9j9 deluxe sport equip?
I looked at a 77 chevy 4x4 that has 9j9 deluxe sport equipment on the spid as an option. Just wondering about the code. I think this could be a roll bar. Has anyone ever seen a factory roll bar on one of these trucks? Any pics?

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
That truck might be a chevy sport, which is rare. Search this forum for "chevy sport" and read up on it.

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
It is not a chevy sport. If it was it would have the code Z77 on the spid. I think a code like 9j9 is a copo order code.

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
The 9J9 is the COPO option for the "sport rail" as Chevy called the roll bar
As far as I have seen this was only available with the 9J8 copo for the Chevy Sport If you can post or email me a picture of the truck and the SPID I would like to add it to my reference file The Chevy Sport option in 76 and 77 was a copo The Z77 RPO code for Chevy Sport/GMC Street Coupe was not used until 1978 ....and last year was 1981 |

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
80Sport I sent you a pm with the full size images of the spid and truck. Also some pics of a 79 sport that I own.
I forgot that in 76 and 77 the sport was a copo option. This truck only has 9J9 on the spid though. Here is a pic of the spid. ![]() |

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
I think it is a 77 Chevy Sport;the 9J9 COPO may have included the 9J8
If you did not want the sport rail/roll bar you just ordered 9J8 But these trucks are rare;so we would need to find a few more SPIDs to verify I have no dealer order sheets on the 77 A couple of pictures ..... |

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
I think you are right Alex. It has all of the options that the black 2x4 fleetside you posted above has down to the chrome rear step bumper. I was concerned that white was not a color you could have on a sport until I saw that white truck in the ad above. It has the same color stripes that the black trucks have. If I can work out a deal on the truck I can order the invoice for it from GM archives. Maybe it would have a little more info on it.

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
FWIW: Looked at my "build sheet" and it shows the following:
9J8--Prom PKG 6Q9--COPO Carpet 9A1--COPO (GVW Rating Plate) Will look when I get a chance on my SPID as I believe the description on some of the above is somewhat different.--Larry ![]() |

Sport Prom Package. No mention of "Deluxe" as the one above so I would think that if the SPID has a 9J9 it would mean that it needed a 9J8 to order that option. Also the 6Q9 was the same as the above SPID which is "Floor Carpeting" as opposed to the build sheet of "COPO Carpet".Larry ![]() |

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
Thanks for the info Larry. I don't have the build sheet for this truck. The 9j9 included the 9j8 equipment, plus the bar with the lights on it in the bed.

an option on the original model. eg: 70 Z28 model was mandatory to get COPO# 9796 (Tall Spoiler). This is the first I heard of one option w/o indicating the original option code. Learn something new everyday.--Larry ![]() |

I believe those could be ordered free standing and there was a group that was separate from the mainstream engineering group that supported this. That was more in line with how the Medium Duty trucks were done, which had a much higher incidence of "one-sie/two-sie" option combinations built than did the full scale production light duty trucks.

Re: 9j9 deluxe sport equip?
Great info Larry and Keith. I was just assuming, but not sure, that the 9j9 included the 9j8 from the research on the 77's that I had done. I have just not been able to find as much info on the 77's for some reason. I even tried to order the invoice for this truck from GM media archive but they said they could not find it. I was under the impression that my truck was a very early production unit, but when it arrived the sticker on the door has a date of 7/77 which is a very late production 77 that was made in Flint. The serial starts at 500---.
John here is my 79 that I bought from a guy in Montana that is the exact truck in the ad above: ![]() Here is |
