Whats the Sequoia Special option YH6

[79 silverado]

Like the title said, what is it?

Just something unusual I ran across, its not some kind of dealer promotional thing as it appears on the SPID label... took a picture of it.

I hadn't heard of this one before, just figured I'd throw it out there out of curiosity, see if anyone else had heard of this before...

I had the same thing on either my 82 Chevy of my 87 GMC I dont remember which. Dont remember now what it was for either. Guess I am full of no useful info tonight. sorry.

Anyone know what YH6 Sequoia Special code means? I have a 1983 3/4 ton Silverado with a 454. It is also coded GQ1 Rear Axle standard.

Google is your friend.

Here is the cut and paste.....
YH6 is a free Bonus Value Option Package or Super Saver Package.

To quote the 73-87 RPO Guru KIILew:

The Sequoia Special was the spiritual successor to the Bonanza/Bonanza packages of the '80 and earlier time frame, which in turn descended from the even earlier Highlander discount option packages.

While the earlier packages were specific option groupings priced at a discount, however, the Sequoia amounted to the proverbial "buy several options, get one free" scheme, and were apparently offered during the winter/spring months. Specifically, the buyer would receive either C60 air conditioning OR MX1/MX0 3spd/4spd automatic transmission WITHOUT CHARGE if he selected the following options:

ZY4 deluxe two tone paint (not color specific, with contrasting color on the roof and lower bodyside)
V22 deluxe front appearance package (i.e. chrome grille/quad headlamps)
TT5 halogen high beam headlamps
U35 electric clock
A01 tinted glass
ZQ2 Operating convenience package (i.e. power windows/locks)
U58 AM/FM stereo radio (w/an upgrade allowed)
K34 electronic speed control
N33 tilt steering wheel
CD4 intermittent windshield wipers

The overdrive auto transmission discount was applicable only to 1982 and later 1/2 and 3/4 ton pickup models which normally offered that transmission on an RPO basis. The package content was likely fairly consistent from year-to-year.

Other than the reference to the "YH6 Sequoia Special" listed on your glove box label, these models are indistinguishable from similarly optioned (non-discounted) vehicles.

Thanks Jim! I did try to google it and was not getting much information.

Humm...it was the 7th listing down on the first page. 1st was yours, 2nd was one from the ck5 board...a few toyotas and then bingo.

I always wonder if people are 'googling' when they are actually 'binging' or 'yahooing' instead. When doing research for my Cummins swap in my 88 v30 crew cab...I tried using yahoo and it did not bring up jack squat. same with Bing. Google had the goods I needed.

Oh well. Glad I could help. My truck is a custom deluxe. I joke that that means 'nothing CUSTOM and certainly nothing DELUXE' ha ha ha. no air, no power, no carpet, no power, no cruise, etc!

My 83 has all the options listed with YH6 Sequoia Special.
