Welcome. Tell us a little more about the A1

Re: My new projects
Raymond,
It's a 6 that I'm restoring also8 Ford A1 that hasn't been cut and a 66 Stevens 416. I will start restoring as sson as I can build a rotiserrie. I've never done sheet metal before so this will be a learning experience. The A1 has some rust to repair but the only repairs for the trailer will be patching a hole in the rear and replacing the ball hitch with a lunette ring. I hope to end up with an OD A1 with red fenders and EOD markings like the one I drove as a young sergeant. I also have a 57 CJ5 that I will restore to original condition.

Re: My new projects
OK. i have a 67 151 and a 67 416. I have the same camo pattern, what era is that from (the Camo pattern) is it 70's or 80's. Im wanting to remove the camo and go od. If it were correct for Vietnam then i would keep it. I have plenty of photos of mutts in Nam, but have none with camo on them. Your jeep and trailer look great. They look just like mine.

That pattern is post Vietnam. Mid to later 1970s/ early 1980s.

You have a nice looking combo there.
