My recollections of the time (early 80's), I really didn't pay much attention to the trucks back then.
I only recall my unit, 4/10 having dueces & M151's along with the self propelled artillery. (there could have been others, I just don't recall.)
My time was in battalion HQ & base offices...
I was in 79 thru 83 mostly at Camp LeJuenne
Almost all M880's I ever seen were gloss forest green w /yellow ID #'s
I think I remember a few luterless ones
I do not recall ever seeing a camo job on a Marine pickup.
Frank??????????????
Ok, times up didn't sell it. Time to part it & scrap whats left.
Gunnershusband has 1st dibs on the dash
Soylentgreen has next selection
Those are the only 2 people who have asked for parts off it.( that I remember anyway :oops: )...
Be advised:
This course of action will cost several thousand dollars, as black shows everything.
Spray can touch up paint can be purchased to closely match the camo colors currently on that truck.
Gettin' close!
Putting the one on ebay later today as a parts truck, if no takers in the week. I will be parting / scrapping it.

Your tires look good! (although I may be a bit biased, see pic)
Soylent,
This rim info is fantastic!
Accuride 31972 16x7K.
So far I have only found 16x6 rims from a Dodge van
other than aftermarket spoked / slotted / whatever rims.
The original 16.5's were 6 7/8 wide and the 6in ones are just too narrow for a decent tire.
265/75R16's fit nicely on a 7 inch...
Yes sir open diffs
Dana44 front & dana 60 rear with 4.10 gearing
Posi units (Trak-Loc) are availible for those axles.
.........tough on gas???????????
My M880 gets nearly 48mp4g !
The M886 gets 36 to 40 mp4g!
(mp4g=miles per four gallons)
