This past week was spent on striping, cleaning, sanding and painting the front seat frames plus the gas can. The seat cushions and canvas covers are ready to install on the seat frames as soon as the paint has dried. Also the military markings arrived and most of them were applied to the Jeep.

The bumper unit markings are for the 12 Group, 11 Batallion, 128 Aviation, vehicle # 6. The 128 Aviation Company was my unit in Vietnam 1965 - 1966. In the early years of the Vietnam war, Jeeps like this one were in use. White markings were seen on vehicles and aircraft until 1967 when the Army switched to black markings. The uniform patches also changed to "subdued" black on green.
