I still have a '90 Silverado I bought new, 422,000 miles. I still have the 1990 Chevy Suburban catalog, which does not mention a Regency model. I don't doubt that you have a Sub with Regency badges and perhaps some special equipment, but I've never seen or heard of one 'til now.
Do you have a GMC? They might have had a special model or dress-up package.
Is it a Canadian model? They usually have totally different model names than U.S. production.
Perhaps a prior owner added the badges himself? I'm a member of the BMW Car Club of America (three Bimmers), and I have BMW stickers on my Rally wheel center caps; they were $2 each while the Chevy dealer wanted over $15 each for the inserts to replace my faded bowtie emblems.
Or perhaps it is a special designation by a dealer or group of dealers, like the Dodge "Texas Specials" or the California-only Ford "GT/CS" Mustangs?
These are my first reactions. If you have pictures, Sub fans want to see them!

My dad bought me the truck from Texas a few days ago and I drove it home to NY. I am pretty sure that it was dealer modified. I'll have to get some photos posted before I tear off all the trim. The truck looked like an old man's truck with ugly molded fiberglass fender flares/ running boards. It also has the ugliest multi color paint job. I'll get some pictures in a few days. I almost forgot, it's the 2WD 350 CHEVY.

Yes there was a Regency Conversion package. This is an aftermarket conversion. I suppose they probably still do these conversions too. I have seen alot of them in that model year actually. Includes a custom paint job, and outside trim. Usually new seating and interior trim too.

Aha! So you've got a "cowboy Cadillac". I used to have Texas in my work territory. You didn't see too many of these customized Subs in Dallas, but they were all over Houston.
Bet it's got whitewall tires! Lol.
