Carry over order.
Chassis that have engines/components assigned to them from previous emissions specs that the factory cannot complete prior to model year changeover date are allowed to be completed with the new model year assigned to it, but legally still using the prior model year emissions. In other words, yours was a very early production '07 that components were ordered and received while the last of the '06 model year trucks were being assembled, but probably assembled in the first couple weeks of '07 model year production.

This is a tip/trick if you're ever spec ordering a truck. Get your spec sheet completed and submitted for very end of model year production. Make a couple odd option choices on the spec so that it gets pushed back in the quew slightly, and you will most likely end up with a new model year produced truck at prior model year pricing...capturing asset value. This is particularly helpful to those who rotate equipment regularly as it increases trade in/resale value by one model year without the actual cash investment.

I did this on 2 of the trucks I ordered. I went through the unpublished options book and added some minor obscure options that I knew the factory wouldn't have in standard production inventory. This means they had to source the optional accessories, which pushed my production date by a couple of weeks. I got my 97 Pete for 96 pricing which was around $4000 less. It was the 12th 97 model truck built.
