Deluxe was the base model no trim no chrome no frills, Custom had the chrome trim, bumpers dash knobs , nicer seat better floor mat and a few other items. The big window was an option in both deluxe and custom cabs. Some GM material does swap the term custom and deluxe but in the taskforce deluxe was the base model. Not to be confused with a deluxe heater which had the chrome dash controls also an option in both models.

Here is a partial listing,
