I don't remember any sand in VN....swamps, jungles, red mud......except on the beach ! :) But I can be wrong....if a early Mutt was somewhere in Texas or OK.... maybe desert sand...... Seabee

It would have to be after 1970, I would guess if any of the early one's were still in service, it could have happened, not for sure tho.

You know what. I am such a Duffus. My son wants me to paint it sand because all my other vehicles are O.D. WW2. I am painting it the same as it came. The reason I say I am a Duffus is that I ask this kind of question about a year ago when I got it. He was hounding me then about it. I am going with JOLLY GREEN then. Thanks all.
