Do I mark the vehicle to IT's history as Rob has told or as a replica of a vehicle that took part in an important event of my Regiment's history.

Don, here's what I (shall) do: record the history and markings as you know it (Rob and Mark have given you more than most vehicle collectors could wish for). Make a file and update it when you find any markings or other identifying features while working on your truck. If possible, ask any previous owners for pictures, records, details etc. Now you have made sure it's known history is recorded.
Next, find out what the markings would be on the same type of vehicle that took part in an important event of your Regiment's history (Mark, thanks again
). Put the material in your truck's file. Mark the truck accordingly. Take a piece of board and note details about it's known history and current identity. Take to events/shows and display the truck with the info board. Enjoy the talks it will invite.
