Anything is possible. I doubt it though. My Dad wanted to order a 72 shortwheel base stepside 402/turbo 400 and 373 posi. All black. We live in the DC area so multiple chevy dealers. We went to every dealer around. No one wanted or knew how to order it. Finally one guy said I can get you that truck and he finally did, It was one bad truck. I never saw another one like until a few years ago one ebay 1971 just like it. Guy said the owner of the local Chevy dealer was able to get it made. I have only seen a handful of short fleets that were factory and a decent numbur of long beds some 1500 most 3/4 tons. Those were all 2wd
