I am getting old. Completely missed that.

It's silvery-gray over metallic orange. :psyduck:

Also, in spite of the thread title, it is a '65.

I remain puzzled. I don't think it's faded; it was intentionally painted this way. BUT no one bothered to remove what little brightwork this thing has (door handles, locks, gas cap) and just...painted over it.

Who- or whatever worked on it mechanically did less than the bare minimum.

BUT the interior - way more time and care, not to mention money - to have the seats re-covered, this (clearly) custom carpet & pad installed (and the carpet is relatively new and in excellent condition, as is the pad).

I am really struggling to understand what the hell this poor truck has been through in the past ten years. Business ad? Like...make it look pretty, and just functional enough to move it now & then?

Sometimes it's as simple as those were the skills the person had. Maybe they had an eye/ skill for upholstery, but little mechanical and body skills.

I saw a Mercury version of one of these listed on Facebook marketplace (I know, but sometimes interesting poo poo pops up) and thought of this thread. Didn't even know they'd made them.
