Orange is my favorite color, and I think these creamsicle trucks look awesome. This one looks to be in pretty good nick, what do you think? Worth 30k? More pics and info here.

Can't believe I didn't see this one until now. My cousin had one that he totally rebuilt. A 79 4x4 shortbed and painted in Texas University Orange. Don't know who did the paint but it was spectacular. He put a 400 small block in it. Incredibly beautiful truck and it ran as good as it looked. I have no clue what all he did to the engine but considering he owned an automotive machine shop along side of his NAPA Parts house, it was built right. Unfortunately right after he finished the truck, he died of a heart attack. I've called his wife numerous times about buying it but she's content with letting gather dust in the barn at the house. Just as bad, he also had just finished a restoration on a 1940's Indian motorcycle that now sits next to the truck. One of these days someone is going to be able to buy 2 pieces of incredibly finished vehicles.
