G506 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Warrior, depends if you want the engine to look as per ex factory, or post army rebuild; From what I've seen the factory finish for block and head is GMC olive green, in service rebuild is Olive Drab. Ancillaries usually black (starter, generator, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadline Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Good info so far. The oil filter can is gray, the straps are black. For a factory engine you will go with GMC engine olive (available from Jim Carter Truck Parts dot com). For a depot rebuild OD will do, no decals BUT the engine type (4 digit engine number) should be in white 1 inch stencil on the rocker cover. Since the CCKW had so many different engine configurations, after rebuild they would mark them so the mechanics know what engine type they had to order parts, all accessories are black (oil filter included). Its amazing.. 4 years ago this info was had to find.. now its out there for all to use. Good things are happening in the CCKW community!! Hopefully be the end of March I will have all of the decals for a factory engine. The deep sump oil pan decal is the last hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G506 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Deadline, having seen some of your artwork for the later oil filter decals, I have not used the decal I bought from Jim Carter, in readiness for you producing the early war style!!!!!!! :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadline Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I may just add the early war decal on the same sheet as the mid/late war.... since the lid decal is the same. It would be cheaper long run because it would save a screen setup fee and most places don't seem to care about how many decals per sheet, just total sheet count. Do you have any idea of the size, text or color? I can kinda figure it out, but it would be good to have an original to get it as close as possible.

I dont know about about exact size, etc, but I will make some enquiries over the next day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
