What's the RPO for this Rare Option
So I've got the bed off my recently purchased '76 K20 and as I'm grinding rust off the frame I notice this awesome factory option:




not only is my truck a camper special, it has factory equipped cab mount bearings!!! That's gotta make this thing collectable?!?

That's what's known as a "Presidential Solution".

Or maybe "just hand me something, dammit, this SOB is heavy".

Re: What's the RPO for this Rare Option
I don't think it's factory. Seeing different styles of this, leads me to believe maybe a dealer installed option?
