I wonder if it belongs to anybody here. It was a nice driver.

Looks clean and straight. Beauty.

That would be a great platform to start a resto or just drive it. Did these trucks come in an orange color or is that a paint job done somewhere in its 40+ year life?

Dam that was a sweet @ss truck!

Yes, the color was called Omaha Orange it started in 1960 and carried through the line in a few varying shade but real close to the original. I can't tell if that color is a shade of the OEM color but that was what the original shade was called on the Chevy and GMC's.

I think the owner works there. I see it there every day on the way home. It is a nice truck.

I actually spotted it in Brentwood a few weeks ago.
