    Camo paint scheme for Truck?

    Anybody have a blueprint layout of a military type paint scheme for a pickup truck? I am shopping for a new truck (yes it will be Ford) and will be keeping my old 1990 Chevy. It will be my farm and hunting truck. A little beat up and needs some body work so I will be doing that after getting the new one. Figured on a camo paint job. Just looking for ideas.

    I don't but do you have any woodland camo gear. Study it and translate it to the vehicle.

    That's my "Plan A" if nothing better comes up.
