The above dropside trayback appears to have been service green over-painted blue. In the original AuLRO post the author suggested the vehicle in question had never been painted service green.
If the vehicle in question went through a post-war re-build would they have stripped the paint back to bare metal/wood before painting blue? I know that after the war my uncle bought up CKD kits to use for his general carrier business (my father actually got a 15a off his cousin for his building company). Would these have been pre-painted service green or just finished in primer? And if so did the RAAF build war surplus trucks into fleet colours before entering service? |

So Alan has posted my pics elsewhere? Fair enough - it's his vehicle.
![]() He was saying it appears never to have been painted khaki which is interesting - certainly the blue was applied over a red primer on the body so you may be correct in saying it has had a post-war rebuild, but I've never known one where the paint was stripped on a CMP. I think Alan will find the cab was originally khaki when he pulls it apart. Quote:
