['68OrangeSunshine]

They used to say changing the name of a ship or boat would bring down bad luck.
I dunno about Orange?
I bought a '68 C/10 Stepside in 516 Orange in 1973. Had about 49 years good luck cruising around in it, til April '22. I got T-boned on my way to a Union picnic. Took out the 12 Bolt differential with an Eaton posi, bent a wheel, panhard bar, and trailing arms and crushed-in my orange fender. After that, I replaced the trailing arms and bushings, and rear end. Now, I found my drive shaft is bent too. I have not pulled it yet, to see if it can be straightened.
Fumes escape from the in-cab sending unit. Frame may also be bent.
It only had 400,000 miles on it.

Must be the Orange Curse.
Only I didn't paint it Orange, the Fremont guys did.
