★ Tyre pressure markings were applied during WWII on the dashboard or wing of military vehicles. The specification of 40 lbs (psi) was used on various vehicle types, depending on tyre size and load.
Application
The 40 lbs tyre pressure was common on various WWII American military vehicles with specific tyre sizes. Dodge WC-series vehicles typically used 40 psi according to technical manuals. CCKW lorries usually had 55 lbs specification. Jeeps (MB/GPW) used 25-35 lbs. Check the correct specification for your specific vehicle and tyre size before stencilling.
Installation notes
Clean the surface to be marked thoroughly. Secure the stencil with tape. Apply paint with airbrush, stipple brush or light spray movement. Remove stencil carefully whilst paint is still wet. Allow to dry completely (24 hours) before putting vehicle into service.
Compatibility
Please note: different WWII vehicle types had different tyre pressure specifications. MB/GPW Jeeps: usually TP 25 or TP 35. Dodge WC 3/4-ton: 40 lbs. GMC CCKW: 55 lbs. Check the technical manual (TM) for your specific vehicle before applying this 40 lbs marking. Incorrect tyre pressure marking reduces historical authenticity.
Historical context
Tyre pressure markings were applied according to Army Regulations in 1-inch Gothic-style letters. During WWII, these markings were usually applied on the dashboard, near the glove box. Only in the post-war period were TP markings also stencilled on wings and wheel arches.
