All the equipment used on the runways in Canada seemed to be painted yellow for visibility reasons. My Cletrac M2 was yellow with BCATP markings.

This web page http://bathead.com/wc51blue.html lists a number of "MV's in Yellow (officially & otherwise)".

It includes M37's and other trucks, some of which were in US Navy use (which surpised me as I thought these were either OD or gray).

Speaking of which, here's an M37 in Navy livery. Doesn't it look very smart?!?

Default yellow M37

Last week I was in Saskatoon and could not find the truck. There was however a Kijiji ad for a Yellow M37 in Saskatoon for $3,900.00. It must have sold as before I could link the ad here it was removed. I did however get some photos from the ad prior to it being removed and here they are.

That's it. I clearly remember the white paint over the RCAF door decals. Is $3900 a good deal?

Interesting to note that the truck does not show any signs of olive green other than the tailgate which may have been replaced at some point.

Value of a Dodge? That will always be in the eyes of the buyer.
