While one can certainly put on any markings one wants on his own truck, hopefully he will also keep record of the markings which were on it in the first place.
Rob, I love the "paper trail" of a vehicle as much as the vehicle itself. A prime example is that lovely 1940 F15 which reputedly had been issued to the SOE.
Indeed all too often restorers forget to document the known history of their vehicles. My F15A carries 1st Canadian Army markings which were copied from original markings found under the paint when it was first restored. If indeed I repaint it in a 1st Canadian Armoured Carrier Regiment livery as planned, I will have to make sure its provenance is properly recorded.

Cheers,
Hanno
