Re: what makes the bonaza different
 

There are better threads on this subject but it basically is a chrome trim ring on the door panel , vinyl seat , and side moulding on the fleetside . It only includes the rear cab moulding if it was two toned . Otherwise you get all the upper and lower molding and wheel opening trim but not the cab back trim . No tailgate center trim panel either .For some reason tilt steering seems to be p[opular with the Bonanza . All mine have it . Bonanza was the middle trim level .

Thanks, I was wondering the same thing too.

Re: what makes the bonaza different
 

I have a Bonanza catalog for 1978. Basically it was a package offered for the slow Jan to march months.
There where 4 levels of Bonanza trim.

YG6 - Scottsdale trim package plus:
Bonanza trim plates
color key carpet
Striped vinyl bench seat
Deluxe wheel covers on C & K10
Chromed grille
Bright body side moldings
Full gauge instruments
Clock, AM Radio

YG7 - All of the YG6 package plus:
Automatic transmission
Power steering
Tilt wheel
Inside hood release

YG8 - YG7 package plus:
Tinted glass
Air Conditioning
Cargo Lamp

YG9 - YG7 pagkage plus:
Operating convenience group
Cruise control

Each of these packages offered savings on the options if ordered seperately.

Hope this helps

that helps alot but as frank said they didnot have the tailgate bands but mine is a chyeen with a bonaza package yg9 with all the yg8 stuff too is this correct its a 1980 big 10 bonanza two tone so it had all the trim

Re: what makes the bonaza different
 

I don't think it is a Cheyenne with a Bonanza package. The Bonanza package is a stand alone package. It is actually a Scottsdale with carpet and side trim in actuallity. My Bonanza is a two tone, no cab band, no tail gate band.
I think what you have is a well optioned Cheyenne.
