I have a 1972 Chevy pickup fleet side that has the original sticker in the glove box. One of the options is “1YG820 – Promotional Option”. Do you or anyone you know have any idea what this option consists of? I have been told that this option is one in which Chevrolet took a few hundred (thousand?) trucks and repainted them orange/white and put in a 454 ci motor and TH-400 AT to see if the public would buy such a half ton, fleet side, long bed pickup. The truck came stock with front disc brakes, AC, tilt and the Custom Deluxe package. The emblem on the fender still says 8-350 but the sticker in the glove box still says green/white paint also. I can find no evidence at all of any green paint, inside or out. Chevrolet does not have any record of this option. I’ve tried. Please help if you can.
