order of rank in styles?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

badgto · 10-04-2004, 11:31 PM

What I am asking is what is the names rank as.
Such as custom 10, cst, cheyenne, and so forth.
My daughter is wanting an older truck and we are looking at a 1972 custom 10 that even has factory tilt wheel. At least it looks like a factory column from that era. The question being is like C-10 the base then what is up from there. Any help would be appreciated as the name implies I like the old stuff and her wanting something in that area is just too cool.
Thank You
Robert.

first off welcome to the board from portland or. second update your user options so everyone doesnt ask where you are from. third can you post some pictures of your 'badgto'? i have loved these cars since i was 5. my mom has a 67 hard top. CST is the 'silverado' of the 67-72 the cheyenne is just below that (i belive, and sure i will be corrected if i am wrong)

Welcome. CST 69-70 top of line, Cheyenne, Cheyenne Super, top of line 71-72. A lot of times the plain Jane C/10s C/20s can have the tilts, auto, A/C etc while a CST could have a three on the tree, no air, no power brakes, etc. A million combinations! A million possibilities!

Are GMC and Chevrolet the same?

1969 GMC · 11-04-2004, 03:17 AM

GMC had the Sierra (better) and Sierra Grande (best) from 70-72. The Fender emblems said 'Sierra' or 'Sierra Grande' as well as the special emblem on the bed in front of the rear marker light. This is also where the Longhorn emblem appeared on Chevy trucks.

Chevy had CST from 67-70 on trucks as top of the line. Blazers had it from 69-72 as top of the line. In 71 for the trucks, it switched to Cheyenne (better) and Cheyenne Super (best). For some odd reason, Suburbans could never get the top of the line trim.

Also available were the Custom, and Custom Deluxe (kind of like a mid level, between plain C/10 and Cheyenne/10). Then there are the Custom & Custom camper emblems that were above the door handle. Chevy and GMC both used these.

Then there are GMC fender emblems...almost too many to list! 1500, 1500 V-Six, 1500 V-Eight, 1500 Custom, 1500 Sierra, 1500 Sierra Grande, Jimmy, and there are probably more I am forgetting (in addition to the 2500 and 3500 series).

Also can't forget the engine displacement emblems. 292 (69 and 70 only). 8-350, 8-396, 8-400.
The Four Wheel Drive emblem that is on some 4x4's under the front marker light.
phew
