Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but the truck is Canadian built fwiw.
If I am reading that right it says "9V1".

"9V1" would be an "SEO" (Specialty Equipment Option), rather than an RPO (Regular Production option), based on the Number/Letter/Number configuration.

My guess is somebody used a fleet code to put black on the '73 Light duty truck.

Going from memory but I don't think black was a regular production color until 1975 model year.
