LWB Stepside
GSA Order

The last part of that "91640" is the DuPont paint code, which was often called "Federal Grey"

Thanks. My googling came up with nothing. I thought it was super cool that I found out it was a GSA vehicle. I can trace it back to nonmilitary owners in 1987 in Utah, but don't have any idea of its government service.

Interesting that it was sold directly from the GM Plant to the government. I thought all vehicles had to go through a Dealer.
