Generally Army Green is referred to as OD Green or Olive Drab Green.

you might like this stuff my friend was going to use this on his Chevy truck but ended up rolling house paint instead which also looked good.

There is more than one army green. The WWII stuff is called OD Green. However the marines had one slightly more green and the new army green is different yet. For some expert help on this contact Surplus City, Oroville, CA. They stock them all

Wow... how long was that bad boy sitting?? Looks like tires at least on the passenger side were optional!! LOL... Can't wait to see all the parts listed above transform this into a beast...

It was a pain in the arse to get this thing winched onto a trailer.We had to use a friends cherokee with a 8k winch and snatch block to drag it on. A farmers son blew the rear end out in late 03 and they parked it and it sat ever since i got it. the black widows had taken over i had to bug bomb my garage right after putting it in the garage. I replaced the fuel pump and filter and new battery cables and battery and it fired up and ran rough at first but after some seafoam in the tank and all the old gas got cleared out of the lines it runs better. Only problem now is it idles high and low then high(i think vaccum leaks)
