Re: is my truck "rare"?

If Elvis owned it you might be on to something. Otherwise they made a bajillion of these trucks, so few are rare in the desirable sense. Lots are rare in the "didn't make many others like it with this particular combination of features" but that rarely translates to desirable or valuable.

"Rare" for our trucks usually means a combination of desirable features not often seen together, like a short bed, big block, bucket seats, AC, speed warning, etc... options that individually, people want. In aggregate when combined on one truck that was built that way, that's as close as we get to "rare and desirable" I think.

If you've got the only triple-black L88 Corvette with FM radio, you're set. If you've got the only purple Biscayne with a tissue dispenser, not so much!
