Yes - since the fleetside could come with either a steel floor or a wood floor the wood had it's own RPO: E81.
We haven't talked much about how the RPOs work, but they stack to create shorthand "sentences" that describe the particular truck.
So - NAPCO's would be:
K10703
& E62.
Which, in English, would be a 4WD 10 series short wheel base pickup with a stepside box (no mention of wood floor, because they are all wood floor).
If it was a long wheel base it would be captured in the model type, ie:
K10903
& E62.
If his truck was a fleetside, it would be:
K10703
& E63.
for a metal floor.
Wood floor would be:
K10703
& E63 & E81.
Stacking the RPOs like this helps you get very quickly to the specific part needed, especially with things with a lot of proliferation like radios, axles, radiators, engines, etc. A separate part number is pulled and new part created to cover each available permutation.
