The paint on that truck really takes me back. My 69 W200 originally came to me with a hokey camo paint job. Unfortunately, the cab was so rusted due to its life as a graveyard dump truck alongside San Francisco Bay that I had to switch it out and lost the effect.

[1970Dude]

The 71 has about 4 different kinds of paint on it. I think the original color is similar to petty blue

Many places would show original color; inside cab, under hood, eng compartment, etc

My 70 was originally light Green and was repainted Burgundy, but all those other areas you mention were painted Black. Burgundy and Green don't go together.

1970 Dude, what are the plans for the trucks?

[1970Dude]

I’m going to get them both roadworthy and the fully restore the Dude

[1970Dude]

Just put the new vinyl floor in

[1970Dude]

Also got the custom primed and sanded
Now all she needs is some paint. It took awhile for her to get this far but it’s almost done

[1970Dude]

Just finished painting it
Now all she needs is some putting back together!
