You will find plenty of arguments and discussion regarding paint here on the forum.
If you are looking at 60 year old paint and it is lighter, the only reason is because its faded. The military paint has a tendency to wash out quickly. I have seen plenty of cmps you would swear were painted mustard yellow, when in fact that is the result of OD paint that is aged.

So that would explain the yellow patches then.
Probably back in the day the colours were different, as long as it was some sort of green it was good to go

Tony I can supply you with the steel for the front bumper and I can lend you a front brush guard as a sample to make one if you wish.

Proximity has finally worked in my favor -usually the stuff I want is on the other side of the world.
The truck has been waiting this long, little while longer doesn't bother it -it told me so..... I think the wife has me down on the Honey Do List as "Painting all day" anyway Let me know when is good and I'll be there, thanks

tearing it down
My ongoing attempt to get the important bits inside for the winter for rebuilding -We had a couple of nice days so I decided to take some more bits off. I was really happy that the bolts came out of the winch coupler -I thought for sure i was going to have to cut it apart. A couple of repairs to the floor and crossmembers -I need to fine a pic to see what the transfer case lower shifter bracket looked like, you can see where someone cut it off -also there is a hole ground through the frame from where the air pump PTO was rubbing on it (also rubbed through the selector box)
The Transmission poured water out forever it seems -then out came the sludge -That will be another day, don't want to think about it right now -still shifts and turns though Getting the bell housing off the engine when it's stuck might be tricky -do I rip it down to free up the engine -or flip it over and cut the crank in half..... The transfer case selector is solid.
