Here's a '71 Inflation Fighter commercial:

Notice that this one in the commercial has paint stripes, bright hub caps and bumper, and no windshield molding. Nice looking low budget truck. Did the Inflation Fighter package have a specific RPO code?

BTW- I was watching an episode of 'Adam-12' the other day and Reed and Malloy pulled a blue Inflation Fighter over!
