I concur with others. WOW what a find. And to have all those markings to authenticate its history. Remarkable.

Thanks. I’m debating about trying to save as much of the original paint and markings, or make good stencils of everything and completely redo it. Then re apply all the original markings. Thoughts ??

Don’t know how good your body tub is. I would just clean it up and leave it original.

No I haven’t done anything with it yet. Kubels and other jeeps still ahead of it.

Fantastic Jeep!
I have one with original markings from the 356th Field Artillery Battalion. It won't be perfect but I am going to save all the original paint.
Yours looks worthy of a preservation restoration too - as the saying goes they're only original once (and there are very few original ones left).
Anyway whatever option you choose, I wish you all the best with it and please keep posting more photos!
