So in all said I give you the Pumpkin!!!!  |
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.

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.
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:
