Not surprised to see painted over chrome
Hi Guys
Not surprised to see painted over chrome, I suspect that the earlier the production date of the truck the more likely to see chrome painted over. In formal study Patter 11 vs Patter 12 & 13.
when production started on CMPs one of the prime concepts in the design was use what they knew worked and if they had a bunch of it in the warehouse all the better.
In reading the service bulletins you can see the reason for the change over the round military style. Or more exactly you can read about the field problems with dust and moisture getting into the civilian instrument groups.
Cheers Phil
