The tailgate had some peel and stick louvers at one time :puke: so the guy I got the truck from peeled them off and tried to paint the "Chevrolet" letters himself and unfortunately "Pablo Picasso" he's not :lol: it's not very attractive, so I don't think Del will be breaking into his piggies.......yet. :lol:

Leevon, that same idea ran thru my mind when I removed the grill, but I'm stuck on white.

So in all said I give you the Pumpkin!!!! :chevy:

Congrats on the find! I really like the orange as well, along with the "Pumpkin" name...I also like the idea of white accents. Hope you get to keep & enjoy this one for a little while. :chevy:

hmmm...not sure I knew that bit of factory info...my truck has the white side inserts & grille surround but solid black top...I've often thought of painting the top white someday.

I think that truck is actually red, but we can pretend it's orange. :lol: I saved pics of it a good while back myself, as it was the "poster child" for the look I was contemplating. This is the same truck without the hubcaps/trim rings:

Mario, you're part to blame for my 60-66 addiction!!! If you would have just said "NO" 1 year ago almost to the day when I asked you for a ride in your big window truck. :lol: I'm sure you remember the day I talked your ear off.

Red or orange... it looks good.

Personally, and I'm not bashing the truck, but I like the first picture you posted of it. To me it has a killer orange tint to the color and would be my choice (vs. the red). :D

I agree, looks great either way. I like that first pic best as well, but more-so because of the hubcaps & trim rings. :)
