Unknown options

I posted this under the suburban section a few days ago, but there is less traffic there. I am buying a 71 suburban 4x4. The spid has some unusual things on it. Does anyone have any idea on some of these options. Here is a picture of the spid.


I think the magnetic plug unit may be dran plugs with magnets, but not sure.

I have no idea what the tag unit, vehicle decalcomani or the assist handle unit are. What do yall think?

It may have been originaly purchased by the US government, or the state gov.

The tag unit may just be lights on the bumber for a tag light. the assist handles are just certain handles installed on yours that not all got. But just like a cig lighter not all this was standard back then. I am glad my truck did not get the shoulder belt option i hate them things. No idea on the other unless it was a decal (sticker) they stuck on it some where.

Got me stumped and I have been on here for nearly 9 years.
Maybe was a fleet vehicle, maybe an upnorth.
Maybe someone who got distracted and re listed things over and over.
Someone will chime in. Just ask for the SPID expert. Post a call out for him and you'll get your answer.

i wonder if the assist handles were installed for an easier trip to get to the back seat

Im sorry. I meant to say it was a government vehicle.

What about the radiator sight guage?

Maybe a guard like on the front of a lot of military or foresty trucks. Was common on a lot even correctional institution trucks.

It does have the grille guard or brush guard. Ive heard it called both. I just looked at the army truck thread, and his spid has the same vehicle decalcomani option on it.

The second spid has some of the same options and the glovebox door is the same color. Must be off of another government truck.
