I like orange engines too, but in a truck, it's gotta be the color it was born with, either gray or green depending on the year and engine size. The trucks had some unique truck-only stuff, and that's where a lot of restorations get it wrong.
I can't wait to get my '66 done and take it to shows just to see how many "experts" tell me that the green engine paint is wrong.
