I just saw one of these, it was a 2500... which seems a little more unusual, even, than the others in this thread which seem to be all half tons. It suggests that this was truly a special order color and not something that was just forced on the dealerships. I'd love to see a SWB.

I'm kind of interested in these trucks, I gotta be different. Did we ever establish why they were available? Seems like we agree GMC, 1971 only: do we have a source for that? Wondering if any GM promo material exists.

And maybe its just a coincidence, but why is nearly every existing example not just in Canada, but specifically west of Manitoba?
