Hello all, joined the group tonight, very good group of folks on here.
recently acquired 1980 AM General 813a1 w/w.
I'm looking for advice on paint,truck had been painted bright yeller.
want to bring back the original colors.
Thanks

Welcome from Colchester.

I'm not exactly sure what the original color would be for a 1980 model. For Army trucks early m813s would have been 24087 OD green with the large white stars. In the mid 1970s they started painting trucks MERDC 4 color camo so perhaps a 1980 would have been the base green color used with that scheme, at least from the factory. You could also paint it 3 color camo which the army started using in the mid 1980s, that's the typical style/colors still used today. 686 tan would be another color it could have been painted in service.

There is a big military vehicle show at the end of the month in Weare, NH that would be a good place to check out the different paintjobs in person.

Welcome to the group from Lancaster, PA ! The mid-80's 3 color camo is what's on my truck.
