Welcome to the site from West Virginia. I like the truck, of course Orange helps it out a lot in the likability department.
Looks like a very solid old work truck and I agree with getting rid of the "honkin" old work box and going with a flat bed. Browse around and enjoy the company. You will find we all love these old trucks and will help where we can. Search for the deisel conversion, there are a couple guys going that route....

I looked at the 61 he just bought - nice truck! Custom Cab, 292, 9 ft bed, VERY solid.
Welcome to Slick 60s.
