The sports trim option was available on 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks with 2 wheel drive. It did not matter which motor and transmission was ordered. The sports option also was not available on 4x4's, 1 tons or suburbans. All of this info came out of the 1966 Light Duty Condensed Data Book. I also have the advertisement that you had and will post a pic of it.
