I have decoded the VIN and found out this truck was a 5.3 diesel step side. I have never seen or heard of a 5 lug 1/2 ton step side Diesel before. Has anyone heard of or owned a diesel step side?
Thanks for your time. [SIZE="2"]

Engine type and pickup box style are not related.

In other words you could get any engine available for that particular model (1/2 ton) with either fleetside (RPO E63) or stepside (E62).

Here is the generic info packet from the GM Heritage Center if you want to read up on what was available:
