WCMatt Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hello List! Starting to work on the '74 series 3 air portable light weight. When these vehicles were in British Service what color were the frame, leaf springs, drive shafts and axle housings painted? I assume black but it could have been green or left "bright" (galvanized)?. Regards, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that might have been done either while in service of after it had been demob'd & in civilian hands. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
