Generally a truck at an airforce base would have been the high visibility yellow with the low glare flat black hood. If it was a base truck, normally it would have been Lincoln commercial green. I worked on a lot of base vehicles back in the early 80s and they pretty much all followed this pattern.

I also saw where the militia would get issued a commercial truck as an administrative vehicle, and eventually out would come the paintbrush and cam paint. Certainly not authorized, but in those days of the soft skinned army ( and certainly true of the militia) somehow commercial vehicles became tactical.
