In the old days, we just treated the rust with zinc chromate and they touched up the OD paint with a paint brush. The white stars and bumper numbers had to be touched up with white paint every 3 months. Stenciling had to be blocked, no gaps. In late 74 we went to camo. Initially, the trucks were sprayed by Installation maintenance. Stars were no longer used and bumper markings turned to black. After that touch ups were done with a brush.

@deuceandguns 6 жыл бұрын

Rapco sells very good stuff but I wanted to keep it as cheap and easy to touch up as possible without having to store cans of paint. Also, I like the tire shine idea and it reminds me of a story my dad told me. I'll probably tell it again in a future vid but here it goes. While dad was stationed in Vietnam he and one of his buddies was washing up the M35s they had and his buddy decided to rub diesel all over the deuces he washed to make them shine. When his CO saw that he got chewed out and made to rewash all the trucks again because you don't want to stand out with a shiny truck when the VC are around.

20 %muriatic acid (concrete stripper/cleaner) works great on stripping rust right off the surface of steel with no scrubbing, make sure to wear the proper gear while dealing with acid , gloves and proper mask are a neccessity. it does amazing results in under 5 mins. just be sure to neutralize the acid well with water. and do small segments at a time

In reality I don't use it for anything I couldn't use my F-250 for except for getting to hard to reach locations on the farm and looking awesome at Home Depot. It's used for simple farm type duties such as hauling and fixing things. There are months that go by without it being started and then I'll have her out several times a week for a while. Just get your girlfriend watching The Walking Dead and explain the survival and multi-fuel abilities of the Deuce.

another hack.... mix rustoleum dark hunter green with rustoleum rusty red metal primer. Add the primer until you get the color you want. Then thin and spray or dare I say cut in and roll on with a foam roller. New, used or a mix of motor oil cut with diesel will preserve the wood benches and stake sides.

Good video. I've done a lot of painting on these trucks and trailers. I'm about to do a custom job on my bobbed deuce. I'm having it sandblasted then I'll use a red oxide primer. But I'm struggling to find the right shade of coyote tan I want for a camo pattern. I tried samples of Rapco, but I'm not satisfied with their tan selection. I'm trying to stay with an alkyd enamel instead of the Behr latex that seems so popular. What have you heard about enamels in MV restoration?

I personally don't know anyone who has used enamel. It's always been Rapco, Behr, or the real CARC ordered through Sherwin-Williams. I'm sure someone on the steel soldiers form has used enamel in the past though so they'd be a better source of info.

In California you'll find A lot of ammo cans from Oceanside,Ca then look for tools, tool boxes etc... comming from French camp,ca...In the Midwest you'll start to find A lot of Military clothing, battle packs,boots etc...Then on the eastern part of the country you'll find Military cars,pick up trucks, deuces, 5 ton trucks and wreckers etc... There is a guy in Lucerne,Ca who has a website as follows. www.100dollarman.com he sells the military 5/8 ton diesel pickups,and 6.2 liter diesel Broncos, he does have some 5ton Cat powered trucks and he does have some deuces, he also customizes and "Bob's" the deuces but havnt seen many on his website in some time now, he also makes custome wheels for the deuce for the use of the super single tires. you may want to send him an email.

While I'm not certain of the exact color code I have some good guesses and Home Depot can show you the color on the screen before they mix. I assume it's one of the Florescent Red Orange codes which are 18913, 28913, 38903, or 38905. The 18913 and 28913 codes are probably your best bet due to them being from the cold war era.
