These are the only pix I can find of this camo scheme and they're all Cab 11 Fords. Not a Chev in sight! On a previous thread Hanno thought it was a fantasy scheme applied at the factory and not a military scheme. With six different trucks with similar paint you'd think it must have been more common than that. Could this be the paint job they gave them before they decided that the disruptive pattern couldn't be applied at the factory because parts got mixed up before being reassembled overseas? This happened in mid 1940 so the time frame's right. Also this complex a paint job is more than you'd want to do in the field but in the factory it would be relatively easy.
On the F15A pic Gregg states that this scheme was commonly applied at the time. I'll have to wait and see what some of the paint job gurus have to say
