I bet you're wrong. Valuable to a muscle car collector or average Joe? No. But, being so rare it will certainly have a high value, though more limited interest. A manufacturing folly like that could go for astronomical amounts

We're talking trucks, not Vettes or muscle cars. Trucks had way more variables involved meaning way more configurations combined with way more options.

An example:

'71 K/10 SWB Fleetside "Custom"
Red Orange
Black bucket seats
Shoulder belts
350/4spd
Posi front & rear
Tilt
Tach
AM/FM
Air
HD radiator
Aux. battery
10.00 x 16.5 tires (meant 8.25" wheels)
Tow hooks

I doubt there were any two trucks ever built just like that
