Any of the usual dealers from Supply Line or Military Vehicles magazines
stocks the 1" (front) M151 cylinders. The last bunch I bought were about
$16.50 ea.
Your 151 was painted CARC when you got it? Cool. I've never seen one,
though the pattern certainly exists in the 1990-ish Paint-by-Numbers manual.
Was it National Guard by any chance? As to the "looks like it was put on
with a brush", are you referring to the drips and sags? They seem to be on
pretty much every CARC-painted vehicle I've seen - either because the
painting-types were ordered to "lay it on thick" or they just did so anyway
out of indifference. If you find yourself a nice, big drip on a CARC
paintjob and play around with it using a penknife or similar, you can easily
see exactly why the CARC is a "coating" rather than a paint. It dries/cures
rock-hard!
