Welcome to the forum. There is nothing like a fresh paint job to make these old trucks look grate again. Very nice job. Beautiful truck.

Nice truck, wish mine had enough body for me to justify a paint job. I do have a question about you behind the grill light, do the police give you any grief about the color?

No and as far as I know only red or blue is illegal because it can't be emergency colors while driving but I have a separate toggle switch for that anyway

It's trucks that shine like yours that give me hope for mine. I've got zero rust, but a good bit of hail damage.

In Oregon you would be hosed for having a green light.

  • Green emergency lighting since 9/11 is now used by Homeland Security Agencies and government/private security agencies protecting high risk government and critical infrastructure.
  • Green emergency lighting is used on vehicles which are protecting nuclear facilities, oil & gas depots, water storage facilities and dams, gas pipelines, airports, defense facilities, maritime facilities, and all other areas which are at a high risk of terrorist attacks.
  • Green emergency lighting is also used by private security agencies securing certain government buildings and establishments where terrorist organizations may also target.However in the State of Florida, Green is allowed for use by all private Security vehicles only in combination with Amber lights.(Florida state legislation is pending to also allow flashing Clear/White lights in combination with Amber/Green Security patrol lights for Added visibility.)
  • Green and blue emergency lighting is used by some counter-terrorism agencies whilst responding to terrorist incidents, so as to distinguish the specialist agencies from other emergency departments.
  • In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, green and blue is used by Homeland & National Security agencies by Municipal Police Forces in addition to counter-terrorism security agencies.
  • In Washington State, under the provisions of RCW 46.37.185, a firefighter may use a green light on their privately owned vehicle with the approval of the fire chief of the department they are employed by. The green light is used for identification purposes only and does not convey any special rights or status to the vehicle.
  • In Oregon, and some other states, the ‘command’ vehicle at a fire scene may use a green light to identify its location.
  • In Tennessee, motorcycles in funeral processions use green lights.
  • In Ohio, snowplows used by the Ohio Department of Transportation use a combination of green and amber lights.
  • In New York Connecticut and Indiana Volunteer EMTs use Green lights
  • In New York City, a single flashing green light separated from the other red and blue flashing lights on an NYPD vehicle denotes it as a THV (Temporary Headquarters Vehicle) also known as a Mobile Command Post vehicle and also used on a 2-star Assistant Chiefs marked RMP (Radio Motor Patrol) vehicle to identify it as such.
