Not odd, but adds to the uniqueness of the truck was the factory flatbed added to all that. There are rare options and there are odd options. I consider this odd to go through specially outfitting a 3/4t to have the dual wheels and a flatbed while not upgrading the rear suspension to leaf when you could just buy a 1t with heavier frame and suspension.

There aren't really any options I'd consider odd (that I can think of), more like odd combos. That is where my interests lay with these trucks.
I parted this one out many years ago. It did have spot lights, and the seats were the sport style but with the plain jane covers on them. I can't remember if we determined these were factory spotlights or the options were for something else. I thought the HD buckets seats were the wide metal back ones.
