Keith in TN was correct about your truck being an off the shelf MV. The Air
Force has never used many real tactical MVs; they are usually standard 12
volt pickups, van and sedans.
Your truck would probably been an aircrew truck, but in some cases might have
carried a maintenance team. SAC Bomber Alert crews were each assigned a 6
pack, a standard civilian four door 6 passenger pickup. A few also had 24
volt electrical systems added in addition to the 12 volt system to power
aircraft radios.
The 72B191 is the truck's registration number and would have been painted in
yellow on the front bumper, each front door, and the tailgate or rear bumper.
The door markings, in yellow, usually would be:
U. S. AIR FORCE
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
