Or just any truck that came off the assembly line and was subsequently purchased by the Navy?
Just curious.
Military vehicles were typically found to be very spartan with few options other than items would increase payload, ground clearance, or other mechanical/electrical systems. Old military vehicles have some following with the best examples being fully restored to their original build sheet. Colors varied through the years, I am sure there are some remnant painted areas on your truck. Sounds cool!
