deal too...comes with the glue. Ive already installed it and tossed the wrapper so I cant give you the exact...

I was asked at the very last minute, by the 5th Special Forces Assn. here, if I would drive them in the parade. I really wanted to but its my mothers birthday also and shes in Utah. I already paid my dues in uniform so Mom wins out. I really wanted to do the parade .

The tires....or at least the replacement set.....showed up today. These are very nice tires. 75% to 100% tread. I can recommend Berg Tires and Chip Berg personally as a great businessman and an even greater individual.

I drove up to my hometown today to deliver my mom her Moms day gift in person. While there my brother brought up my duece in conversation.....I mentioned that I was pretty happy with it with the exception of the hard top I have been looking for. My brother says...."hell there are Army trucks...

Yeah...working and supporting a family sucks when it gets in the way of playing.

I used a high quality brand of acrylic enamel. The color is gloss Honda Desert Sand. I had the paint shop add a quart of degloss to each gallon so I wound up with two and a half gallons. It all went on the truck. I am very happy with the outcome.....it mirrors USGI desert sand paint but better...

Heres my paintjob. I painted in a buddies 1 acre lot. Not much green here in the desert huh ?

Well....heres an update. A pallet of six 900x20 NDT tires have vanished off the face of the earth. USF is the Carrier. Heres the good news...Chris Berg in NC is fully covering the loss and has sent out a duplicate order. What a great guy....and great communication and service.

The tires in Arizona guy might be Daniella in San Diego. I bought a couple new ones from her for the front of my duece. 100 bucks each, brand new Fidelity and 25 bucks shipping FEDEX. Not a bad deal at all.

Hes in NC...i'm in Las Vegas....a little too far for me to pick them up, although I wish I could have. Hopefully they will turn up this coming week. Its really hard for me to believe that they have been stolen.

I won a set of six 900x20s on Ebay.....they were shipped, stacked, on a pallet the 22nd. Who would have thought that a major trucking company could "lose" over 500 lbs of tires. I will withhold the trucking companys name in case they happen to turn up this coming week. If this was happening...

I bought a really nice front bumper from these guys to replaced my crunched one. A hundred acres of stuff. Just Google Barstow Truck Parts jimbo
