Information?

Don't have data or paint codes, but if you'd like a couple of hi res pics of the interior of one, I've got 'em. Well "weathered", I might add.... Laughing

The tread plate is aluminum and the interior was white for early M113s and sea foam green for later M113A1, A2, A3.

Of these, the back of the driver's seat is the closest to the actual "color" with the minimal of weathering for a VN service vehicle. Everywhere else it was more dirty yellow from dust and what-have-you....

The treadplate Rob refers to can be seen in the last one:

Hi Pascal! Hi Folks!

This is a photo Chuck Sherman took of a M114 at Ft Lewis.

That is sea foam green. During my short time in Vietnam, that is the only color I saw. In fact during my time in the Army (1968-1987), that is the only color I saw on the inside of M113s and M114s. That includes two units which had M-113 mo-gassers. I have seen photos of both with white interiors but I had not layed eyes on one.
