Its really hard to say. If you reread the first post apparently these were not uncommon. So it may have been a regional promotion but dealer appplied. The sticker on your truck though is very specific with the 3/4 and the 350. Those would be limiting for a promotional package but possible. So I'm thinking yours could have been a variant not too apparent driving by.
Dealers often do little specials. My local dealer back in '88 ordered a minimum run of 50 powder blue S10 Blazers and did a promo special called "Rhapsody in Blue" with a little sticker. It took months to sell them off! But a few years later they were selling special paint purple pickups.
Other dealers will offer true specials. Again in '88 when Chevrolet went to the T400 platform and independent 4x4 front axles I remember a dealer had a run of about 50 trucks built with the new body and the earlier solid front axle.
