I really don't know Dave, the options list normally on the inside of the glove box was removed at some point. It had a step bumper, but I don't know who installed it or when. The only options I know it came with are the 350, Automatic trans, AM radio and that's about it. It doesn't even have an interior light.
But it’s cool look’n now !
Back up until the very late 80’s it seems that all trucks weren’t required to be equipped with a rear bumper from the manufacturer ( somewhat like higher GVWR’d trucks are still to this day ) - that’s when the dealerships would sell/install those step bumpers with the city/state & dealerships name etched in them.
I feel like the optional rear bumper thing ended with the intro of the GMT400. I'd guess Clifford got a step bumper at the dealership on Day 2 like a lot of the more base trucks back in the day.
That makes sense.
I recall the Fords still coming with no rear bumper through to 1998 until the Super-Duty’s showed up and them ole Dodges did the same in 1994 - maybe the design teams decided that they all needed a rear bumper to complete the look when these next generation trucks debuted ?
