With 6 cylinder and bare bones nature of this rig I'm thinking a one time state or forest service rig?! If originally government would probably be green color; curious to see if repaint evidence in engine bay. Looks pretty straight!
I would have to agree a government rig probably orig with no options Usually they were light or dark green I even have had a couple but I have seen tan ones before Still a good price if solid with the demand for any chev square body trucks
This was back before SUVs were status symbols. Most K5s of this era were optioned this way. AC and power options are fairly rare. The 6 cylinder and manual trans were commonplace. The buyer was better off with the manual trans which would usually have the 205 transfer case instead of the 203 full time 4wd case that came with the automatic trucks. Fuel mileage was awful with the 203 case.
In the ‘1970s-1980s Around here the Forestry Service had several colors, Dark green, light green , tan , brown. I had a ‘69 Suburban from the Atomic Energy Commission that was light gray.
